anyone know why youtube fails....

thanks.

Make sure you are on the latest version of the youtube addon (currently 2.9.0).
Also you should have upgraded your XBMC version to 11.0 Eden (from http://xbmc.org/download/). I think the new versions won't work on 10.1 Dharma

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the youtube add-on.

Yes, its because there is a conflict with the way it was written. It was either written for a different operating system or because xbmc seems to have been prodominately been written for Mac.

If your running Windows XP, of Windows 7. Do the following:

1. Download notepad ++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/

2. Search of - folder options, in the start menu, or follow the prompts in control panel.

3. Select the - View, tab. Then in - Hidden files and folders, select - show hidden files, folders, or drivers.

4. open your (user) folder.

5. Open the folder - AppData, Roaming, XBMC, addons, plugin.video.youtube
C:\Users\ (enter your user/folder name here) \AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.youtube

6. Right click on - YouTubePlayer.py
add select - Edit with notepad++

7. If you are using XP, add a # to the beginning of the statement on line - 302

If its Windows 7, add a # to the beginning of the statement on line - 801

8. Save and exit.

Now you should be error free when running xbmc, while loading youtube - through the trailer section.

I am using windows 7 and it only goes to line 367 when i edit in notepad++

Does it actually download trailers or stream them like the current youtube plug-in does.
