I love this extension for Firefox so easy to play videos now.. the only thing missing is send links to xbmc via iphone.

I think in future I would work on iphone app to create PlayIt client.

Hi Ajay,
Youtube videos have been playing at very low resolution while using play-it, whereas another similar chrome extension(Play to XBMC) plays it fine. Any guesses?
Cheers!

Hi Ajay,
if xbmc is playing something, playit refuses to play whatever you're sending
can you change this behavior so it stops current playback and plays whatever you're sending (other apps like the official android remote all stop current playback and play whatever is being sent)
or maybe give the user the option to enable that through the settings?
sometimes I'll send a youtube video before realizing that it's not the right one, or it's a crappy quality one, etc. Then I find another one and send it, but it won't play unless I grab the remote and press stop.
Thanks

PlayIt can be configured through its settings. You can open it from configure button in same menu where from you uninstall disable the addon.
Please share the YouTube link so that I can check if quality is selected correctly or not

Yes what you have described definitely more favorable than throwing the error but that should be configurable at the same time. I will put this as configurable in addon.

Hi Ajay...I have the "standard" option selected, and it used to play 480p earlier on but plays 240p now. Happens on all videos.

Got it.. I made few changes in my youtube parser, I will check, I guess I mapped incorrect quality type.

Hi Ajay,
I was unable to successfully update the addon to v0.2.3. It kept getting stuck at "Downloading 0%:, even though the main service's files were already downloaded and updated.
After a restart of xbmc, the service seemed to start, but sending anything would cause an error
Then I uninstalled, but realized the turtle script was still there. I deleted that.
When I tried to reinstall, again, stuck at "Downloading 0%". The service files were there, but no turtle script files. The service wouldn't start.
I then downloaded both from the github source, dropped into the addons folder, now everything works.
I am wondering if there is an issue with updating the turtle script while updating the service

Hey man, I've got the chrome extension 2.1 installed and pressing the toolbar button works as expected, but I'm not getting an option in the context menu of youtube links (I used the one on your google code page as an example)
Is there a newer version or something else I'm missing?

Yes, you are missing latest version. The latest version of chrome extension is v2.5.1. You can download it from here:
http://code.google.com/p/apple-tv2-xbmc/downloads/list
Few things you might be interested into:
- It will not be auto-updated when new release come up. I am planning to publish it on chrome extension app store. Thereafter it will be.
- PlayIt service add-on on XBMC can be configured to add new request into player playlist or stop the play for new request.
- Supports all video hosting websites mostly becasue it is back-up by URL Resolver.
- To save your favourite videos at one place, use Pocket app. Context menu item appears when right click on links in Pocket web browser version.

Ahhh that's the ticket. I just googled "playit chrome extension" and the first result is this thread, the second is this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDwQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcode.google.com%2Fp%2Fapple-tv2-xbmc%2Fdownloads%2Fdetail%3Fname%3DPlayIt.crx%26can%3D2%26q%3D&ei=BMmXUZulKIWe8gT5jYHICg&usg=AFQjCNGR3HGAlEWVyP2pQu0LpEhzmh3qeQ&sig2=tnJ3u97_YRgq6hRlF8adRA&bvm=bv.46751780,d.eWU
At first glance, it looks like the right place but after closer inspection, it links directly to version 2.1. All is working great now.
While I'm here though, a couple of quick feature requests when you have time:
1. Option to add a new video to the queue if one is already playing
2. A way to send embedded youtube videos to xbmc without having to open the full youtube page then hit the toolbar button
Thanks again for such a great addon!
