Yes it will.

Generally when we talk about plugin versions:

2.1.x series = dharma
2.5 and above = eden


Intermittent error on Youtube - yeleek - 2012-01-22

Hi,

Intermittently the youtube plugin refuses to play a video. The log shows the message below when it occurs. The video attempted in this case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgButvrG_Pg&safeSearch=none) works fine on same machine via firefox. Any ideas pls? I know on previous pages, people gave a fix for a similar issue. This problem for me only doesn't effect ALL videos, just most. Is that fix still worth attempting? Thanks

vijayk416 Wrote:Can these changes please be pushed out via a repo update? Anyone on OpenElec cannot make changes to the system. This is a core plugin for XBMC so having this as a manual fix does not seem intuitive to me. Can someone with access to updating the repo please look into this?

You can fix this manually to OpenElec.
Code:
Just ssh to your box (login: openelec/openelec) and do:
su root (default pwd: openelec)
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.youtube
vi YouTubePlayer.py

Edit the line mentioned on fix
If you dont know how to use vi -editor.. check this vi cheatcheet: http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html
reboot and finish.. All my issues with youtube are now gone and send to xbmc browser plugin is also working as it should now.

Thanks enigma83 for the fix.


youtube plugin not saving search history - jfatica - 2012-01-22

I'm having trouble with the youtube app not saving my search results.

The youtube plugin used to save previous searches, now it does not.

I deleted the settings.xml file and reconfigured everything...same problem.

I deleted /User/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database/commoncache.db and that got rid of some old searches, but it still does not keep any new ones.

I have attached a log.

http://pastebin.com/1HU4Mia1

Anyone else experience this or have any idea how to fix it?

Hi guys,

I'm getting the Script Failed: Plugin.video.youtube error, when trying to play movie trailers
I've tried the data = re.findall('flashvars="(.*?)"', data) fix but the some trailers still will not play
I'm running Dharma 10.1 Git: e9e9099 with YouTube plugin version: 2.1.3. Here are the errors that I am seeing:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

evanroheff21 Wrote:Thanks Enigma83! I tried out your fix on v2.1.3 of the plugin running on Ubuntu 10.04. For me, it was actually line 302. I'll post some more context of the code so others may try this out, until an official fix is released.


Code before changes (YouTubePlayer.py)
Code:
else:
        data = result
        data = data[data.find('flashvars'):].replace("\n", "").replace("&amp;", "&")
this line -->    data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
        if len(data) > 0:
            player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])
Code after changes (YouTubePlayer.py)
Code:
else:
        data = result
        data = data[data.find('flashvars'):].replace("\n", "").replace("&amp;", "&")
this line -->    data = re.findall('flashvars="(.*?)"', data)
        if len(data) > 0:
            player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])

FUCK YEAH..... Happy Wife and Happy me....

Thanks for the fix! I noticed it when showing it off to my friends, who laughed at me for getting this foolish Linux thingy.

After fixing it with SSH'ing into my machine they all think I'm a hacker. Smile


- woodg8 - 2012-01-23

Is anyone else able to get to page 2 of their subscriptions list?

I get a script error when I click next page


- spsmyth - 2012-01-23

I've been pulling my hair out trying to fix this all day. Added to my plugin and I'm good to go! The new YouTube has been going for about a week as far as I can tell and I was determined to get this repaired today. Again, many thanks.


- FRWH - 2012-01-23

For some reason the fix didn't work for me, so if it's useful for anybody, here's my fix:

Open YouTubePlayer.py and look for this code (like the original fix):

Code:
                data = result
                data = data[data.find('flashvars'):].replace("\n", "").replace("&amp;", "&")
                data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
                if len(data) > 0:
                    player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])

Replace the line
Code:
data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
with
Code:
data = data[11:data.find('"', 12)]

And the line
Code:
player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])
with
Code:
player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data)
(just remove the "[0]" at the end).

Take care with the indentation!

Thank you Jammu, that did it. For the record, I had to do the second half of the fix i.e.

< data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
---
> data = re.findall('flashvars="(.*?)"', data)

This fix seems wrong.

The ttsurl is the "Transcripts" url. I mean sure, it may work for you. But it really isn't doing what it is supposed to do.

Hello,

Win7-64bit, Dharma 10.1 as well as Eden Beta2
Youtube plays fine in browser both IE and Chrome.

Fresh install of XBMC, then Add add-on Youtube (2.1.3), but nothing plays via the addon Sad

fix confirmed working! You can use nano instead of vi, makes it a little easier for non-pinguins out there


- cami - 2012-01-24

still not loading subscriptions, playlists etc, trailers not working for me.

i guess i just need to wait till Eden comes out
