vaclav77 Wrote:Hi,

I have problems playing videos on Fedora 14. My XBMC version is xbmc-10.0-1.fc14.x86_64 (installed through yum). Search function returns "uncaught error" - log below... I installed the 2.0 plugin through the Add-ons interface. I can see thumbnails in the predefined categories but no videos actually start playing. I tried with the firewall turned off and I got the same results. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,,,

Hi vaclav77, we need the entire log with the plugins debug mode enabled, your specific section doesn't really say anything.

Thank you.

I am not a big youtuber, but since they cancelled MTV in basic cable locally I needed some new background video/sound while doing other stuff. A youtube playlist is the solution for this. All I really want is to loop the items in the playlist in one flow. I assume there is a good reason why this is not easily done.

In the mean time, you can create playlists on youtube on any computer (and some phones), and queue the entire playlist from the plugin.

So while managing playlists is probably going to be implemented(ugly, but still), you can still play playlists you have created through other methods.

Yes, thats is what I want to do. Problem is that I can only play one item at the time unless I use the described queue up procedure.
Or did HenrikDK and I talk passed each other and I have misunderstood?

If you press the context menu button (i don't know what it is on your setup) there should be an item called "Now playing...", that will give you your current queue.

You don't have to start playback before you add to a queue. You can "Add folder to queue" and then use "Now playing...", and just start the first item in the queue.

Now playing is always empty including when queue is working using described procedure.
I checked the debug log, no useful info from what I can see.

That's weird. it works for me.

Hm, I have add-on 2.0.0 and Dharma stable (r35648). Live based but heavily customized on the ubuntu side. I can try a clean live but I dont see how added ubuntu packages could interfere with xbmc queues.

I appear to be wrong. I just tested myself and indeed the queue is empty (actually, i got the music queue, not the video queue).

I seem to recall that it worked in a prior release, but i'm not certain.

Ah, yes I noticed it was the music queue but since I never queue video I assumed it was me being a bit slow to understand.

If go to my tv folder and select "Now playing" I see the youtube queue!
Must be a simple crosswire?

Ok, this is great. perhaps we will see a quick fix. If I get some time I might take a look on the code later on. I would like to hook something up that brings me directly into the playlist folder.
