Did something change in the youtube site today?

I am getting an Uncaught error every time I try to play any video file in both youtube 2.0.2 and beta 1.9.6 version of the add-on.

Confirmed on youtube plugin V2.0.2,

I know it was working last night so the change was extremely recent.

I concur, Yesterday It was working perfectly fine on beta 1.9.6, so the change seems very recent.

was working about 6 hours ago today, now this error. I swear these places deliberately change stuff to bugger up plugins and whatnot... apple do it every other week as well.

I just wanted to confirm that I am also having the same issue (Playback Failed: Uncaught Error) on XBMC 10.1 running on Ubuntu Linux 10.4.02 (Linux 2.6.32-29-generic).

It was working perfectly earlier today, then when went to use it tonight, I can't get any videos to play, whether I'm logged in or not. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, but no luck.

EDIT: Using version 2.0.2 of the YouTube plugin, in case that matters. Seems like a change in the YouTube API to me, so the plugin probably isn't at fault.

Youtube has switched to handshake 9, along with a few other sites. The rtmp guys are on it, but this one's likely not going to be a quick fix.

Thanks for the quick update on the problem!

I realize it's hard to give time estimates for this kind of thing, but what do you consider "not a quick fix"? A week? A month?

While TheUni is correct about the version 9 rtmp handshake this only applies to a small subset of video content.

It seems that the youtube decided to change encoding on their html and that is currently messing with our url extraction code. I've had a fix in our trunk since last night (caught this error while watching up on some lets plays). I wanted to see if this was a temporary problem with youtubes servers but it seems that its a permanent change so I'll push a bugfixing update out later today.
