What platform are you talking about?

The links from the main website are the last supported and compiled versions.

For the very "latest" versions, you want to compile yourself from SVN or use a pre-compiled version.

Here are some Pre-compiled Windows versions from SVN:

I am having issues with this script on an xbox. I have the latest version of the xbmc build. Forgive me for being a newb here. I have done my homework and have many other plugins up and working, and they are all installed in the apps/plugins/video folder. This is the only one I have put in apps/scripts directory as it does not even seem to work anywhere else.

Is the apps/scripts directory the correct place for this?

It completes loading the "Recently Featured" feeds successfully. But, when I click on a video to play it, it hangs on opening the file. It gets to what would seem like 90+% of caching it. The dialog box that's hung says:

Cache size set to 4096 Bytes
Connected to server: http://www.youtube.com
Caching...

And it hangs just as it seems to complete caching. I have to powercycle the box. Any help is appreciated and I would be happy to provide anymore info I can give you. Thanks.

yes this is a script not a plugin and belongs in the scripts folder as you mentioned

as you using the latest version of the youtube script from the google code page?

I am having the exact same problem as bsr_dev. (Using the latest version obtained from your link at the top of this thread.)

I am sorry to hear you are having this problem. If you could please provide additional information such as exact build and version number of XBMC, youtube script, xbmc debug log, whether you experience problems with any other python scripts or plugins. This can help me to figure out what is going on, because I don't experience the same problem. Thx

Yup, re-downloaded and installed it from the link just above my previous post. I "installed" the script the same way I have been installing plugins, just ftp'ing the whole Youtube folder under the apps/scripts folder. I then reboot the xbox.. Same issue occurs everytime no matter what video I try. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong as far as install and/or running the script.

I can search and play youtube videos successfully using the VideoMonkey plugin, if that helps at all.

Interesting... the VideoMonkey interfaces with the XBMC Player API similar to youtube script. The only differences could be:

1) VideoMonkey has a setting for player type, youtube script currently set to use PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER on line 80 of default.py (of the youtube script.) You could try changing PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER to PLAYER_CORE_AUTO to see if that makes any difference, but its just a shot in the dark.

2) The URL Being used to play the video could be parsed differently causing some loading issue. At some point I'll try and look into what YouTube URL VideoMonkey is using, if I have any luck I'll post in the forum.

hello

nice script, can you add mouse support please, i have to use enter on the keyboard to play a youtube video, i cant click the video and play the video

thanks

mouse clicks are builtin, but were only recently fixed in xbmc. make sure your xbmc is upto date.
