hi all,
When i use the youtube app on my htc desire and choose share and play on xbmc the playlist stops and nothing happens. (I use xbmc remote v0.8.7-beta1)
I've installed the youtube addon and everything else with the remote app works like a charm.
Can anybody tell me how i can get this to work? Thanks.

It seems that the link does not play if the "feature=youtube_gdata_player" is attached to the URL... If it is stripped to play YouTube link, it works...
I am not sure where I should report it, though? Should it be fixed in the Android app or in the main XBMC?

I cannot see from the code if the video link (v=) is actually extracted from the link? I am asking, as it seems that Shazam sometimes does not place this portion as the first part of the URL after the site (i.e. the feature=player portion goes first).
It is not a big problem though, as I can share from Shazam to Android YouTube and then to XBMC.

The regex I am using SHOULD work in those cases.
In java it's:
"^http(:?s)?:\\/\\/(?:www\\.)?(?:youtube\\.com|youtu\\.be)\\/watch\\?(?=.*v=(\\w+))(?:\\S+)?$"
you will need to unescape that to test it out.

Update:
My testing was too limited - it turns that it is not a matter of playlists at all - it's just the dash that breaks it.

Great work guys. Thank you.
The XBMC team, plug-in devs, skinners, etc. do this for us for FREE in their spare time because they want to. Think about that for a second before you start bitching...

I am running Android 3.2 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Just installed latest xbmc remote app. When I choose a Video file on the device I get the option to play with XBMC but if I select a YouTube video I do not get option to play in XBMC. I have tried the standard Android browser and Dolphin to no avail, I also verified that no defaults were in place to override option selection.
Works in v0.8.7-beta1 on my Gingerbread Galaxy 7``
Any suggestions?

The pattern for youtube is broken in current remote, I'm pretty sure the Tom. build (check tv shows alphas post) have this corrected.
You can also try other apps like Yatse that have up to date patterns for this function (and much more :p)
