Any other users of this excellent plugin found it's stopped working in the last couple of days? It still pulls in the list of videos in the four categories just fine but nothing plays.

I'm lost without it. It's become an essential part of our daily TV routine.

Probably because Reddit changed something on their streaming site that broke these add-ons. Hopefully, the updates required to adapt the add-ons to these site changes will not be too difficult.

I would say it's likely because the YouTube plugin is broken... At least I notices YouTube no longer works about the same time I noticed the Reddit plugin stopped working...

Yeah, I think you're right. I forgot about the dependency on the YouTube add-on. The good news is that the YouTube add-on is currently being worked on. I believe a fix has been posted, but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for the heads-up, Martijn. I just updated the YouTube add-on from repo and both the YouTube and Reddit add-ons are working again!

Hey BlueCop, I love this plugin! My wife and I always seem to finish our day by watching a few of the day's top reddit videos. It's been really great.

I've been wondering if it would be possible to add a selection of other "video" sections from reddit. I've modified the plugin to do just that and will post what I did below for anyone else interested in doing the same. Like the original, only the youtube.com domain is filtered, so other sources still will not work.

I guess what I'm asking, would it be possible to add additional reddit sections through the user interface? It would require writing a configuration section.

I implore anyone who does this to first backup: /addons/plugin.video.reddit.bc/default.py

Open the file in your favorite text editor and find the line:
Code:
BASE = 'http://www.reddit.com/r/videos'

change to:
Code:
BASE = 'http://www.reddit.com/r'

Further down the page find the "def listCategories". You will need to add "/videos" in front of the original categories. Modify to your heart's content. (play on word intentionalSmile So, feel free to add /popping like I know you've always wanted to.

Code:
def listCategories():
    addDir("Videos - Whats Hot",              BASE+'/videos/.json',                     'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Videos - New",                    BASE+'/videos/new.json',                  'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Videos - Controversial",          BASE+'/videos/controversial.json',        'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Videos - Top",                    BASE+'/videos/top.json',                  'listVideos', '')
    addDir("MitchellAndWebb - New",           BASE+'/mitchellandwebb/new.json',         'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Music Videos - Hot",              BASE+'/MusicVideos/.json',                'listVideos', '')
    addDir("K-Pop - Hot",                     BASE+'/kpop/hot.json',                    'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Documentary - Hot",               BASE+'/documentary/hot.json',             'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Documentaries - Hot",             BASE+'/documentaries/hot.json',           'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Artisan - Hot",                   BASE+'/artisan/hot.json',                 'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Artisan Videos - Hot",            BASE+'/ArtisanVideos/hot.json',           'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Obscure Media - Hot",             BASE+'/ObscureMedia/.json',               'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Conspiracy Documentary - Hot",    BASE+'/conspiracydocumentary/hot.json',   'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Rocket Launches - Hot",           BASE+'/rocketlaunches/hot.json',          'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Science Videos - Hot",            BASE+'/sciencevideos/hot.json',           'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Car Crash - Hot",                 BASE+'/carcrash/hot.json',                'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Police Chases - Hot",             BASE+'/PoliceChases/.json',               'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Cringe - Hot",                    BASE+'/cringe/.json',                     'listVideos', '')
    addDir("Popping - Hot",                   BASE+'/popping/.json',                    'listVideos', '')
    xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(pluginhandle)

Edit: If anyone has any suggestions for the above list I will add them to this post for easy copy and paste.

Documentaries (added)
Cringe (added)
MusicVideos (added)
Popping (added, Oh gawd)
ObscureMedia (added)
