I have been having an issue with my YouTube plugin not working correctly. I figured maybe it needed to be updated. After searching I found that it should be part of the official repository. I checked my system and do not see "XBMC.org Add-ons in my list of repositories. I have all of the other ones which I added before, but it seems I don't have the official one. How do I go about fixing this, since it seems this was supposed to be included with the original download.
The version of YouTube plugin I have is:
Author: The Collective
Version: 2.1.3
And it does not have an update option (grayed out).
The plugin can pull the RSS feeds, but when you click on a video it doesn't work.

Good job - logs always help. Definitely you should have a newer YouTube plugin - it's 2.1.3 and I show 2.8.0 in mine.
I would start by updating XBMC itself - yours is dated March 8, 2011 which is very old in terms of plugins and compatibility, as well as the official repo. Then see if your addons like YouTube auto-update.
Also, check your video sources - looks like things have been moved or deleted.
Keep us posted!

Downloaded and installed the latest beta. Setup did copy over everything correctly. I'm 99% sure I had "confluence" skin before, but now the navigation is in the middle versus the side. Any way to get it back to how it was?
Now, I'm still having the same problem. YouTube videos don't play and the YouTube plugin doesn't play videos. What to do now?
Am I supposed to have a repository named "xmbc.org add-ons"? Because I don't.

I just tried doing the zip before you posted. It's telling me dependencies are not met. Will try again and post a debug.

Go to C:\program files (x86)\xbmc\addons\repository.xbmc.org - should be 2 files in there: an XML and a PNG file.
If you open the XML file with NotePad it should have "version 2.0.1" near the top....

Thanks for the help! Now that the XBMC.org addons is enabled I can now get the skin directly from the repository. I had already read that thread and it made little to no sense to me.
