Yes, its because there is a conflict with the way it was written. It was either written for a different operating system or because xbmc seems to have been prodominately been written for Mac.
If your running Windows XP, of Windows 7. Do the following:
1. Download notepad ++
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/
2. Search of - folder options, in the start menu, or follow the prompts in control panel.
3. Select the - View, tab. Then in - Hidden files and folders, select - show hidden files, folders, or drivers.
4. open your (user) folder.
5. Open the folder - AppData, Roaming, XBMC, addons, plugin.video.youtube
C:\Users\ (enter your user/folder name here) \AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.youtube
6. Right click on - YouTubePlayer.py
add select - Edit with notepad++
7. If you are using XP, add a # to the beginning of the statement on line - 302
If its Windows 7, add a # to the beginning of the statement on line - 801
8. Save and exit.
Now you should be error free when running xbmc, while loading youtube - through the trailer section.
