Playlist2XBMC – Chrome Extension

I think this problem is caused by sending a "Player.Open" command while the previous command ("Playlist.Clear") is still running. A workaround is to make jquery calls synchronous by using:
or to make use of the jquery callback functions.

$.ajaxSetup({async:false});

Making the calls synchronous didn't stop it from happening, however your advice did point me in the right direction. The fix turned out to be changing the 'Player.Open' command to 'Player.GoTo' for when the a video is already playing.

Hey, nice work.. BUT - Just a heads up for you (in case you want to head this off early):

The XBMC Nightly builds recently changed to require the content-type set to "application/json" in your ajax request..
Without the content-type set, you get a 415 "Unsupported Media Type"

Thanks for the heads up, I changed the content-type so it should work now.

Cool, quick response!

The guys in our office made their own plugin a while back. We started using yours because they never got around to building support for playlists and queueing videos (they just used player.open).. THOUGH we do have support for Vimeo and College Humour.

Just another thought for you (I think I saw you said you wanted to support other video sites) - to give you some feedback on our experience:
Your UI stuff for YouTube is nice.. BUT to make support easier, have you thought about moving your UI to an extension button beside the URL/Omni bar?
This will save you rewriting your UI for each of the video sites and make for a consistent experience across all video sites.

(This is just a quick hacked up UI we're using)
Again, just thoughts - there's definite merit in integrating with the Youtube UI..
BUT it makes support a biatch for multiple sites. Also if they decide to screw with IDs you're forever updating your code!

Anyway, keep up the good work!
Cheers,
ObM.

The new youtube layout broke it

either this extension doesn't work with the new Youtube layout or with XBMC Frodo
