Might have been something with YouTube as it's working again for me.

I seem to have found a Windows-specific python error that's going on with this addon.

If I try adding a channel to my channels in OSX, I get this log.

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=347375

As far as I can tell, it starts adding the channel at line 959 and works great.

If I try adding a channel to my channels in Windows8.1, I get this log.

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=347368

The error happens at line 1225.

Code:

This only happens when I try to add a channel. If I just do a search for a channel, enter the channel, and watch shows from the channel, it works great.

I think this is the problem:

Nice work everyone. The fix has been merged into master. With the next Kodi release everything should be working great again.

Is it normal that the channel contents will not update unless RaspBMC is rebooted?

Hi,

I just found this plugin and it is just what I have been looking for, thank you! I have a question though, I'm running the plugin on Gotham 13.2 on the ATV1 with Crystalbuntu (OSMC) and I don't see an option anywhere, to add a channel to "My Channels". I can search, find and play videos on many of my favorite channels, but I cannot seem to find a way to save them for later viewing. Any thoughts? I am also a developer and would be happy to help fix this if it is an issue.

Saving channels is in the context menu.

Thank you, I was confusing the context menu and the side menu Confused. Holding menu on the Apple TV remote did the trick.

Add-on stopped working about 3 days ago for me. When I visit a channel the only video that will pop up is one with text about device support. Anyone else getting this?

Yup same here. I believe we have to switch over to the add-on by bromix

"Update, 2015-05-08: As some of you may have noticed, applications using gdata calls only return the device support video by now. This means that both Youtube Channels and our Youtube 4.4.10 can now be considered as obsolete."

I made a patch some days ago. It's available here.

I suggest at least to use your own API key and not to put the one from YouTube TV in jeopardy. This KEY is for APIv1 (internal) only. I hope they don't change things based on this 'patch' and we get a problem with the other YouTube add-on with the login or the 'My subscription' fix.

Pardon the n00b question, but how would I go about applying this patch? Would love to see if this get YouTube Channels working again as the vast majority of my Kodi use is with this add-on.
