to be clear, playback of 4oD content does work in the beta196. problem is in (lack of) search results.
has anyone confirmed they can find 4oD content successfully using any youtube plugin? despite trying many i have never seen this work.
any link to the latest official youtube plugin please? i don't have access to installer right now.
To be fair, the information that you're referring to was posted on 14th Sept 2010. Things have changed a bit over the last 5 months. At the time the XBMC official repo was not allowing plugins that supported RTMPE due to legal concerns. This is why the YouTube plugin maintained a separate beta plugin (with RTMPE support) on a separate site. The legal concerns have since been resolved (or at least dealt with in a way that absolves XBMC of responsibility for how you use the plugin you download), so there is now no need to maintain the separate beta plugin. And that's the point of my last post: the beta isn't maintained any more; I only mentioned RTMPE because that's the reason that it was last updated so long ago. If you just download and install the YouTube plugin from the official repo it should work for 4oD. I have just done a search for, and started watching an episode of Peep Show found by searching for "peep show 4odcomedy" which ,as far as I can tell, finds all available episodes. It definitely works.
To get the latest Youtube plugin from the addon repo:
Settings > Add-ons > Get Add-ons > XBMC.org Add-ons > Video > YouTube
I'm afraid I don't know a link to directly download the plugin, you could try asking on this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=79487
