[RELEASE] YouTube (Video) Plugin - De facto default standard YouTube Addon for XBMC

jammu Wrote:You can fix this manually to OpenElec.

Code:

Just ssh to your box (login: openelec/openelec) and do:
su root (default pwd: openelec)
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.youtube
vi YouTubePlayer.py

Thank you Jammu, that did it. For the record, I had to do the second half of the fix i.e.

< data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
---
> data = re.findall('flashvars="(.*?)"', data)

This fix seems wrong.

The ttsurl is the "Transcripts" url. I mean sure, it may work for you. But it really isn't doing what it is supposed to do.

Hello,

Win7-64bit, Dharma 10.1 as well as Eden Beta2
Youtube plays fine in browser both IE and Chrome.

Fresh install of XBMC, then Add add-on Youtube (2.1.3), but nothing plays via the addon

fix confirmed working! You can use nano instead of vi, makes it a little easier for non-pinguins out there

still not loading subscriptions, playlists etc, trailers not working for me.

i guess i just need to wait till Eden comes out

FRWH Wrote:For some reason the fix didn't work for me, so if it's useful for anybody, here's my fix:

Open YouTubePlayer.py and look for this code (like the original fix):

Code:

                data = result
                data = data[data.find('flashvars'):].replace("\n", "").replace("&", "&")
                data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)
                if len(data) > 0:
                    player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])

Replace the line

Code:

data = re.findall('="(ttsurl=.*?)"', data)

with

Code:

data = data[11:data.find('"', 12)]

And the line

Code:

player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data[0])

with

Code:

player_object = self._convertFlashVars(data)

(just remove the "[0]" at the end).

Take care with the indentation!

I just wanted to thank you for the fix.

Nice python fu!!

Hey, I'm no coder, but the first fix did nothing so I did as per the post and put in the second change. Perhaps I read it wrong but the plugin is working now. As per my original request, I would have preferred that this be fixed by a repo push but that did not happen in time. I waste too much time as it is patching this stupid system. All I want to do is watch some videos. Everyone preaches how great XBMC is, but after pulling my hair out for over a year with messes like this, all I can say is that this system is not stable enough to last a week without needing some kind of patch, and in my opinion, that is really quite irritating. I need to go to sleep for a decade so that when I wake up the HTPC experience is more thrilling than aggravating. </rant not directed at Tobias>

Hi, First off great plugin but i have an issue, it seems that i can't use the search function without my keyboard?
i tried using an MCE remote, ipad/iphone different remote apps and ipad with webinterface(wtouch) but the only way i can enter search criteria is with my "real" keyboard connected to my HTPC. the cursor is "stuck" in the enter box...

Use Win7 32b, Eden Beta 2, Aeon skin and Youtube 2.8 Addon

Regards
Benny

HenrikDK Wrote:This is the same problem Vultures was having, we have an advanced setting that makes the plugin default to icons view for video lists, it should be possible to disable it in the advanced settings part of the plugin, but if that doesn't work try to delete the lines with:

Code:

        if (video_view):
            xbmc.executebuiltin("Container.SetViewMode(500)")

In YouTubeNavigation.py (should only be 2 places), that should disable anything the plugin does with view modes.

i was having the same problem, changing the view type to "xbmc default" did the trick for me, thx!

Hi all,

I'm in Windows 7 64bit, a clean OS install of Eden beta 2. I've just imported my movie info etc, and at first a trailer played fine, then I get a playback failed message, nearly every time.

Googled for answers but can't see any. Searched for the lines of text suggested in the last couple of pages in my YouTubePlayer.py file, but them lines don't exist to be changed in the first place

Any ideas?

If I browse on the youtube plugin to random sections like top free movies, then sometimes it will play, mostly they wont

once go into the youtube app, theres a lot of data in the log, but trying to get the relevant info I get this
