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

Midnight Tboy Wrote: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



not sure if got the right data there though?

Links play fine in IE/chrome. Tried resetting plugin settings to default too

I had trouble too finding the correct code until i noticed it in the youtubeplayer.py in the 2.1.3 version of the youtube plugin, not 2.80
i seem to have the same problem when it comes to watching videos sometimes it works others it doesnt!!
issue = playback failed- false

Same here. After upgrading to Eden everything was fine. Then I was watching Al Jazeera, it crashed and ever since then I can't play YouTube. Tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling - didn't work. Al Jazeera and other plugins playing fine.

FML..... YouTube no longer works for me. Well at least my subscription don't.

I applied the fix a couple of days ago, worked up to this morning, now it stopped again tonight. I have also tried upgrading to Eden and the 2.7 version, but it's not working there either. Are we sure that YT isn't infecting the API so we have to watch their crappy ads?

As of Thu Jan 26 08:20:39 GMT 2012 I can confirm the Youtube plugin isn't functioning with Eden Beta 2 on Linux (Mint 12).

The log doesn't look very helpful:

Your're right, it isn't a full debug log (My best Tobias impression :nod

Something has obviously changed @Youtube's end, hopefully it is an easy fix which can be sorted soon.

I looked at Youtube, which I'd had some "Adblockplus" rules applied to: they've changed some of the HTML/CSS, presumably to try and interfere with ad blockers... a waste of everyone's time.

Hi there, I've tried this over and over and saw the same fix in another thread but for some reason it won't work for me. Here's the paste from my log, really appreciate any suggestions ? (I'm running pretty much vanilla XBMC 10.1 on OS X 10.7)

Thanks!

I'm guessing youtube is broken for everyone now then, on Eden?

Very very rarely it will work. It seems if I go into IE and play a youtube video, and let it play its advert...then I can maybe sometimes get 1 or 2 plays out of XBMC....but afterwards it stops again.......so at a speculation maybe they've changed their ads method?

HI, i was looking into our playback code and it seems that youtube changed a lot behind the scenes, several different problems with our automated testing prevented us from discovering this was happening, which puts us in our current situation. I'm working on some new playback code, that will fix this most pressing issue, but we have alot of broken test on our server and as such a release will have to wait until we've had a chance to look into all of them.

From a cursory glance it looks like youtubes recent changes to their api broke alot of V2 calls that the plugin relies on, breaking stuff like subscriptions and playlists.
