I tried in in my end and same results as yours. This is what I found in my log, maybe divingmule or someone else can take a look:

I tried the same video in the youtube plugin and it worked. This is from the log:

lazy, as long as google is not censored (exception china) use it for searching plz

PHP Code:

plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=xxxxxxxxxx 


be sure you have installed the youtubeplugin

Ok I am trying this code but it is not working. It all shows up fine but when I click the link in xbmc it doesnt do anything.. doesnt even try to think. Any ideas?

i'd suggest using the youtube plugins search to gather the videos together and then queue them up in one or more playlists and just save those playlists and use them as you like.

Youtube FIX:

First ive found out: right klick on the youtube channel and press on play it. maybe it works otherwise you have to follow this:

Open the following path:

first reinstall the youtube plugin (deinstall, install)

go to the following path

C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USERNAME>\Application Data\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.youtube

open "YouTubePlayer.py" with notepad and replace all "ttsurl" with "flashvars". Save it and restart xbmc.

then give it a try like my first option with the right click method. I do not know why some things work like this.

thatguy, can you try to get this one to work? http://www.yupptv.com/streams/jeeyar.aspx
The html contains both rtmp and octoshape streams but it seems like the rtmp one is not working

btw to be able to call youtube videos from livestreams, I think it will require modifications to the youtube plugins code
For example, I was able to invoke veetle and freedocast plugins from livestreams xml, but both required code changes
freedocast: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1094333
veetle: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1066564

wonder if it would be possible to make a change in livestreams to enable this (instead of asking each plugin owner to change their code)...

That's what the rtmp link I already tried already but it doesn't work in xbmc...just hangs saying loading. Does it work for you?
