I was looking for a simple YouTube plugin, just the bare bones, to play selected channels. Couldn't find one so I wrote one.

Thanks to Voinage for the HOW-TO write plugins for XBMC.

p.s. I've found that:

&eurl is working better for me than &fmt=18 in the getFlv(url) function.

Release 2.0

Fixes broken index scraping

To edit the channels you need to edit default.py.

Cut and Paste your channels from Release 1.0

There are quite some channels I follow on youtube. What I'm missing in the existing Youtube plugins and scripts is an easy way to access channels (without having to search for the channel). I'd love to see a plugin where I can simply enter the channel url in default.py as a variable, rename the plugin directory to the channel title and it would give me access to all video's in that channel. So I could create a video plugin instance for every channel I like to watch.

It's probably not that difficult to adept an existing plugin to do this. But I personally don't have the python skills to do this. Nor do I have the time to learn how to do it at the moment. So maybe someone who does have the required skills could help me out? I would really appriciate it!

I am also interested for a Youtube Channel plugin. I want to add a channel and be able to see its newest videos. Any news on this?

Hi this script is not working for me.

Same problem here

It's possible to add support for playlist? thanks!

There is a YouTube playlist plugin in willsxbmc svn.

Thank you. I just tried it but seems doesn't work anymore

I downloaded the plugin and it only includes two files default.py and default.tbn. The instructions on the Google code page tell me to drop the files into the XBMC directory \Plugins\Video which is not a directory I have been able to find. I have looked within all of the folders in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XBMC but I have not been able to find the folder called Video. I'm I suppose to combine this with the XBMC YouTube plugin?

Some guidance from the senior XBMC users here would be greatly appreciated.

Plug-ins was replaced with the add-on system in version 10.
You dont't even have to google youtube xbmc... just go to add-ons "get more" and select youtube.

any idea of how to install on my ATV, this plugin is what im looking for, grats to the maker... XD

Grab official Youtube add-on of XBMC. Already channels support there.

Forgive me but how exactly do i view channels in the official xbmc addon? And also do a search by channel?

there is something wrong with google code, error 403
