Full Version: [depricated] old YouTube Plugin - XBMC 13.0 Frodo/Gotham only
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
If you want to keep using the YouTube plugin you must upgrade to at least Kodi 14.2 Helix.

There is no more support for 13.x Gotham and lower!


This plugin is now the official YouTube plugin in the add-on repo.

The latest stable version of the plugin is 3.1.0.

To run the plugin it is recommended that you use the stable XBMC 11 Eden release and simply get it from the official add-ons repo.

Login:
We understand that some users might be hesitant to pass on their google account credentials to the plug-in (paranoia is healthy Smile), and for these users we suggest only providing YouTube specific account credentials (ie. only the YouTube username and password).

NOTES:
Users who are still experiencing login issues should follow these guidelines when posting about their problems:
---removed---

Since several components of the plugin are now distributed as distinct services, manual installation has become so complex that we've decided to no longer provide old version of the plugin on our website. The source code for the plugin can now be found in our Mercurial repository:---removed---

Code:
We've had some requests for the source of the plugin lately, the plugin is still licensed under GPL3 and the code can be found here:

Issues and Problems:
Until now we've been using this thread to handle bug reporting, but it's gotten way to long, if you have persistent problems and you're unable to find answers on this forum, we suggest following this guide:

Know issues and Testing
Part of this plugin also includes an extensive automated test suite where we test aprox. 70% of all the plugins functions nightly, if something breaks we'll usually know it. Please check the test results from this site before posting a bug on our tracker:

Hehe, you might not have found any issues, but we have. Wink
This is VERY impressive. I highly suggest replacing nuka's youtube add-on with this master piece, beta or not. Kudos both of you. Nod
Just uploaded a new zip.

Fixed:
- After showing the settings window on the first run it didn't login.
- Improved error messages related to login.
- Added some more error handling.

I have looked in the code and httplib is only used after you login.

It is used when you add/remove favorites, subscriptions, contacts, etc. So it shouldn't even be used when you try to login.

Could you please give me your system information(OS, xbmc revision) as well as the debug log.

Also, could you try to login again after restarting XBMC.

We have seen this issue before, but we haven't been able to replicate it consistently, the few times it has happened it only happened once. If it happens consistently on your system we might have something to work with.

Sincerely
Tobias.

Hmm, I think i just might have recreated the same error on my system, logged in 3 times, while only entering my password and username the first time. First 2 times the plugin gave me an unknown error, third time it succeded, and the error log contains the same message 'NoneType' object is not callable".. very weird..

Could you please update to the new version, I've added a bit of debug code to it.

That should give me more information.

Thanks Smile
I can't reproduce the error, but HenrikDK is getting this:

The first line says that python has been unloaded. So this problem appears to be an internal XBMC error.

So you should be able to login, even if you get that error.

If you continue having problems please give us a full log with debug enabled, with the newest release.
