Im using something like this:

youtube_url = "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=LBoPPQOcCfc"
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle , url=youtube_url, listitem=li)

i also tried

youtube_url = "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=LBoPPQOcCfc"

However It isnt working for me. Is this the wrong way? Seems to be working in other plugins that use youtube

you need to

1) make sure the item is added as a file and not a directory (see addDirectoryItem)
2) set the isPlayable property on the item (li.setProperty('isplayable','true'))

first url format is the correct one.
