Alternatively you can install one of the following plugins, which is the regular youtube plugin with the fix applied (go to System | Addons | Install from zip and select the downloaded zip file):
Eden (XBMC 11) plugin zip: https://www.dropbox.com/l/SrdosdpacjeyvDgd
Frodo (XBMC 12) plugin zip: https://www.dropbox.com/l/axITMmdkQzSpIuDD


Update: ... or you can use rc42's patch below...

Thanks so much for this!! The XBMC developer community is AMAZING!
Hi...I am newbie in XBMC. I also got youtube error when trying to play any youtube video from any link. I've read the solutions to this problem but I don't know where to find this "YouTubePlayer.py" file. It is located in the XBMC folder in Program Files or some where else? Sorry for my English because my national language is Bahasa Melayu.
I can't watch UMF Live from Miami Sad

I'm on version 4.4.3 and tried to downgrade to the 4.4.1b version and have also tried to replaced YouTubePlayer.py

Getting this error:
ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=A0H7-eZm4Mg]

This is the video which I have added to my favorites and also searched on my Xbmc Frodo on Linux Ubuntu server.
