it is still possible to use the addon api like this for other addons ?
url = "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=%s" % id
listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=url)
xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(pluginhandle, succeeded=True, listitem=listitem)
Theoretically, if it worked before it should still work. We haven't changed any code regarding that.

This plugin just stopped working today. I reinstalled Kodi and updated the plugin, but I still just get an error whenever I try and play a video.
Error log
URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond>
Seems like a connection error. Mine install work properly
Maybe a debug log help more.
Nevermind. I'm not sure what was wrong, but after I deleted most of the stuff in appdata and reinstalled the plugin it works. Sorry for bothering you.
No Problem
better than something is really broken.

It's not really that critical. It's more like organizing the add-on's data than having the add-on creates files anywhere in Kodi's directory.

I believe @
Bromix changed the syntax slightly at some point. Should be something more like this:
Code:
plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play&id=VIDEOID
It was mentioned a time or two in the original Bromix Youtube thread.

I'm new to the forum and have an issue with the Youtube plugin. I followed the instructions on this forum and everything is working great in the add-on aside from the "Recommended for you" section. I'm not at my Openelec box, but I believe it resides under the "Browse Categories" section.
When accessing under the Kodi Youtube app, it would fail to populate with an "Unknown Kind" error. Under the Youtube app using the instructions from this file, it loads without an error, but the video list is completely empty aside from a link to the previous menu.
Is there a fix for this? I wasn't able to find one in previous forum entries or elsewhere on the internet.
Thank you!
If I browse to "Recommended for you" is empty too. I'll later have a look at it.
Koying (maintainer of android SPMC) has worked on 'recommendations' on his branch of youtube add-on. His code puts recommendations on front youtube menu which I don't think it belongs there, but maybe you might want to review his code for an idea to move forward. Here's his github link:

I think I downloaded this info before bromix wiped his repository and wiki. This stuff would be useful on the first page of this thread. I believe these endpoints are still valid.
Code:
# ENDPOINTS

plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=[VID]

@misty01 -
Thanks for posting the endpoints! I knew they were out there somewhere, just couldn't find them in the (enormous) old Bromix thread.
@jdf76 -
+1 for having these added to the first post.

Regarding 3. Adding channels to "KODI favorites" doesn't auto-update, you may want to see my post here in the Xonfluence skin thread:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2330124
It seems that this might be a Kodi favourites problem, rather than an addon problem.

Thank you for your update
then we don't have to look further for this issue.
