Small thing (sry if it's been mentioned already):

The "Recommendations" folder doesn't like view changes, except List and Thumbnail.

P.S
@jdf76
can't wait DASH support finally working on kodi since 2013

Thanks for this hint, I'll have a look at it.

Which Nightly you're using? Which OS, hardware? I've downgrade but there was the same problem. Updated to Nightly 20160701 but still having the same problem.
For testing I use Win7.
Any way of having more than 50 results per page added? Realise it might be a limit in the API and need an extra request but that isn't an issue if using own keys?
Not sure Google would be happy etc and if that is unethical though.
Many thanks

Also would be good to have "date added" as the default sorting method I would think in most scenarios for most people.

i was thinking that version in your github have this enable and i install it on my windows pc but.... option is greyed out how to enable this to test

EDIT;
i figure it out why option was gray out i needed to enable inputstream.mpd addon on kodi to bee able to select dash option but i guess that more work needs to be done in order to get 1080p stream play

Hi,
I sent you the link by MP. Thanks Smile
I can see well-meaning people a plenty, trying their best to help others who are reporting they can't log in under Kodi 17 Krypton. The same advice is given over and over about deleting folders, etc. but this has been reported many times as *not* fixing the log-in issue on Krypton.

A few switched-on people have advised to roll-back to an earlier nightly of Krypton (or to make it simple: Alpha 1), log in, then upgrade back to Alpha 2 or the current nightly and I can tell you this works! It's just being missed by those who are trying to find a solution.

I've quoted robo989's post from the previous page, which is to-the-point and which I have just tested and confirm it has allowed me to log-in to YouTube.

Clarity indeed Wink — thanks robo989. Smile

NB: If you need to download Alpha 1 (it's not in the list of nightlies, not for Windows at least), I suggest you Google the full file name, i.e. for Windows it was kodi-17.0-Krypton_alpha1.exe — I found a source immediately.

Downgrade to Alpha 1 -> sign in -> upgrade to latest.
Sorted

(Repeat if ever need to sign in again)
Deleting files/folders/cache/resetting - doesn't fix problem

Just thought I'd clarity as posts above are a bit vague

I've been uninstalling, deleting, reinstalling, doing the API stuff, reconfiguring the options....multiple times...over and over...for months!

Do I need to keep doing that?

Try this

delete this folder plus everything in it.

C:\Users\Jake\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.youtube

C:\Users\Jake\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.youtube

What you then need to do is reinstall the youtube plugin from the repository either Kodi or Ours.

then you should get

run the setup wizard and you should be good to go.

The default page with no sign in looks like this

I would if I could get the Android x86 version of Alpha 1 to run without immediately crashing. I found a copy from ftp.igh.cnrs.fr, which I can only hope isn't some kind of malware vector. I mean, I would think the installation would have failed if the apk wasn't signed with the same key as my existing Kodi installation. At least that was what I told myself to provide comfort.

Assuming it's legit, Alpha 1 must have had a stability issue that they fixed in Alpha 2. Alpha 2 runs fine, but the YouTube sign-in won't work. So I guess I'll stick with Jarvis for a while.
Alpha 1 - definitely is ok.
However you can always try a nightly from around the date Alpha 1 got released...[/i]

When using the web version of YouTube, I add videos to a private playlist. But the playlists do not show up in the Add-On.
When I had videos to Watch Later (via web), there is an Add-On feature to sort by date added. But I can't actually get my addon's Watch Later videos to sort by the date I added them to the Watch Later list.
i have a feeling some playlists don't work on the plugin, it's probably due to the broken API. I know when i save a playlist from someone else, it never shows up in the plugin. so i have to save all the content in a different playlist.

One other thing you might be able to do is, do a debug log (wiki) for us, and the post it either on pastebin or some other logging website. Please don't post the log here.
