Hi,

I am a big Barnsley fc fan and a while ago I created a BFC addon, repo address below

http://Tyketv.barnsleyfc.info/tykesrepo/

Its basically just a youtube addon created by editing another youtube addon i used.

I would like to take the next step and include some videos which are not hosted on youtube. I have been given quite a lot of footage by fans (some quite rare) who want it to be exclusive to the addon and (for whatever reason) don't want it uploading to youtube. There's also problems with the "Quota Exceeded" error on youtube which although I know how to get round this many using my addon do not.

Problem is I have no experience coding python and really don't have time to start from scratch.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help give some pointers on how to incorporate self hosted videos into my current addon.

Thank you
Could you post the source code on github?

While I review the code please visit Google API and obtain a YouTube API key.

ok, cheers
Looking at the code, it's a little heavy for just a youtube plugin....

I don't think you'll find a source beyond Youtube for the content you are looking for, which leaves you with limited options.

1. (easiest) follow the directions below, update your youtube api

2. create your own code to parse youtube directly using the same api key required above.

I'd suggest 1 Smile
Im wanting to host videos on my own server and link to them via my addon as well as content current on youtube.

Are you wanting any security on that? ie password etc?
