Having the same problem. Hangs on Loading directory and then nothing.
I never had any problem searching videos. I only had problem with everything else in this add-on (Explore YouTube etc.). Are these fixed with this solution?

Did you apply both the zipfiles (including the simpledownloader fix)? Because this certainly does work.

Can confirm the "Play All" works on XBMC Eden / Linux Mint 12 after applying this zipfile, and the original simple.downloader zipfile:

Thank you Anteo!
It works on my Raspbmc too!

First I uninstalled the Youtube-plugin and the SimpleDownloader. Than I did 'Install add-on from zip-file' your version of Youtube, the Simpledownloader followed by itself and now it works again! Thanks!

RaspBMC on Raspberry Pi :-)
After downloading your fixes, do I then use the " install from zip file" option? Or do I have to extract them then put them in the correct directory? If so, where exactly do they go? Thank you for your help
(2012-09-15, 15:53)anteo Wrote: [ -> ]I managed to fix issues described above. I've attached fixed versions of video youtube (3.1.0) and simple downloader (0.9.3) plugins. What issues are fixed:
  • latest change in YouTube that totally broke viewing videos
  • unsupported (=http) protocol problem
  • exceptions in transformAnnotationToSSA (list out of index) for some videos
  • subtitles are not displayed
  • videos with non-ascii names are not downloaded or downloaded with all non-ascii characters stripped (I tested fix on Windows platform, so not sure about correct downloading on *nix platforms)

This worked for me running Eden 11.0. Thanks!

Assuming you're on Windows: extract them to your 'user\appdata\roaming\xbmc\addons\' folder, after renaming the original folders (so you at least have a backup of those). Works on Win7-64bit, 11.0 Eden.

This should all be done outside of XBMC.

HTH
Weirdh, thank you for your help. I'm on the atv2 but I understand your instructions. I'll try it later and report back

No icefilms help here
It works in my RaspBMC too!
I sent the two folders, already unzipped, to the rPi using ssh via scp; and then I moved it to /home/pi/.xbmc/addons/ (of course before I erased the old version of the two folders).
Thanks Anteo!!

Could the fact I have two-factor authentication be an issue? It doesn't prompt me to put in an authenticator pin and gives me a failed login prompt.
You have to have a separate password for accounts like this. Go to this page and create an application specific password.

An update to my crystalbuntu issue: seems to have been fixed by following the manual install method above (just adjusted for a linux environment). Didn't have to set up a per application token since the plugin will ask for an authenticator pin when working properly.
@anteo: thanks for the fix!

For anyone wondering what changed, here's a diff.

Simple update and fix for Windows XBMC. Thanks to all who posted this!
