Not sure what this diff stuff is. Could someone please translate this into a "find line that says 'this', replace with 'that'" instead? Or explain how to read a diff?
The first link is just YouTubePlayer.py, if you want to download it and copy it into your plugin.video.youtube folder.
The other two links are if you want to install the full plugin with the fix - go to System | Addons | Install from zip and select the downloaded zip file.
Been having problems with the odd YouTube link within XBMC as controlled directly (by keyboard or IR remote) and getting that annoying "Playback failed - couldn't locate video URL" error when forwarding YouTube links via an Android phone.
I'll try the PY file swap in a minute but in the meantime: the odd thing is, not that long along ago the official XBMC Android remote icon would come up when selecting a YouTube link from Plume as an option - I could open it via phone's browser, phone's YouTube app or the third option on the list, "Send to XBMC" with the official XBMC remote app icon next to it. Now that option is gone and I had to install Yatse to get it back. Is there some or other setting within the official XBMC remote app that needs to be changed to allow forwarding links to XBMC? The XBMC version is v12 Frodo stable on a Windows 7 based Revo R3610 HTPC, the phone is running CM7.2 (aka rooted Gingerbread).
How hard can it be I wonder...
Excellent - Yatse now forwards YouTube links to XBMC and more quickly than before, so version 4.4.1b works well for me for now, thanks to those responsible for the fixes. Now the trick is getting official XBMC Android remote to forward links. Or I could just stick with Yatse I guess, never really used it before so it's fair to trial it.

Getting dependencies not met error, when installing from zip
If you're using Eden (XBMC v11) you need to install the zip from the Eden link.

Yeah I had the same issue with the official remote, I have been using it for ages (over a year) and recently have been having a number of issues with it (including not being able to push video from my phones browser. I noticed a lot of comments in the same vein. I have been trying out Yatse which I love, it's free and has a lot of functionality, you can even re skin it if you want to pay £1.99. It has all the functions of the official XBMC remote but looks a bit nicer and works a bit better. Might be the first app I actually purchase, mainly cause I want them to keep updating
.
It will play video on XBMC from a YouTube link on your phone and even has a keyboard which is something needed in the official remote.
Too late
YouTube feeds still are not getting updated, anyone else?

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 plugin zip: https://www.dropbox.com/l/SrdosdpacjeyvDgd
Frodo plugin zip: https://www.dropbox.com/l/axITMmdkQzSpIuDD
I replaced the YouTubePlayer.py file with the one you have provided and it's working perfectly once again on eden, Thank you!
Cheers for the YouTube fix.
Thanks Mossy! Worked perfect.
