gott_sei_dank Wrote:Tis exciting because a huge chunk of my viewing is now done through this wonderful addon, anyhoo the first problem I had was with My Subscriptions, great I thought sorted by a-z a nice improvement only to find a blank list after selecting more results, was unsuccessful in trying to unsubscribe, a couple of videos I tried didn't play (HD problem ?) and I was bit by a a problem which occurs I think with overlapping dialogues which kills XBMC.

I'm using the PVR ppa from https://launchpad.net/~lars-opdenkamp/+archive/xbmc-pvr which isn't the latest and greatest normally a little behind.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/655864/

Beyond the the playback issues and the gui.lock problems i think are cause by outdated nightly, i've been chewing my way trough the rest of the problems, pagination has been restored to subscriptions and it's now possible to unsubscribe again (youtube apparently has different opinions on whether a public api needs to be stable). I'll push out an update at the end of the week once i've gotten around to merging with version 2.6
The new version of the PVR build did fix the VP8 problems, though they seem slower to start with a little pause at the beginning probably a part of Youtube's master plan, hopefully the unstable api is also the cause of not being able to add favourites which is the only other problem I found. Keep up the good work Big Grin
If anyone feels up to running some 4oD tests send me a pm.

This will require you to run unstable xbmc(eden-pre), unstable librtmp(2.4) and unstable youtube plugin code(i'll provide it)

If you feel comfortable with all that, send me a pm.

ETA: Thanks to the help of gott_sei_dank it appears that 4oD is now working in our really really buggy pre-beta code. So it is coming.
Tobias I've sent you a pm, well I have tried not sure if they are getting through (sorry if they are Big Grin) but I'm not getting any acknowledgement that I've sent them.

edit

there is an option to save a copy of a pm, still a more obvious acknowledgement that a pm has been sent would be nice for simpletons like me
Got it three times. is aok Smile

I've send you a pm. Crossed fingers here...
So I have been reminded Wink that with the pre-eden build searches are no longer are saved.
Running XBMC on Ubuntu 10.10... YT plugin was working fine last night, today it's not (same XBMC process running)... get the uncaught error when trying to launch a video from search.

Tried a reboot, no dice. Other online plugins working fine so it's not a network issue.

Log only shows:

Did they change their API/interface?

Having same problems
It was running this morning actually and a few hours ago I noticed it die out.

I'm running XBMC PRE-11.0 GIT:201 10715-78a51df

XBMC plugin version 2.5.0

Im building the latest GIT pull now and I'll post back to let you know if that fixes it.

First part of excerpt from my xbmc.log

If there is anything that might help, just let me know

UPDATE: Plugin remains broken with GIT:20110803-e852572
^please use pastebin services in future
what the frack, videos don't play anymore, not even my favourites...

http://pastebin.com/06BQuLM5
Noticed people on a ROKU forum also commenting YT is not playing for them anymore... this is obviously some kind of move by YT to block players that bypass any adverts.
youtube sucks!
Just looked at the plugin code and I can confirm that youtube changed their html content which caused the regex in _extractVariables to fail ...
