So the "listening serivce" has to be running only if the addon is in foreground and it is paired with a device. Technically not possible. Addons (not scripts or services) are only triggered to execute something (mostly one step). This isn't enough to start a service. A service is always running otherwise it isn't a service. The function behind the paring of YouTube is completely different to MTV and NEEDS A PERMANENT CONNECTION TO THE YOUTUBE/GOOGLE SERVER! Every command you send from your device will run first through the YouTube/Google Server before reaching your HTPC. I would prefer in your case Yatse....everything else isn't worth the time and effort. The protocol isn't that simple and undocumented, because it's for hardware-manufactures, we only can reverse engineer the protocol - and that's too much to handle.

Didn't know the concept behind Youtube remote feature and addons/services/scripts regarding Kodi, so I didn't know what's possible and what's not RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - Nailzy - 2015-02-22 Hey bromix - cheers for the awesome addon and for keeping Youtube alive within XBMC. I only have two issues which would be great if you could answer... 1. The old youtube plugin did not have an issue with region locked content... so alot of the music videos I watch (I'm in the UK) return the "This is not available in your country" flag whereas the old plugin didn't do that. Is there any way around that without using a DNS/VPN service? 2. Every time I do a search within Youtube - the search always returns in a list format by default even though I am using the Confluence default skin. All other pages default to thumbnail - just every new search within the plugin gives the list view back by default. Have you come accross it before and is there any way to sort it? Cheers! RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - jonass21 - 2015-02-22 When playing some videos I get the error message that this content is unavailable on this device, mostly vevo content,I assume because it knows I'm not in a normal browser. Any work around for this?

Can you give me an example...maybe a debug log (wiki) maybe I can see something. The other solution would be a proxy. (2015-02-22, 05:37)Nailzy Wrote: 2.

The setting for overriding the view is happening here The search result is set to content-type=episodes and the mechanism will set the view you defined for episodes (list). If you wan't another view you have to disable the setting in the addon-settings.

Ahh...now I see the issue...mhmm... Update Okay...this seems to be the issue of old saved view modes for each folder (before the override). I cleaned everything so no stored view mode exists....now it's working. RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - letac - 2015-02-22 50 videos limit in My Subscriptions list is to small for me. Is it possible to enlarge it, to 100, or more? Thank you for great addon! RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - Trilip - 2015-02-22 Hi, here is the French translation update Strings Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> Addon Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> Edit : Correction RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - bromix - 2015-02-22 (2015-02-22, 14:12)letac Wrote: 50 videos limit in My Subscriptions list is to small for me. Is it possible to enlarge it, to 100, or more? At the moment not...that's a limitation of the APIv2. I hope Google will provide something similar till may 2015 for APIv3 to overcome the limitation of 50 videos.

Thanks for taking the time to look into my issues - much appreciated. I'm running 5.0.7 beta3 and the searches are still defaulting to list view as before. Previous searches all go to thumbnails (as I always change it after a search to look at them) Any ideas if it's an issue my side or something? I'm on a standard Kodi install with confluence as my only skin Also regarding the region issue - next video that throws me the flag - I'll grab you the debug log. Again many thanks for your time! **UPDATE** I reinstalled the plugin (actually renamed the Kodi folder in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming and reinstalled the plugin) and got prompted to execute the setup wizard which I'd never had before (I adopted the plugin very early on) - ran the wizard and made my choices - still the same issue. In my override view options - both were set to 500 after executing the setup wizard RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.0 Helix - TamaraKama - 2015-02-24 I've been getting restricted content errors from all of Pixel Dan Eardleys videos and the Youtube Beta addon lately such as with this one: http://youtu.be/Hp0gI8KJw20 |
