Just discovered youtube-dl and am using it to expand the supported videos on my addon.

This is the code I use:

Code:

def playYoutube_dlVideo(url, name, type):
    #url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yVv9dx88x0"   #a youtube ID will work as well and of course you could pass the url of another site
    url='http://www.220.ro/funny/Cocalarus-Retardus/cEWvAHMxuc/'
    url='http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=51264'
    url='http://www.4tube.com/videos/209271/hurry-fuck-i-bored'
    choices = []
    stream_url=""

    if YDStreamExtractor.mightHaveVideo(url,resolve_redirects=True):
        log('might have video=true ' + url)
        vid = YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo(url,quality=1,resolve_redirects=True)  #quality is 0=SD, 1=720p, 2=1080p and is a maximum
        
        if vid:
            log("vid is true")
            if vid.hasMultipleStreams():
                log("vid hasMultipleStreams")
                for s in vid.streams():
                    title = s['title']
                    log('choices' + title  )
                    choices.append(title)
                #index = some_function_asking_the_user_to_choose(choices)
                vid.selectStream(0) #You can also pass in the the dict for the chosen stream
    
            stream_url = vid.streamURL()                         #This is what Kodi (XBMC) will play        
            log("stream_url="+stream_url)
            listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=stream_url)
            xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(pluginhandle, True, listitem)
        else:
            log("can't get getVideoInfo")

I get this error:

I'm going through the list of supported sites. Some videos play and some videos don't.
I know it is a pain to keep all those sites supported so it is no big deal if some don't play.
I just want to know if I missed something or is there is anything else I can do to make the video play?

I'm getting interesting errors from YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo() which returns None:

I'm running it on OpenELEC and what's interesting is that if I reboot it, the first time I'm trying to open the item in the plugin it works perfectly. But if I try to open this or any another item in the plugin it fails with this error until I reboot it again.

Does anyone has the same experience and maybe knows how to fix it?

I tried with the latest version available in Ubuntu and it works for me:

But why is it always working first time after reboot and not working afterwards?
Here's code to that addon:
https://bitbucket.org/older/plugin.video.nrl/src/02039c178bac94a386418e9799971db531752fcf/addon.py?fileviewer=file-view-default#addon.py-47
Module is passing exactly that same URL which is visible in the error message.

I like this addon via osmc but it's stopped working I'm getting 'control error' on launch

It seems to be looking for a skin which doesn't exist
There is no dir /resources/skins/main

From kodi.log...

Rebooted several times, freed up space and it's still doing this. Kodi log.

...

As you can see it says FINISHED but it's no longer in it's temp dir and not moved to the download dir (both on same local storage plenty of space).
Also sometimes it just leaves it in it's temp dir.

• Updated youtube-dl core to 2016.06.27
  
• Downloads that fail to copy from temp to downloads now are kept in temp with a message
  

(2016-06-28, 19:50)ruuk Wrote: The addon just resolves page URLs into playable URLs. If the Kodi can get closed captions from the video and you have the correct settings enabled, then yes. The ability to have CC has nothing to do with the addon.
