RE: Youtube Library - scott967 - 2016-01-13
I hope I'm not being a pest. I see when a playlist is set up, the folder and episode filenames that get created in the Streams\TV (at least on windows 7) have all the unicode characters replaced with underscores. That's not so bad with the filenames, as they are prepended with season/episode so they are unique within the playlist folder. But the playlist folder itself doesn't have this so after adding a channel/playlist written in Hangul (Korean) script for example, the folder name is just "___" which doesn't work so well.
Appears to be due to dev.legal_filename() using the \w class in re.sub() which I think only matches ascii characters by default. AFAIK all platforms should be able to handle unicode in paths and filenames.

RE: Youtube Library - rsquared - 2016-01-18
I'm loving this addon. The only problem I've got is I'm running on multiple clients with MySQL back end and a NAS for storage. In order to get it working with network paths (In my case: <setting id="tv_folder" value="smb://freenas/media/youtube/episodes" />) I had to make a few changes. I'm not sure if my fix below is correct (I'm a DB programmer and only vaguely familiar with Python) but hopefully it'll point in the generally correct direction...
Before any code changes, I was getting the following error:
Code:

I haven't found a good solution to fix this yet, but I'm thinking using a local (temp) location followed by xbmcvfs.copy might do the trick.

My network is fine YouTube just fails to deliver at a proper bandwidth sometimes (seems to be more common a problem for non-Google clients of any kind.)That's a bummer. I've not experienced any problems with other YT players on my network. Isn't your ISP prioritising your bandwidth? I've heard in some countries ISP's already started to do that.
My comment was more wondering if I'm the only one seeing problems like this, not intended to be anything against your add-on.

.You can use the overwrite folder option to name your folder with valid ascii characters to avoid the __ directory problem for now.
The unicode problems shouldn't pop up tho. It's my first python script and some encoding issues could pop up elsewhere, since I didn't account for it at the start.

. Have you also tried adding the smb:// directory to Kodi as a source? I've read somewhere Kodi can restrict access to sources not added. Thanks for delving into the problem and tracing it, it will save me tons of work. If I have commented out that section, I must have had a reason for it, I dont remember tho :p.
I've been quite busy lately, also moving all my software to a new computer. I've yet to install Kodi again. But I will look into this issues for the next update

RE: Youtube Library - hall.liam - 2016-02-05
Hi,
I've been messing around with your add-on for a little bit now. My only issue I have had is with adding music videos. I set it up so the artist is hardcoded to my pleasing, then the rest I pretty much leave as is. Afterwards, The titles are almost all facebook addresses and the artists are all over the place. If it helps, most of my testing was with Epic Rap Battles of History.
RE: Youtube Library - Sleuteltje - 2016-02-06
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay, I've been really swamped with school work and work for my own company to keep, well, myself alive
. I'm aware of the encoding problems. I don't think it will be much work to fix them, but I"m kinda swamped at the moment. I hope I'll have some time next week to fix the encoding issues. Stay tuned @hall.liam; I've got an encoding error when testing for Epic Rap Battles of History, so that shows the encoding is top on my list. Music Video artist - song recognition works best with Vevo video's or video's that maintain the same format of describing the music video. It is strange tho if you get facebook adresses as song title. The artist - song recognition tries to be smart and see if it can succesfully extract the information. It tries to strip ft. artist for example, so perhaps that causes problem with ERB. Do you have the hardcoded artist the same as what is generally in the song title? It tries to strip away the artist from the title, if it can't find the artist in the title, it will probably assume the title formatting is wrong. I hope this will help you in the meantime
, I will look into it when i have more time.

I could not make up from the log what you were trying to play. Could you supply the youtube link to the video you were trying to play? The error you are experiencing is: " Could not retrieve meta information from the database!". Please check if the show that you are trying to play has been succesfully scanned into the library. Are you using a different setup then normal for the Kodi database? Like a shared mysql setup?
RE: Youtube Library - spyvspyaeon - 2016-02-19
Hi,
* Debug on now.
* Now more simplified uninstalled all, included it dependencies, boot and reinstalled.
* "new TV show" with only my own channel (own stuff). ie. video I tried to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrzzem2ozA8
log here http://xbmclogs.com/pgyjvsc5c#line-1020 (line 1020) you will see the video link popup an error
*I did always the update step on the playlist(s). Before and after reinstall.
* I found a probable "mistake" if that is a problem, I've added Nasa channel, now I realize that this is a huge feed 3k videos O_o (notice brutal huge mega delay loading the playlist), removed when I reinstalled.
* I use Bromix addon https://github.com/bromix v. 5.1.16 with my own youtube API, (during lost of issues using default, same API for everyone "youtube blocks saying, daily limits exceeded").
* The error occurs on front end menu top (lol sorry not sure what is called). as well occurs inside movies or even if I set to Tv Series, followed this steps here http://www.homemediatech.net/how-to-tutorial-to-install-youtube-library-add-on-plugin-for-kodi/1562
RE: Youtube Library - scott967 - 2016-02-19
Couple quick ideas / feature requests:
1. Would it be possible to change the service start option in addon.xml to "login"? As it is, when I switch profiles I have to manually update. I tested this a little and don't see any downside.
2. For really big channels, it would help if you could have an option to just fetch the last x uploads when initially updating the channel. So I could just get say the last 50 and then just update with new ones in the future.
3. It would help if the storage for TV streams had a "season" subfolder (or season subfolders per year) as various addons and skins assume or require that tv shows are structured this way.

1. If there is no downside, I don't see why not.
2. Yes, such an option is a good idea. A few problems could arise tho when the order of the playlists is changed, which happens sometimes on YT for no appeareant reason.
There's also an option under construction that removes videos older then X, or only keeps the last X videos. Problem with this option however is I can't seem to find a way to tell Kodi to automatically clean those videos from the library without cleaning the whole library (which can take quite a while).
3. I've never come across any such problems or incompatibility. Addons using the Kodi Library feature shouldn't mind how things are structured, as long as it's scanned properly in the library. Could you supply some examples of addons/skins with this problem?

It's kind of a one-off. At least some skins use the Artwork Downloader add-on to supply "extrafanart". AD is designed to create an extrafanart subfolder in a TV show folder and then additional per-season subfolders, including an optional Season 0 subfolder for specials. Skins take advantage of this by constructing a path to the extrafanart for use in a multi-image control by looking in the parent folder to the library path of an episode for this extrafanart subfolder. So for yt-library, that path generates a debug error for non-existent path (though Kodi deals with it). But if a user wanted to create his own extrafanart for the yt-library "tv shows" it won't work without hacking the skin.
