RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - newb 1 2-2018 - 2018-01-14

Out of curiosity I just tried to cast a YouTube live stream from my smartphone to my Raspberry P3i Kodi box.
I can cast any any other YouTube stream but again no livestream just for everyone's information. This is really strange.

I'm not sure what answer you're looking for that a quick search doesn't reveal.

The default not working live streams in the add-on are HLS.

Hi,

After I have installed plugin.video.youtube-5.5.0.alpha16.zip
What should I need to do in order to able to see videos in 1080p?


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2018-01-14

@burekas  You'll need to enable the proxy for dash(>720p) to work with vods. Settings - MPEG-DASH - Enable mpeg-dash proxy, may take a minute before the proxy is up running.


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - burekas - 2018-01-14

Thanks.
Do you have a guide or something about all the proxy thing?
Just to enable it like I have done in the image?
Do I need to enable the port in my PC or something?

After enable these settings I only get this, I don't see the 1080p on the list

By the way the setting here still shoe 720p on max, is it should be like this?

RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2018-01-14

Nothing else required. That is correct, the 'DASH (mpd; / @0)' option will get you greater than >720p.

If you're not getting the desired resolutions from the 'DASH (mpd; / @0)' option then you need to configure inputstream adaptive.

Settings - MPEG-DASH - Configure InputStream Adaptive
for 1080 set
    - Min. Bandwidth: 10000000
    - Stream Selection: Auto
    - Ignore Display Resolution: True
for >1080 increase min bandwidth to ~ 30000000

Thanks, it's working great!!!
Regarding 4K videos, why does it recognize it as unknown resolution instead of 4K?

And this is currently a temporary solution or is it going to be always like this?


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - burekas - 2018-01-14

Question or bug regarding the Search category
(Regarding this version: plugin.video.youtube-5.5.0.alpha16.zip)

Why the search history is cleaned after each new search?
It only shows the last search.


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2018-01-14

@burekas
mpeg-dash/inputstream.adaptive is not temporary, the proxy itself may be.

My search history appears to be working. Check 'Settings - General - Search history size', if it's still an issue try clearing/deleting caches in 'Settings - Maintenance'. After that if it's still an issue, post a debug_log (wiki)


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - burekas - 2018-01-14

Another question:
What is the difference between the unofficial beta version to the regular beta?

* By the way, I just install from a zip above the official 5.4.5 (from kodi official repo), and everything is ok.
Should I need also to execute the Setup Wizard or touch the setting.xml or don't do anything?

Thanks, I haven't noticed this setting. It's ok now.

What about the issue of resolutions above 1080p, why is it shown as UNK (short of unknown I guess), instead of 4K?


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2018-01-14

The unofficial versions includes 'view overrides' which are not allowed in the official repository. First time installing an unofficial one of those you may want to redo Setup Wizard, otherwise no.
see post #4 * HOW CAN I SET THE 'MEDIA INFO' VIEW AGAIN?

Not sure what you mean by this. Is it a skin label?
The audio streams show as unknown from the generated dash.


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - burekas - 2018-01-15

Another question/bug:
It seems that when using the DASH-MPEG, it ignores the Video Quality setting and always choose the max resolution (4K for example instead of 720 HD that chosen).
Is it should be like this?
(Whilw when choosing to show the resolutions dialog before watching, it does choose the right resolution as chosen)


RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2018-01-15

Yes that is correct, mpeg-dash overrides that quality setting if the mpeg-dash stream is availble. With mpeg-dash enabled your quality is controlled by the inputstream.adaptive settings that I mentioned previously.
