Thanks, that one really got annoying :-D YouTube - Steph09 - 2021-10-10 Since i started the YouTube premium trial yesterday I've had no issues playing any video. None of the freezing or buffering after a few seconds as i was experiencing before. RE: YouTube - jmh2002 - 2021-10-10 Quote:https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/issues/163#issuecomment-939523703 For those that wish to add other Repos for the YouTube addon (eg: the Testing Repo for Alpha versions) you can do as follows: - Kodi > File Manager > Add Source > Enter http://panicked.xyz/repositories/ > Enter A Name (eg: YouTube Repos) - Kodi > Addons > Install From Zip > YouTube Repos > Choose The Required Repo (eg: for Alpha choose the Testing repos) - Kodi > Addons > Install From Repository > YouTube Test Repo > Video Add-Ons > YouTube > Install Naturally you should choose the Matrix Repos for Kodi v19 Matrix installations, and Not the Matrix Repos for older setups. To confirm, there is no functional difference as far as playback of videos is concerned between the Official and UnOfficial versions. The only difference is that the UnOfficial version includes an option to set the Kodi 'View Type' automatically for your skin (eg: List, Media Info, Thumbnail, etc). Please also note that per the warning displayed in Kodi during the Install from Zip process, once a new final version of the YouTube addon is released to the Official Kodi Repo you may need to install this new final version again manually from the Official Kodi Repo in order to receive future automatic updates. It can be installed directly over the top of any previous Testing version. Hope this helps RE: YouTube - jim_p - 2021-10-11 One minor correction. Users on kodi 19+ must use the matrix folder in order to install the zip of the repo they want. The reason again is compatibility with the relevant python version. The repo for kodi 18 and older leads here Code: https://panicked.xyz/repository/youtube/python2/official_testing/ Code: https://panicked.xyz/repository/youtube/python3/official_testing/ RE: YouTube - jmh2002 - 2021-10-11 (2021-10-11, 05:48)jim_p Wrote: One minor correction.

I saw a work around posted once, but was over my head. you should see a button that says "Download YouTube Data" - when you click on it - you will be offered several options to download your YouTube history - if you click on the "All YouTube Data Included" you'll be presented a list of different parts you can download - the only one you need for this is Playlists ... if you download this and open it - you will find the reference name of the Watch Later list - you can add this to the folders setting for Watch Later in the YouTube add-on ... I know these aren't the best instructions but I hope it helps if you'd like to have your Watch Later list back ;-) RE: YouTube - DarrenHill - 2021-10-12 Neither watch later or the history are made visible to the API by Google, so the addon can't access them. The workaround is to make a normal playlist instead of Watch Later, and use that in the same way (save things to it rather than the watch later list). The addon can be configured to use that new playlist as a source, and as it is visible to the API (it's just a normal playlist, not a special one like watch later) then it will work. The route above could be another option (as a way to make the playlist visible to the API), but I haven't tested it to see if it works or not (Google have an annoying tendency of breaking things like this, just because they can). RE: YouTube - -Riffer- - 2021-10-12 I just want to tell, that the Alpha2 version works for me. Previously any video that had one or many pre-advertising blocks now runs without any stutter or buffering at all. Many thanks to @anxdpanic for his great support! RE: YouTube - Artax5005 - 2021-10-12 Unfortunately for me the Alpha2 update on Kodi 18.9 doesn't work, I still have stuttering / buffering issues after playing a Yotube video. RE: YouTube - Artstar - 2021-10-12 I'm liking it so far on Coreelec (Matrix) 19.2, with the result being smooth starts and no issues skipping forward or reverse in 30 second chunks. I haven't tried lengthier skip intervals yet but I'll give it a crack soon. Many thanks for all the hard work, Jmh and Co. RE: YouTube - wmansir - 2021-10-12 The Alpha2 build seemed to work well after I installed it yesterday, but today it's not doing so well. It's not pausing to buffer like it did with the release build, but I'm getting a lot of audio and video stuttering or video plays well but audio stutters and/or drops out completely. EDIT: Looks like it have have been a different issue on my system. I noticed Twitch plugin was dropping some audio as well and then found a bunch of repeating audio device enumeration info in my kodi log, so I disabled some device I don't use, restarted and now everything, including the alpha2 plugin seems to be working. |
