Hi, I think I spotted a bug. Your addon doesn't play videos if a proxy is enabled.

My ISP is throttling Youtube-Videos, but it also offers a proxy with a fast connection to Youtube. But if I try to play a video with the proxy enabled it fails:

Could you take a look at it? Sometimes even SD-videos buffer.

anybody facing the same issue or is it just not working for me?

nmirza Wrote:I just tried the code for network buffer in advanced settings on osx, with newest official nightly build from june 3rd, but not sure how i'm supposed to know if buffering is actually working? a few pages back i read about pressing pause and seeing buffering show up. I've tried pressing info, and menu, to see if that comes up when paused or playing but dont see buffering anywhere.

since i do have youtube throttling alot, this would definitely be helpful for me to enable. as it stands, my advanced settings file on osx looks like the following. i already had a file in my userdata folder btw, the video extensions part was alrady there, i just added the network section i was supposed to.


Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <add>.html</add>
  </videoextensions>


<network>
   <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
  </network>


</advancedsettings>

Playback is purely controlled by xbmc, we just deliver a url to xbmc's dvdplayer core. What you're experiencing would be related only to xbmc code, and theres nothing i can do to fix it.

===== EDIT =====

Just thought twice about this. The url's youtube provides are locked to a specific ip, if the plugin is accessing youtube directly (it doesn't support proxy's) and xbmc's player core is accessing from a proxy (ie. another ip) the video links won't work. This requires implementation of a proxy client in the plugin and a larger refactor of the code, so it's gonna take a while to fix.

Hi, just checked around and it seems that python plugin's should be using the same proxy settings as xbmc if i understand this thread and ticket correctly:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=100197&highlight=proxy
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11485

Could you pleasy try and verify with a nightly build? Also please provide a full debug log with both xbmc's and the plugins debug mode enabled when testing Smile

Well, doesn't really matter unless all you watch is movie trailers.

The YouTube genre was crime and the selection is The Negotiator.

I love this plug-in but is there supposed to be a 'search' function?

I know in some version I had in the past I could click on 'search' and type in a query and it would bring up youtube videos relevant to the search.

Thanks.....

The folder has probably been deactivated in settings, go into folders and check that show Search is active.

I did notice that when you select a movie now, instead of it going directly to the movie it calls another html page asking do you really want to play the movie.

Good news.

I have The Negotiator playing here now. So everything should be Aok.

I'll upload a new zip within a few hours.

As "Tony the Tiger would say", GRRRRRRRRRRREAAAATTTTTT! Big Grin

Wait, The Negotiator was the only one that would work in the current configuration. All other movies/films would fail. Don't use The Negotiator for testing failures, choose something else.

Please try it out and if something still fails throw me a debug log(and preferably also the name and id of the video in question).
