Thread moved to video addons.
There are a number of web browser plugins and android/iOS remotes that site playing to kodi.

You can use the video ID (ie the v=JmQDoldiHjk) as your search term.
But more commonly I use the Youtube app on my android app and play to Kodi using Yatse or Kore.
If you want to do it progammatically you can call the yutube addon to play the vid by passing the playback URL.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Old three, but I'll try anyway.
Is there an way to use *.strm files to open the YouTube/SmartTube app and play given video, instead of using the YouTube add on?
I'm on Android Shield TV and want to make an menu/favorite to open a given youtube video.
