I have been working steadily on the purchases support for the you tube plugin. I have submitted a PR, and will await its consideration. In the meantime I am hoping some of you might give it a try and let me know what works and what does not.
You can download the beta plugin with the enhancements from here:
https://github.com/pellcorp/youtube-xbmc...se_support
It won't clober your current youtube plugin as it is known as 'plugin.video.youtube.beta' when in git hub, none of my doing, that is the default for the git hub repo.
This works for both movies and tv series, but I have only a few purchases, so I have no tested pagination, not even sure how I would as I don't know what the formatting looks like.
There is a new "My Purchases" button that will provide access to your purchased videos. I did note that some of the context menu items are not going to be relevant to this section, such
as Download video, but they still appear. I guess I am going to have to figure out how to remove those too. Also the Video Information section is empty except for the thumbnail.
The plugin only supports loading the videos into Chrome. I have only tested it on the dev (38) release of chrome on ubuntu 14.04 and it appears to work well. I did note that it failed to load the purchases until I had cleared my oauth credentials on the settings file and logged in again, but only for the first time.
Also for the moment, the path to the chrome installation on linux must be:
/usr/bin/google-chrome
So create a soft link to this if you have it somewhere else. I would think some configuration relating to the location of the chrome installation, but perhaps additional browser support would be forthcoming. However for my purposes chrome 38 (dev release) on linux is functioning well.
Ensure you install xdotool if you want to automatically get rid of the mouse cursor, (just as is required for the netflixbmc plugin)
I used code from the netflixbmc authors chrome launcher,
