Hello all,
I cannot tell you how helpful this thread has been to get my Kodi experience back on track. Namely, to view YouTube live streams as strm files. Here's my question. Say I want to watch the Euronews live stream - it's not a static URL, but you can type https://www.youtube.com/user/Euronews/live and get a static URL. This gives the same video as the "normal" URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah04R0okNbQ. Thr problem is that the videoID changes occasionally and unexpectedly, which will eventually render using plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=Ah04R0okNbQ as no good. Is there a way to alter the plugin syntax to direct it to the static URL? The .../user/Euronews/live version? Thanks for any insight in advance.
