I really hope someone can help me get this working under Windows 8

All I know is this addon doesn't work using the latest clean install of Kodi for Windows and Python runtime for for Windows.

EDIT: I'm not even sure if I needed to install python for Windows. I only did it after, this Kodi addon didn't work after installing it via Kodi; and, select the download location.


Nothing happens when I select, "Download Currently Playing Video". Also, under Advanced settings, View youtube-dl core info just results in an error: Script failed! youtube-dl Control.

Below, is a full debug log after I select to download the currently playing video. So, what's the trick to get this to work? It would be great to get it to work automatically for novices like me.

PHP Code:

Looks like there is a bug in the 'Download Currently Playing Video' option. I'll fix it as soon as I get a chance.
