YoutubeLibrary 0.9.9.1

Youtube Library now has its own site: YoutubeLibrary.nl.
Check it out! You can get pre-configured playlists there! Donors can even load those pre-configured playlists within the addon!

What does it do?
Youtube Library is an addon that allows you to add Youtube Channels / Playlists to your Kodi Library as if it were TV Shows / Music Videos or Movies! For a clearer picture, you can watch the video below. If you're really impatient, the endresult is at 1:38.

Demonstration / How to use
Download Youtube Library and in Kodi go to: System -> Addons -> Install from zip to enable the repository. Then you can choose "Install from repository" and Youtube Library will auto-update from now on!
