I have a question: I'm making widgets using the plugin.video.youtube add-on.
The first three items are always Channels", "Playlists" and "Live". I never need these folders and preferably would like to hide them.
I found an old thread which details you can 'hidefolders=true', I tried manually writing in the skin source, but I couldn't get that to work.
Long question short: how to hide Channels", "Playlists", "Live" from my widgets.
Thank you!

Feature request:
When playing YouTube content the volume is significantly louder than other content in Kodi. It would be great if there were a user setting like so:
Input volume absorber: -1db - -6db

Just to let you know, The Youtube addon 7.0.1 when attached to Pseudo TV Live, constantly throws errors, Content Not Available trying to access playlists, If the channel is in Kodi, and you select it, Content not available error, however select the same thing 3 or 4 times and it plays. 7.0.1 just fails, 6.85.x works with less issues, but still has problems. Don't know if this problem is with its intergration with PSEudo TV Live or the add on itself.

Just started getting the dreaded "The following content is not available on this app." message with any attempt to play any video on any of my Kodi installations (FireTV, Windows 10, etc.). It was working fine earlier today. I tried logging out and back in, and also modding "video_info.py" as suggested a while back, but nothing helps. Is this happening to anyone else?
I remember I saw this maybe a year ago and it fixed itself after a few days, but I'm really hoping for a quicker fix this time.
UPDATE: Working again this morning after about 12 hours.
UPDATE 2: ...and... it's happening again.

PseudoTV Live requires duration/runtime information to generate the EPG. It looks like the error is with the youtube plugin while retrieving duration meta.
Code:

Every so often my Test and Unofficial repos for this addon are suddenly empty. For instance I currently have the 2.0.2+matrix.1 Unofficial repo and the 2.0.4+matrix.1 Official and Unofficial Test repos installed but when I try to install anything from them they are completely empty. I'm running Kodi 19.5 on multiple devices (Fire TV, Windows 10, etc.) and I'm encountering the same thing on all.
I always have trouble finding the unofficial and test repos online. Does anyone have a link for the most recent ones that work?

6.8.26.Alpha2 (Matrix) and 7.0.2.Alpha4 (Nexus) were released today but they did not work for me.

Installed 7.0.2a4 on latest Nexus. The good news: The previous error is gone. The bad news: The connection to YT is so slow now that "Buffering" happens all time, basically making any video unwatchable. Also, the cache is not filled in the background when video is paused.

Yup, seeing the same on my Onn box with 7.0.2a4, works but video at a snails pace, hopefully issue can get resolved soon.
