hi all,
I am new to xbmc forum etc. so sorry if this was covered somewhere else. I have a problem with the youtube plugin. I have managed to install it however got a problem with using it. Although the music works and all fine that the movie section is not.
I haven't got a problems with the log in - all worked smoothly etc however each time I try to play anything from movie section it does throw some errors. Sometimes it is script error and sometimes it just says playing failed false.
I have uninstalled and re-installed again however no luck... still the same problem. All on Ipad2 & xbmc eden 11.0.
Any ideas what this could be?
Youtube isn't the first plugin this is happening - I have the same problem with Live TV and ESPN for example. (I am UK based @the moment).
Thanks

Hi there!
Any news on the search failure?
I hope someone found a solution for this nasty bug.

The openELEC search failure is not openELEC specific.
I've hit it the first time over 12 months ago.
This is purely an XBMC issue, has nothing to do with the YouTube plugin(iPlayer also hits this, for instance).
If we are very very lucky there will be a fix in XBMC master next week.(I wouldn't count on it, i've waited for a fix for over a year).
If/when that fix is made, it will require an update of XBMC/openELEC to fix the issue.
Sorry
Yeah, you can't really back those up. They are technically stored in the ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database/commoncache.db file. But that file is considered very volatile.
It's just an sqlite db, so you should be able to poke around and extract if you want.
1) Hm, forgot to add that to settings. You will be able to hide that in later versions!
2) Not implemented, and won't be
Try changing your youtube add-on settings (Turn cache server on/off, change quality from SD to 720p, or from 1080p to 720p).
If it still fails, i'll need a debug log.

I asked for this couple of months ago here, but did not get any responce. And now I have lost the watched status from the videos again and it's basically rendering the Youtube plugin useless for me.

Qs about youtube subscriptions channel thumbnail !
For xbmc 11 eden, Win7
subscriptions channel thumbnail come from the very first time you load the channel (it use the latest video thumbnail at the time you load the Channel, then it will stay there forever)
What If I don't like the thumbnail the addon use for my subscriptions channel, how can I clear the cache for that subscriptions channel ONLY and have it pull the newest video and use for the thumbnail ?
Thanks

No easy way to do that.
Personally i'd just live with it. Or remove all thumbnails.

If I know where the location xbmc youtub addon store all the subscriptions channel thumbnail, maybe I can replace the thumbnail to something I want (keep the same thumbnail file name) , but so far , I still can find it . Does anyone know the exact location ?
2012-07-27, 02:59
Youtube does not store it. XBMC stores it.
The exact location is:
.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/
and
.xbmc/userdata/Database/Textures13.db <- might be a different number, i dunno.

Oh no - one of my PCs was logged out and when i tried logging in again i had a very weird/new "status 200 new url" error message! Is this the new login failure issue that is popping up due to Youtube's new layout?
