Hi All, few of the members mentioned the same problem, live streams they do not seem to work even after downgrading to XBMC 12.0 Frodo. This is particularly for the Indian Premier League 2013 Cricket Matches live on youtube by Indiatimes user. They work perfect on browser. Here I am using XBMCBuntu. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to get the Coachella live streams to play through xbmc and I think I've figured out why it's not working. Youtube has decided to switch it's large audience events from a plain old stream with a one singular url to a more advanced segmented stream to implement their "DVR" functionality. In other words every few seconds of video is treated as a different video file. They're also using some type of redirect to pull the video data from some other server and not directly from youtube, which is why the XBMC Youtube plugin throws out a "Couldn't locate" error.

Hello there! Great plugin here, thanks!
I have a problem though: after successfully downloading 17 music videos (1.64 GB) from YouTube, plugin stopped to download videos — every time I try to download one, it gets stuck on "Preparing download" stage.
I tried:
— unchecking "Use YouTube cache servers" in plugin's settings
— reinstalling the whole plugin (from repository)
But, unfortunately, it did not solve the problem.
Watching videos works fine — I can stream any 1080p video successfully (without any lags); it's specifically the download feature that's broken.
I really hope someone can help me out — there are many more videos I'd like to download :-)
Thanks in advance to all contributors.
System specifications:
— Windows 8
— XBMC 12.0
— YouTube plugin version 4.4.4 (installed from repository)
— xbmc.log: Pastebin | Dropbox
UPDATE: SOLUTION for Windows found! (thanks to KingsCross)
→ Delete commoncache.db file located in
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.common.plugin.cache\
Done! Repeat when problem reappeares.

Hi.
I am wondering if there is a way to display video lengths in the list view mode or any view mode.

Can I possibly disable the search history page? It's annoying having to see that everytime I search.

Read a lot of this thread but still can't get YouTube working again...now can't even reinstall it. I'm on xbmc Eden win 7. Getting dependencies not met upon trying to reinstall but was getting couldn't locate URL previously.
I can't install the .zip fixes that are floating around...won't work. Any ideas?
Thanks!
