Hi

I am getting a 'Script Failed' error when launching the YouTube app on Kodi 14.1 Helix running the standard skin (also tried with Aeon Nox, same error). I don't think it was skin related though, but I've tried anyway.

My pastebin is: http://pastebin.com/YmmteaAy

I get the error when launching the app or when I want to start a trailer from the Movie section info page.

I already tried reinstalling Kodi with all new settings but that didn't help.

What am I doing wrong..?

Thanks for the info...it's the same issue

Looking at the link, it states Resolved. What should I do to resolve it? Look up the files and change the highlighted lines in those files?

No either you wait for v5.0.7 (final) or you test the v5.0.7~betaX via my repository.

Also this will need a service to run all the time, because we need an opened connection/port (UPD mostly) to receive the commands from the server - which will more likely result in a separate addon

This makes sense, but - speaking of me - when I want to watch a video on Youtube, the addon is already open. So the "listening serivce" has to be running only if the addon is in foreground and it is paired with a device.

Technically not possible. Addons (not scripts or services) are only triggered to execute something (mostly one step). This isn't enough to start a service. A service is always running otherwise it isn't a service. The function behind the paring of YouTube is completely different to MTV and NEEDS A PERMANENT CONNECTION TO THE YOUTUBE/GOOGLE SERVER!
Every command you send from your device will run first through the YouTube/Google Server before reaching your HTPC.

I would prefer in your case Yatse....everything else isn't worth the time and effort. The protocol isn't that simple and undocumented, because it's for hardware-manufactures, we only can reverse engineer the protocol - and that's too much to handle.

All right, thank you for clarifying this. Didn't know the concept behind Youtube remote feature and addons/services/scripts regarding Kodi, so I didn't know what's possible and what's not

Hey bromix - cheers for the awesome addon and for keeping Youtube alive within XBMC.

I only have two issues which would be great if you could answer...

1. The old youtube plugin did not have an issue with region locked content... so alot of the music videos I watch (I'm in the UK) return the "This is not available in your country" flag whereas the old plugin didn't do that. Is there any way around that without using a DNS/VPN service?

2. Every time I do a search within Youtube - the search always returns in a list format by default even though I am using the Confluence default skin. All other pages default to thumbnail - just every new search within the plugin gives the list view back by default. Have you come accross it before and is there any way to sort it?

Cheers!

When playing some videos I get the error message that this content is unavailable on this device, mostly vevo content,I assume because it knows I'm not in a normal browser. Any work around for this?

Normally this shouldn't happen. Can you give me an example...maybe a debug log (wiki) maybe I can see something. The other solution would be a proxy.

The setting for overriding the view is happening here The search result is set to content-type=episodes and the mechanism will set the view you defined for episodes (list). If you wan't another view you have to disable the setting in the addon-settings.

Update
Okay...this seems to be the issue of old saved view modes for each folder (before the override). I cleaned everything so no stored view mode exists....now it's working.

50 videos limit in My Subscriptions list is to small for me. Is it possible to enlarge it, to 100, or more?

Thank you for great addon!

Edit : Correction

[bromix]

50 videos limit in My Subscriptions list is to small for me. Is it possible to enlarge it, to 100, or more?

Thank you for great addon!

At the moment not...that's a limitation of the APIv2. I hope Google will provide something similar till may 2015 for APIv3 to overcome the limitation of 50 videos.

Hi, here is the French translation update

...

Thanks...will be available in v5.0.7

[Nailzy]

2. Every time I do a search within Youtube - the search always returns in a list format by default even though I am using the Confluence default skin. All other pages default to thumbnail - just every new search within the plugin gives the list view back by default. Have you come accross it before and is there any way to sort it?

Cheers!

Ahh...now I see the issue...mhmm...

Update
Okay...this seems to be the issue of old saved view modes for each folder (before the override). I cleaned everything so no stored view mode exists....now it's working.

Thanks for taking the time to look into my issues - much appreciated. I'm running 5.0.7 beta3 and the searches are still defaulting to list view as before. Previous searches all go to thumbnails (as I always change it after a search to look at them)

Any ideas if it's an issue my side or something? I'm on a standard Kodi install with confluence as my only skin

Also regarding the region issue - next video that throws me the flag - I'll grab you the debug log.

Again many thanks for your time!

**UPDATE**

I reinstalled the plugin (actually renamed the Kodi folder in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming and reinstalled the plugin) and got prompted to execute the setup wizard which I'd never had before (I adopted the plugin very early on) - ran the wizard and made my choices - still the same issue. In my override view options - both were set to 500 after executing the setup wizard

I've been getting restricted content errors from all of Pixel Dan Eardleys videos and the Youtube Beta addon lately such as with this one: http://youtu.be/Hp0gI8KJw20
