I found the problem....and it's little bit strange...I disabled (via code) the thumbnails and (via addon-settings) fanart...no slowing down at all - fast as hell. As soon as I use one of them (fanart or thumbnail) the system gets the hick ups. The CPU is even at full! I Disabled also DDS for images via advanced settings...no difference. My suspicion is the download of the thumbs and fanart...

I estimated the size for 50 entries in a worst case to be ~30MB ((~550kb fanart + ~50kb thumbs) * 50) :/

I try to optimize some things....

I have the exact same issue, it takes about a minute for the thumbnails to be loaded and during this time the system i jerky as hell. It only happens the first time the script is started after a restart of Kodi, thereafter everything is smooth. Funny thing is that i have the exact same issue and symptoms when Youtube thumbnails are loaded with phils extended info script when executed the first time after a restart of Kodi.The issue with that script have been reported by a handful other people but no solution has been found. The root cause might be the same and it makes me wonder if this might not be scrips specific but related to something else?

I'm on windows.

I thought it was normal behavior (sluggish loading of video thumbs in the YouTube add-on when you first start Kodi). I'm running Win7 too. It never bothers me cause everything runs smoothly after that initial hiccup. But I don't remember seeing the same behavior on my Android TV box. (both with 5.0.8) I'll try to verify this and report back.

I just want to follow up on this issue:
1) My Android TV box doesn't have this initial hiccup.
2) After running Windows Updates and installing 95 updates on my Win7 machine, the hiccup completely went away. Everything with Bromix's YouTube Add-on is running lightning fast. I had problems updating Windows for quite some time as it always seemed to hang for a long time without showing any progress so I always ended up manually cancelling the process. Last night I let it run overnight and it took a few good hours to complete. Turns out I just wasn't being patient enough. Not sure what fixed it but if anyone is having the same issue with their Windows machine, try updating everything available for you and see if that fixes the problem.

Edit: It might not have anything to do with Windows updates....Because I also updated the Add-on to 5.0.9 so there are probably some optimizations related this....

Found a lot of posts referencing this script error, but none of the steps listed(that I found anyway) worked.

Normally just use the Youtube addon for Trailers, but whenever I click to view a movie trailer, it throws the error.
The same occurs when I launch the Youtube app and try to load a video.
I added the addons and scripts that bromix had posted, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
Deleted the userdata addons folder

Is this perhaps because I'm running the RC version of Helix?

Not sure if that code from the log helps, this is a fresh Kodi install on a brand new HP Stream Mini, not sure if it's because I installed the RC version (an oversight on my part) or if this is a permissions issue perhaps?

Appreciate any help/suggestions.

Hello.
After the wait is over this time maybe there is luck.
There is a new solution to new subscription videos in the apiv3 migration guide.
Will it be supported ?

Retrieve new subscription videos – The v3 API does not retrieve a list that only contains videos that have recently been uploaded to channels that the API user subscribes to. However, you can use the v3 API to find new subscription videos by calling theactivities.list method and setting the homeparameter value to true.

No...sadly YouTube completely deprecated the function (take a look at their blog - it's official now)
What you are referring to is an activity stream - not only new uploaded videos. This is even worse and was already implemented in one the first alpha versions but wasn't the result a user would expect.

hi guys,

recently i found one issue with this plugin and i have not found anything helpful on the web so i decided to post here. maybe somebody had already solved similar issue.

situation:
- i have two users in kodi 14.2 (openelec 5.0.6) and youtube plugin version 5.0.9
- youtube is working fine for master user, but playback fails with second user - activation worked fine, user logs successfully to youtube account and can browse liked or subscribed videos, only playback is failing
- this is failing in both mi RPi (version 1B+ and also version 2)
- it works fine for both users when running on kodi 14.2 under windows 7


here is the full log: http://pastebin.com/UXXJMMxu

PS: i dont have this menu entry in youtube plugin configuration: "1. Open the plugin and go to "Advanced" in settings, enable "Plugin debug" and confirm."

i have tried to delete youtube configuration from folder userdata/profiles/<id>/addon_data
i have tried to copy this folder from windows machine where it works
i have also tried fresh installation and reactivation

since its working under windows it might be related to openelec

did anybody encountered this kind of issue? or can anybody help me with finding the rootcause?

thanks,
zavisko

Well... at least for me and if possible besides not perfect, the only option given will be better than nothing.

Don't be worried I try to find a solution so we get the 'new subscription' result and if it means to use the new activities method
