I think that may end up being a problem over time, so I may just switch back to individual YouTube apps. There is of course enen92's one for KordKutters, and I've made a personal fork of that which works fine for Bilge Tank too. Will have a play with it though, as I do like the concept of your add-on a lot, and it would be a nicer way to do this more widely rather than having to brew up forks for each channel (not that this is particularly difficult to do with how well enen92 wrote his code).
The empty directory was just a curiosity as to why it may be there but empty. I'm sure I could live with it (or let it die, to stay with McCartney).
Anyway I'll have some more playing with the add-on, and if I can't get it to work will gather the debug log etc.
You are really comparing oranges to apples I think I should clear something up:
This addon is NOT meant to replace the 'normal' Youtube Apps. If you just want to browse Youtube, there are other addons for that.
This addon is made specifically for adding certain Youtube videos to your Kodi tv show / music video / movies library with metadata.
The end result couldn't be more different.
The problem of oldest -> newest shouldn't come up much tho, and if it does, I really can't do much about it. Only if you want to add specific (nicely sorted) playlists the channel creator was to lazy to also have a newest -> oldest copy. Most of the times you can just use the uploads playlist with clever use of filters.
In your case I would just use the uploads playlist from Kordkutters, and if you only want talks just filter on "include only: episode" or something.
So, in your case:
a) Convince Google to give an sort-by-date option for the API
b) Ask the channel creator to create a copy of the playlist and check "sort by newest" (its like, really 3 clicks for them)
c) Use another playlist of the channel sorted right and if needed use filters
d) Lose library functionality and just use a YT addon to browse YT (channels / playlists)
And yes, I would expect forking the addon of enen92 would only take 1 line of code to adjust to run it at a different channel. Why not expand the functionality so you can just put more than 1 channel in that 1 addon
? Seems like a lot of work forking an addon for each channel.
