If I add youtube.com to script and view in there, then there is sound and every other website works fine. can some1 help me out to get sound to youtube leanback mode?
If I remove asound.conf then video will start but whit no sound.
The problem seems to be in asound.conf but I dont know, because in other webistes eg. Vimeo couchmode there is sound and all the other sites. only yt leanback does not work, just keeps loading..

I'm having nearly the same exact problem and I believe it's somehow related to a combination of sound and the
leanback mode of youtube.
running kodibuntu 14.04 with Jarvis 16.0 and google-chrome (not chromium)
* opening chrome launcher to vimeo couchmode works
* opening chrome launcher to
normal youtube works
* opening chrome launcher to youtube/leanback results in navigation sounds, but when I select a video, it acts as if its buffering permanently. If I turn gui sounds on in system->settings->audio, then youtube/leanback mode makes no navigation sounds but videos play (without sound)
* when I log out of kodi and login to the lubuntu session, running the exact same chrome binary handles both
normal youtube and youtube/leanback just fine (with sound).
What's so special about leanback mode that would cause this behavior?
in kodi.log I'm seeing a message like this for most websites I try opening
Code:
ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.program.chrome.launcher/?kiosk=yes&mode=showSite&stopPlayback=yes&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fleanback
ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.program.chrome.launcher/?kiosk=yes&mode=showSite&stopPlayback=yes&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fleanback) failed
This likely explains why I have to turn gui sounds
off inside settings -> audio to get sound within chrome launcher. This is in addition to turning off "keep audio device alive".
Any suggestions on the errors in the log? If those can be resolved so that
stopPlayback=yes takes effect, gui sounds should not have to be turned off globally via settings.
thanks
