Dear YouTube users,

Many of us here take the time to provide support in this thread, from basic to advanced questions, some of which can easily be answered and some not, and some which are out of our control due to the google api.

However if you have what you think is a serious and/or fundamental problem, please think logically and consider that if it is a real problem there will often be many other posts discussing the same subject already.

So I think it goes without saying that it would be appreciated by everyone if you please try searching this thread first, and/or at least read the most recent pages to see if your issue is a common one and already discussed.

Providing development and support for addons really takes a lot of personal time and effort (not only for YouTube but for all addons), and I kindly ask that each user helps to reduce the burden by using common sense, logic, as well as your own time and effort (rather than expecting to be spoon fed), and in all cases that you continue to remain polite and respectful.

THANK YOU Smile Nod

PS: I would like to add a further thank you here to the users who recently jumped in to help with code for the Watched Later problem, your assistance is much appreciate guys (and girls Wink )

I would like to apologize if my question came off as redundant. I realize how much time and effort it takes to provide support for the many of us that use this add-on. What I didn't fully understand is that currently there is no way to call a watch history list since the changes have been made to the API. I apologize for any inconvenience my repetitive question may have caused

Thanks for your reply jmh!
Unfortunately I can't use the method you proposed because I use the History to watch on Kodi videos that I previously started on my PC, so I don't need a list of local watched items on Kodi.
For now I partially resolved the problem with the "Send to XBMC" (works with Kodi too) add-on for Firefox, that allows to send the video stream from YouTube to playback on Kodi.
Anyway, I still prefer the History in the official plugin. Do you think it can be fixed anytime soon or it's gone forever?

Unfortunately the google api is preventing access to history at the moment.

Also as I mentioned here (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2418500):
"as far as history is concerned this has been a problem for a long time as it does not sync correctly (api problem again I believe - there was no 2 way sync, we were only seeing web history in the Kodi addon)."

Hence my suggestion to use Last Played to create a local history.

In addition although it is a work around rather than a solution I will requote my post from here where I basically suggest that you play all YouTube videos via Kodi (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2420738).

I note that you use the same extension on Firefox, so, basically dont watch videos on the web with your PC, watch them on Kodi with your PC Wink

I do this often because I tend to multitask, so I play the video on an alternate screen/device close to me (sometimes while continuing to browse/search on YouTube with the PC)

PS: If you have the Kore remote installed on your Android device you will also be able "Play to Kodi" from the YouTube mobile app.

Hope this helps Smile Cool

Thank you very much
Would you happen to know where I can find my playlist ID if I were to create a playlist? I already have my personal API keys, I'm just not too familiar with the YouTube API

Oh, ok... I see. So if the problem is in the API I guess there is nothing we can do to make History work again. Do you think they will allow access to history again in the future or it is more likely a definitive decision?
For my needs also only seeing the web history in Kodi (no 2 way sync) would be more than enough. Wink

I probably forgot to mention that I don't use Kodi on my PC, but it is installed on a HTPC (with OpenELEC) in a different room. That's why I used to start watching a video on YouTube with my PC and then, if it's a long or particularly interesting one, I moved to the other room to continue watching it with Kodi on TV bigger screen. As I said the Firefox extension is a fair work around to obtain that result, but I still think the History in the YT add-on was more practical, as I could also watch several videos I started before without having to send them to Kodi one by one.

Thanks again!

How exactly would I know what Google will decide to do with their API? I don't have a direct line to Google HQ...
(I think I mentioned in previous posts about using logic and trying to reduce the burden on support here...)

To be honest these type of continued questions start to become frustrating, and simply fill up the forum with clutter for no reason.

I'm sorry but your question and issue has been answered clearly several times. For the moment your options are to use the alternatives suggested, or do without any history at all.

In your case, install Kodi on your PC, install the Last Played addon, and share the list on your home network.
Use the 'send to XBMC' extension to browse YouTube on Firefox if that is easier, but still watch the videos on Kodi on your PC.
I would also suggest mySQL too if you have multiple devices.

Problem solved.

Just an FYI, it looks like inputstream isn't available on OSX/macOS.

Didn't get it to work on LibreElec either.

I haven't heard anything, you can grab it from the kolifanes repo and install it.

https://github.com/Kolifanes/plugin.vide...4-BETA.zip

Code:
https://github.com/Kolifanes/plugin.video.youtube/releases/download/5.2.24-BETA/plugin.video.youtube-5.2.24-BETA.zip

It's not linked anywhere, so it's not 100% supported i don't think. Since i'm not an active member for this team anymore. I can only help where i can.

another thing, back up your settings.
i don't know your OS directory or kodi directory off hand so that is something you need to find.

Code:
OS/KODI-DIR/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube

OSX/macOS is ~/Library/Application Support/Kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube

Thanks and I hope this helps..
Jeff

Well apparently i'm slow at catching things. I named the zip file with the wrong version number. I fixed it. This doesn't really matter to the people whom already have it. It's basically to clear up any confusion.

Sorry about that.

I am having issues with sorting a YouTube playlist. No matter where i put "&order=default" i get a pop up with 3 option to sort the playlist by "Default" "Reverse" and "Shuffle". What am i doing wrong here i just want the playlist to play in default order when i click the link. Thanks in advance for help

<item>
<title>YOUTUBE-PLAYLIST-SORT</title>
<link>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?playlist_id=PLI_lHTrF6611fA95eAPvQZR9tAI7A89PV&order=default</link>
</item>

The manual way I do it is placing the code in an .strm file.
Code:
#EXTINF:0,YOUTUBE-PLAYLIST-SORT
plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?playlist_id=PLI_lHTrF6611fA95eAPvQZR9tAI7A89PV&order=default
That works and you don't get the popup. The only thing I haven't figured out is why it doesn't play the first video in the playlist, it jumps to the second one. Even adding the '&video_id=' line in, it still misses the first video in the playlist. Anyone reading this know why and/or a fix?

I've installed and used this beautiful plugin for months.
Now I'm having a problem.
I can see all folders (My Subscription, My Playlist, Raccomended,..) but WATCH LATER and HISTORY folder.
If I click them they are always empty.

Do you know why? Thanks

EDIT
I've found this answer
"In short Google have removed access to the Watch Later & History list's from there API, These things are now only available via there website & official app's."

So no solution till now?
