@Grarea, you need to figure it out. It's a bit different to make an API key, because google changed a bit the procedure, but if you insist, you will succed eventually. Or search for a newer tutorial on youtube.

For me  it's not working even with Age Gate=OFF. I'm using Alpha 4.

So its not only me, alpha 4 is broken in that regard, im sticking to alpha 1 untill this is resolved

Hi there,
i'm using youtube in combination with newpipe and kore to stream from my smartphone and everything worked fine until i reinstalled libreelec a few days ago on my rasp.4
Now i cant get it to work properly, all i get (in every resolution) are a few seconds from the video and then it starts stuttering and finally stops. When i try audio only in the options it works fine.
Refresh rate is on start/stop and i tried like a billion settings changes in youtube, libreelec, input streamer or even on my smartphone.

Maybe someone has an idea. Thank you

Same slowdown for me (using only official Youtube plugin from KODI repository and MPEG-DASH on Coreelec machine). Tested on Coreelec 9.2.8 and on Windows 10 with KODI 19.2. Dunno how it is long, but few weeks ago it was fine. My internet connection is 500 Mbps and I am on cable. Another streaming services in KODI works fine in 4k.

Alpha4 mentioned in this thread fixed my problem. Now everything works great.

ok, thanks.
I don't understand what I am doing, so I shall look for a newer tutorial.

I assume you mean that the one the add on tells you to go to is out of date.
Thanks

Alpha 5 containing a further fix to Subtitles (which were broken in Alpha 3 & 4) has gone up on GitHub and is also available from the Test Repo:

I can confirm that this video still does not seem to play on Alpha 5.

Did you report it as an issue on GitHub? I didn't see it in the list here: https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.vide...ube/issues

When I gave that advice it was several days ago and Alpha 5 didn't exist Further work and fixes keep getting made so new updates are issued. In due course a full release (meaning non Alpha or Beta) will be released with all these fixes too.

So you can use Alpha 3, 4, or 5 now - all will fix buffering issues, but Alpha 5 fixes subtitles not working in 3 and 4 too

Hi all! i have a raspberry pi with kodi 17 with youtube addon 6.8.17 but i don't have a smooth view of youtube and i would like to update 6.8.18 alpha version but i'm not sure whichone to apply. I know that matrix file is for kodi 19 so i discard this version. But still pending 2 files, one unofficial and the other one only alpha for version 6.8.18.

Which one should i apply??

Thank you!

[jmh2002]

Naturally you should choose the Matrix Repos for Kodi v19 Matrix installations, and Not the Matrix Repos for older setups.

To confirm, there is no functional difference as far as playback of videos is concerned between the Official and UnOfficial versions.

The only difference is that the UnOfficial version includes an option to set the Kodi 'View Type' automatically for your skin (eg: List, Media Info, Thumbnail, etc).

Hope this helps

Usual stuttering/buffering issue on fully updated Vero 4K with 6.8.17+matrix.1

Dropped alpha 5 on, had some confusion on my part with the 2 device authentications (I'm old enough that my grandkids should be programming my VCR for me) but all appears to work fine after.

No extensive testing but if I see issues I'll post a log.

Thank you to devs and all who assist!
