Hi everyone,
I've been using YouTube music for quite some time. Since a couple days back, nothing works for me any more. When I try to play anything I get directed to YouTube.com/devicesupport and it just sits there with an incompatibility error. I upgraded from gotham to Kodi 14.1 but same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hey all,
So I've also been stricken with this "device support" issue with youtube music. I followed the info and installed the files onto my device however I am still getting the same device support screen.
I also had a heck of a time figuring out how to transfer the files over to my device in the first place as I'm not that technically savvy (I ended up using system- file manager- Profile Directory - addon_data) ... Hope that is the right place...? Oh and I transferred the downloaded files via a USB thumbdrive plugged into the fire tv.
I am using a Amazon Fire TV running Kodi 14.2. If anyone can provide me some straightforward assistance that'd be great.
Thanks!

OK, I installed this and am confused. I'd like to play my yt playlists via kodi, but when I run the add-on, I get another menu that isn't yt. What am I missing?

In the interests of seeing how this hangs together, I went for a dig in the code.
Everything seems to be okay until we are in the function cache( url, duration )
It enters the else part of the if statement and attempts to call
content = opener.open(url).read()
Where url is ( I added a space to stop this being a link in the forum )
h ttp://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq=ed+sheeran+thinking+out+loud&max-results=1&start-index=1&orderby=relevance&time=all_time&v=2
Looks like that call causes the python script to exit.
I am not that python familiar, so debugging the hard way...
Unless told otherwise, I am assuming this is something I am doing wrong, but any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I did some further digging, spoofing the url sent to opener, and it was good, so it doesn't like the url's getting generated...

Hmmm, is this simply the turning off of youtube API v2?
And now I feel completely stupid. Once I understood the dates the v2 deprecation moved to fully dropped and the line up with the "devicesupport" issue above in this thread, I twigged.
As I was not seeing the "devicesupport" warning I thought this was something different, but now I assume google just turned off more of the v2 responses.
Picking up the temp fix zip from above and its working!
Am I correct in thinking these fixes have not hit the repo?
In the end, I learned a bunch of stuff, how to look at kodi log, where the plugins are, how to edit them, and at least with spam cannon debug get a feel on how it hangs together.
Fortunately it was while looking at the complexity of porting from v2 to v3 I twigged that the device support fix was probably THE fix.
Great stuff, its all an adventure :-)

Hi.
I just wanna say I love this addon.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to play the next song automatically. Would be great!
