Hi bromix.
Now YouTube (ALPHA 18) not starting with "script error":

Maybe it is because сyrillic characters in the file path (directory username). It is hoped that in the future it will get better?
PS Win8.1, Kodi Alpha 3.

Yes you're right. Something with cyrillic characters. Another example why I'm focusing on the framework. The unicode support in Python 2.7 is hell and at some point you will always have something wrong (from the encoding to the decoding). I try to fix this issue as soon as possible.

Only for the moment...I will continue shortly, but first I had to test my own framework for further addon-dev. (already implemented in 7TV or netzkino.de in my repository).
YouTube was growing so much that I needed something first to help me maintain the addon. Especially testing the implementation without debugging xbmc logs and test via pydev out of a running xbmc. That took to much time. With the framework development is much simpler for me. So please b patient

Also I'm playing with the idea to try vimeo and soundcloud after that

Hi bromix,

i noticed you already started developing the soundcloud addon yesterday. Before starting with new addons, it would make sense to finish the youtube addon first.

There is still so much missing / not working. Most important things for me:

- Fix login
- Fix vevo playback
- Fix live playback
- Fix next page
- Add cc/subtitle support
- Add missing context menus
- Improve design

Thanks for your thoughts. I started SoundCloud to test the framework even more and to get some distends to YouTube for some thoughts (not to stop development ). I got so much input the last month for YouTube, that I have to make some kind of project planning.
The framework is a result out of the development of YouTube. YouTube is a not so small project and I needed help in form of a framework to support the development of it.

I will continue the YouTube addon, but for now please be patient
