How is that if I search "youtube" in all forums and all prefix I do not see this topic? I know about it only because someone mention it on default youtube page. I think it was Peppe_sr (Thank you). I think many people do not know about this addon and can't find it through search. Could you check it out. Seems to me default youtube slow down with update...

I would ask you to not do that It's not really allowed to promote an addon in this way. At the moment it is still fine as it is.
But thanks anyway

2-Step-Verification is a pain in the a**** and not part of the normal API (Google Data), because you should use oauth.

Does this plugin support oauth? If yes, how?

Tried to copy the oauth settings from the other youtube plugin

Code:

<setting id="oauth2_access_token" value="*" />
    <setting id="oauth2_expires_at" value="*" />
    <setting id="oauth2_refresh_token" value="*" />

That resulted in scripted failed, not really surprised
Also tried to copy the values from oauth2_access_token into kodion.access_token and oauth2_expires_at into kodion.access_token.expires, which gave the same failed result.

No...for now it won't. I use the (google call it) 'Client Login' based on their documentations it is deprecated. But they use it for all their apps (on mobile) also I will try to implement the Google TV login...this one allows you to select an account (if you have 2 or more YouTube channels) - with this you have to enter an 8 digit code in the web browser (once) and you get you access token (in the background).

Update - ALPHA 22

alpha 22

• ADD: sorting
  
• FIX: Vevo signature calculation
  
• FIX: crash in 'My subscriptions'
  

[Raitsa]

18 autoupdated to 20 but did not work for me at all (OpenElec 4.2.1 & Celeron NUC).

After rebooting it did not work either, I was able to type in different searches but no results show up, just an error.

Time to get some sleep and tomorrow hopefully time for some logs.

With a very quick test 22 seems amazingly good.

Not sure if the sort by date option is working, it seems to only sort by year?

[389abc]

Alpha 22 all working again. Thank you Bromix.

[supergroover]

Thanks, it's working great..

[peppe_sr]

super, also other non vevo video that were broken are on again.

Addon works great.
Please add 'Browse channels' like on Youtube for new channels you aren't subscribed too.

Taylor works now on v.22.

alpha 22

• ADD: sorting
  
• FIX: Vevo signature calculation
  
• FIX: crash in 'My subscriptions'
  

First of all, thank you for looking into and trying to fix my issue with 'My Subscriptions', although it seems to work perfectly fine for everyone else
Unfortunately I did get the exact same JSONDecodeError with v22 (fresh install).
Being desperate, I even installed the Kodi helix beta 5 and installed the plugin on this completely vanilla version with somewhat the same result...
The error message changed slightly, however I suppose it does mean pretty much the same: the request seems to return an empty JSON or the JSON gets corrupted during decoding

Full debug log

When I perform the request directly in my browser ( https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/user...results=25 ) I do get a valid JSON with all the most recent uploads as response?!

Any help would be appreciated!
Is there any way for me to further analyse the API requests/responses?

Will this addon handle paid content from YouTube?

Will this addon handle paid content from YouTube?

I don't know yet. How can I test this? Is this feature available in Germany?

Hi,

Since paid videos stopped working recently in the other youtube plugin, I decided to give this one a try, but as soon as I try to open the plugin I get a "Login failed" message.

I do not have 2-step authentication enabled in my account, and the other plugin can use the account (I just forced it to relogin to check). This is all that appears in the log file when I open the plugin:

Code:

Not sure if it's available in Germany, and I personally don't use this feature. I was just wondering if it was something that would be possible, both out of curiosity, but also because people I know do use it and I maintain their HTPCs for them.

Also, your English is quite good, but I would be happy to respond in German if it would help. I studied German for many years and lived there for several years when I was in the service.
