Thanks again.

You're on 5.0.4...in v5.0.5~beta5 this is fixed.

I have added your repository to my Kodi installation and the new beta fixed it. Thanks bromix!

Hey bromix, hope you are well.

I have a simple question or a feature request for an addon I'm developing. I want to import the youtube addon in addon.xml and be able to pass it a url (a channel id/name) and receive a list of videos (thumb, video url/id, thumb, plot). I can parse it on my addon (for instance: https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/play...+%27&v=2.1) but it would be nicer to just extend the sys.path to youtube addon and call it. So I could list videos on my addon and call yours either to retrieve the videos (plugin://plugin.video.youtube is fine) and/or for playback.

Is it already possible or can it be implemented? It would save code on my side, and also be better since they are always changing the api

cheers

Ok. Problem solved by restart the adapter many thanks.

First page of this thread => Endpoints/External calls => Show the content of a channel

Would this help? It will show directly the content of channel (by id or username).

I have to dig into the code but I doubt that is what i am looking for. By using this path i'll call your addon and that will activate the video list view of the youtube addon. So basically, i guess your plugin will create and add the listitems.
I am building the gui myself so i want to list the videos in my custom window and then call youtube. I dont know if you have this function build into two parts : getting the info from the api and adding the items to the interface, but the one I am looking for is the first only. So:

1-my plugin calls yours to get the video list (python list or python dict for instance)

2- my plugin adds the videos to my window as listitems

3-my plugin calls yours for playback

Mhmm...sorry no the addon is only for video (+content) otherwise I would have implemented a script.module for YouTube to provide only a wrapper for the API.

Mind pointing me to this function on the source code of your plugin?

only the shuffle doesnt work now :
log = http://pastebin.com/QcDvDNvf
always play the same order , doesnot matter if i choose Shuffle on popup or directly "&order=shuffle"

Jiks....I tested some playlists and you're right. The implementation of the shuffle option for playlists is quite weak it seams that the implementation isn't using some kind of Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator (we use at work). The sequence is repeating after creating a new playlist, the shuffling is almost the same after observing it a bit I shuffle the list by my self.
...and yes, I unshuffled in my test the playlist...and the result is the same

Sure
https://github.com/bromix/plugin.video.y...youtube.py

This implements part of the APIv3 of YouTube -> API Reference

Hey bromix,
First of all, thanks for your work on this fantastic plugin. Staying on top of my subscriptions was never more convenient.

Sadly I haven't been able to use it the last few days - at least not on the main mediacenter (no problems on the windows-based one). From what I can tell from the included logfile, youtube doesn't want to talk to me, and given that no one else seems to experience this, the problem is likely on my system. I've tried deleting its folder under userdata/addon_data and reinstalling, but that didn''t change anything. I'm hoping you might have some idea of what's gone wrong.

I'm not sure if the problem appeared with 5.0.5-beta3 or beta4 or if it's even related, but I know for certain it was working with beta2.

Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but I would love to see an option to clear search history.

Done should work with the next beta (and hopefully with 5.0.5)

WOW! You're the first with python 2.7.9!?!?!? In this version urllib2 verifies certificates (every https connection - DAMN YOU PYTHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!) I try some thing for the beta6 - I hope this will help you Please give me feedback as soon as you can test beta6

Absolutely!
Keeping a system updated, I guess, does not always work in your favor.

NO the fragmentation of python versions in XBMC/KODI is pain in the a** . I have Python 2.6.* to 2.7.9 now

[bromix]

v5.0.5~beta6 UP!

I hope the problem with python 2.7.9 is gone
