Is this addon is allowed by youtube?
It's surely ads free so far
I am only wondering if it's legal to be used?

From TechAdviser....maybe this will answer your question.
Is it legal to download YouTube videos?
Is this addon is allowed by youtube? - maybe not, because it's not officially from YouTube
It's surely ads free so far - that they can't forbid, for example you can use adblock, disconnect or ghostery.
I am only wondering if it's legal to be used? - This I can't answer, because I don't know what is legal anymore. Technically streaming is downloading, so why make a difference. We don't hack anything here.

bromix,
Thanks a ton for this add-on. Works great. I'd forgotten how cool it can be to have a functional YouTube add-on on my HTPC. I've updated my YouTube channel subscriptions and have tons of great content right at my finger tips.
Seriously, thank you for the time you put into this. You rock.

This addon uses an API published by youtube so that their videos can be watched. Hard to see them objecting to someone using their published API for it's intended use. But I have not read the T&C. Is there something specific in there that you are pointing to @finalmakerr?

If you read it close enough, you are breaking the law. That's just how these things work these days. Can't tell you how many things to the effect of "we reserve to right to change the rules so that we are right no matter what, and you give up your rights, no matter what they may be" I've seen.

Because someone smart realized that sharing is a good thing. Just saying, everyone is scrambling to cover their own asses.

Is there a way to turn on annotations or subtitles?
2015-02-12, 21:21
Does turning subtitles on n the normal way not work? Can you give an example of a subtitled youtube stream to test?
2015-02-13, 02:03
Nope. I remember it working in the old Youtube plugin, but I can't get it to work with this one.
Here's an example. It has multiple subs to select from, but the plugin doesn't seem to see them.

annotations -> No (not possible because of API).
subtitles -> Planed but not implemented yet.

How do you figure? From what I can tell (from reading the terms, you *might* be breaking the law if you're in Califorina, or possibly the USA). Outside of that, you're not breaking the law, as it's a civil agreement, if it's a binding contract at all (which I don't think it is, seeing as Californian law, mostly, is not enforceable in the rest of the world (and in most parts of the rest of the world, a civil contract isn't "the law" anyway)).
You *might* be contravening the terms of the agreement, but that isn't the law and the worst they could do, assuming they could challenge you in your local/national legal durisdiction, would be to aledge civil damages (something that would be hard, seeing as they offer up the API for the use as far I can tell, it's being used for here and they would have to show you actually cost them fiscal damage (at least, in the EU and similar legal durisdictions)).
Can can't see a clause in the terms that Bromix is contravening, so I suspect it's a moot point anyway.
Thanks once again for the plugin Bromix, my error messages I was getting on 5.0.0 are gone on 5.0.6 beta6
on Gotham.

Hello everyone,
I’m living in China and need a proxy to connect to Youtube. I then installed shadowsocks on my Kodibuntu, but although all the scrapers are going well through the proxy, the Youtube addon seems to completely bypass it.
As I couldn’t find any settings in the addon to go through any specific proxy, I’d assume it should be using Kodi’s proxy, right?
Am I missing anything or is this a potentiel bug?
I’d be grateful for any help, thanks!

Hey guys, I'm having issues trying to play stuff from Viewster ( https://www.youtube.com/user/ViewsterTV )
If i record correctly the old addon also had issues.
This is what the log says when trying to play Blind fist of Bruce ( video_id=ZCBlKMZLxZA ) and Bruce Lee in New Guinea ( video_id=xq2aaB_Awno ) ( found in the kung fu playlist -> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...s2aBEYoIZk ) :
Some other movies, like The Superheroe ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KscJuyG...94&index=1 ) do seem to work.
