Ok, This is what I am reading and please correct me if I am wrong or mistaken.

So looking beyond the few small changes to the current version, are folks signing up for the dev and support for the rather large and technical changes that will come in Kodi V17 with this new repo?

I think this group is taking on the challenge of support and maintaining the plugin, of course i really can only speak for myself, so I am ready to give it a shot, or at least try and help out where I can.

This comment tends to make me think that there's not a full understanding of what's going on here. I think anyone who contributes to plugin-repo would understand my concern. The YT 3.0 API is a flawed API and IMHO will continue to have problems, at least with the approaches to fixes that I've seen to date. Kodi V17 is going to open a world of potential opportunity for the YT add-on as well as several other services like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu. Folks need to understand that they need to be committed to that long term, as well as these short term issues.

I think that the group idea is great, but people who get involved need understand that the current issues are minor compared to the real work that needs to be done in the not too distant future.

Honestly i'd rather give it a go then just not try and let kodi's youtube just sit in the wind and nothing happen.I'll need to take time and learn the new stuff from kodi 17 to make youtube more workable with the current plugin, please point me to the right direction. When i'm not doing my RL job i'll do what I can, i just want to help.

The idea of the group is perfect. I don't know the # of users this plugin has but i'd gather it's a lot.

I'd definitely would be willing to work on the plugin and help out. I hope this works with everyone, i know it's better to have someone who can do it already but i think with the people we have already we can hopefully pick up the baton so to speak.

Thanks
Jeff
