is there a known issue with live streams, independent of dash?
When i try to play YouTube live streams, no matter the quality, it takes about 10 seconds to load up, plays for 1 sec and then dies.

You can setup your max bandwith in the inputstream addon settings. Then it will always play 720p, no need to select manually anymore

Is there a way to have it go directly into a specific folder at startup?
Most of the time I go into My Subscriptions so it would be nice if I could set that as default.
If you find any spelling mistakes you can keep them ;)

Edit Reason: Solution (for me) found in post #63
)
Until 2 days ago I was able to use the YouTube addon's "Live" feature to view live events of all kinds. I could even search for a list of specific live events and then select from the resulting list.
But beginning 2 days ago I can no longer view live streams on YouTube. A selected stream will begin for about 1/2 second then restart and play for about 2 seconds, then freeze. I have confirmed this by reinstalling Kodi 17.6 on Windows 7, on Android 5.1 and on Android 6.1. I also reinstalled the YouTube app and even reinstalled all the way back to November of last year ---- SAME RESULT.
I then went to their web site and tried playing the same streams and all of them played with no problems from my Firefox browser on Windows 7.1.
This is driving me crazy and I really am missing playing YouTube live streams thru Kodi. Any help, suggestion of even a reason for this would be very much appreciated.
UPDATE: After reading and trying post #63 above everything now works for me -- I am grateful for this forum and for members support -- THANKS!

Did anyone recognize that videos in "My channel" are not played anymore? All other videos in are played well. I saw this today and it definitly worked a few days ago. I'm usually logged in by own API keys but I also tried the default settings and a complete new (clean) installation. Maybe someone has an idea what the problem can be? Or is it just youtube, again? Thanks!
