I'm using 2 Rpi's with LibreElec 9.0.2 (Kodi 18) and Milhouse latest dev. build for Kodi 19. Both have the Kodi repo version of the youtube addon (v.6.5.1). Video's newer than september 12th are not showing in the channels if have added to my Kodi favorites. I don't sign, simply use the favorites option in Kodi to check for new videos.

I've tried the 6.5.2~beta2 from the off. dev. channel on the Kodi 19 dev. version to no avail, videos newer than september 12th do not show up in the list (and I know for sure there are newer one's).

Please look in to this. If you need a logfile let me know, I'll post it here.


Regs,

I can partially confirm previous post. The videos in subscribed channels appeared later, than on YouTube website or YouTube app. And delay time is not consistent. On some channels it is near two days. On another 20 hours. I checked severals channels and got different values.
If I have viewed video on website then it is appeared in the history list of kodi plugin. But not in the subscribed channel.
  

The delay is an "old" problem. But since September 13th a new problem appeared. If you have bookmarked a channel (without any login/abo/etc) even videos listed before are no longer shown in Youtube/kodi. Videos published after the 13th are not shown at all.

If you search the channel (in Kodi), the videos are not found. If you search all youtube(in kodi), with a very exact title, the videos are found and can be played.

@roman_mzv 
I tried adding some protection against this, not sure atm why it's only happening to you.

I've updated post #2 and the repositories with v6.5.2~beta2

Code:

[fix] playback (No streams found)
[fix] missing metadata
[fix] check for and convert unexpected timestamp format

Thank you anxdpanic! v6.5.2~beta2 seems to work fine. I haven't encountered any more errors since updating vo v6.5.2~beta2 from the official developtment repo.    

Tonight I got some errors, but they are different than before:

Code:

2019-09-15 21:12:14.404 T:3381654240 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>
[b]Error Contents: unconverted data remains: .%f[/b]

Here are the download links to data_cache.sqlite and kodi.log (~90 MB).
Hope this helps

i was getting this and videos not playing it looks like it may be a bug with settings as after i deleted Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.youtube t rerun setup and it is right 

add youtube to nodes

xml:


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<node order="10" type="folder">

    <label>Hardware Unboxed</label>

    <path>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/</path>

    <icon>E:\kodi\icons\Hardware Unboxed.jpg</icon>

</node>

open youtube in web browser copy link after .com eg"user/TodayIFoundOut    channel/UCI8iQa1hv7oV_Z8D35vVuSg"

using user

xml:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I have the same problem with delayed videos since 3 days now.
New Videos wont show up in my subscribed channels - it is mixed up, sometimes it list "newest" video on top and a week old video on second place.
Dont know what cause this issue.


Workaround:

On Kodi Youtube - Go to your Subscriptions, select any of your subscribed channels -> Playlist -> Uploads
There you should see all recent and new Videos sorted by upload date - like the way how it should be.

Just an FYI I rolled back allllll the way back to 6.0.0 alpha 6 after trying pretty much everything and now all is well.

[Programie]

Is there any way to sync the history from YouTube to Kodi?

Currently this add-on only seems to add played videos to the YouTube history but it's really hard to find the next unwatched video if I'm also watching videos from other (non-Kodi) devices.

I always have to check the YouTube history in my browser to find the last video I watched before continue watching in Kodi to prevent rewatching the same video again.

It works for me also!

Would like to use that version but I can't seem to find it. Can you please provide a link?

Regs,

Since installing 6.5.2~beta2 I notice that when playing yt videos containing East Asian characters (CJK) the title shown in Kodi $INFO[videoplayer.title] is in "mojibake".  It looks like data sent to Kodi isn't being properly encoded into UTF-8?  Other meta data (search result listitems labels for example) are correct, so maybe it's just that particular bit of text data.

It seems to work on the version 6.2.0.beta3. Try:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CXR2DI...uAo82vmTtv

@linesma, @blueribb, @Roger79, @charlieroot, @iosheff, 
@BarrelGun, @tevi007, @fschueller, @ZeeGerman, 
The channel/subscription videos not showing up should be resolved in beta3

@brumbie
Need a complete debug log (wiki) to look into it

@roman_mzv
Please give beta3 a try, probably best to delete cache as well.

@Programie
There is no way currently to sync history.

@scott967
This should be fixed in beta3

I've updated post #2 and the repositories with v6.5.2~beta3

Code:

[fix] subscriptions not showing latest videos
[fixup] author and title encoding at playback
[fixup] video info
[upd] simplify youtube_resolver regex |contrib: Twilight0|
[revert] check for and convert unexpected timestamp format

.

[roman_mzv]

@roman_mzv

I gave it a try - but ran into new errors

Code:

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>
Error Contents: expected string or buffer

Debug Log: here or here (6 MB)
Data Cache: here (500 KB)

All the best!

Hi, I face the issue of having recently uploaded videos stopping after few seconds/minutes.
This seems to be described here along with logs, I run the last beta3.
Even if I don't face the issue with older videos, I have been able to watch some recent videos with no issue, so maybe this is a wrong track...

[uuulbri]

Sorry, my bad ignore previous message, I don't know why but my MPEG-Dash was turned off for whatever reason...
Re-activating it for videos solved the issue.
