That requires changes to the apps, so currently you still need the YouTube add-on for that but it doesn't require keys for just playback.

@asavah 
The YouTube API returns 'WL' as the watch later playlist--not the real playlist id--, which seems to work (read only) for some people but not all. Best bet here is to designate a playlist as watch later.

Thanks for this new addon. Up until now I've been unable to make it work... it install ok, I can navigate the options and see the name of the videos, but as soon as I choose one to play Kodi crashes, and I'm back in the desktop... The log is here: https://paste.kodi.tv/ibayudiqaq.kodi

Thanks!

Looks like it crashing in InputStream Adaptive, iirc the recent InputStream Adaptive version with Kodi 19 beta1 causes a crash. Can you try with beta2 from https://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/windows/win64/

[asavah]

@anxdpanic Now the issues with WL and save playlists are clear to me.
However the issue with empty "favorite channels" still remains.

You're right, beta2 did the trick, now Tubed works faultlessly. Thanks!

Do you get the 'No Entries' toast? 

Nothing stands out even in the debug log, you can try deleting userdata (wiki)\addon_data\plugin.video.tubed\channels\<uuid>\favorite_channels.sqlite and re-adding. But I will look over that area of code see if I can spot something out of line/add some more logging.

Yep.

Done. Stopped Kodi, removed the file. Nothing changed.

The file was recreated.
Added a few channels to favorites via context menu.

The sqlite file seems to be empty.

Code:

sqlite> .databases
main: /home/kodi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.tubed/channels/43221f16-74ef-4a98-a45b-df03f81a6194/favorite_channels.sqlite r/w
sqlite> .tables
storage
sqlite> select * from storage;
sqlite>

Another thing that I noticed is that tubed seems to prevent clean shutdown of Kodi, it was killed by systemd after timeout.
But to be sure I need to recheck this with youtube addon (it's the only addon I have with a service part) disabled.

[asavah]

Figured this out.
I was doing it wrong. But thats IMO a UI/UX problem.

What I was doing:

Enter "subcriptions", "context menu" - add to favourites ... these are not tubed favourite channels, but Kodi favourites!

In order to add a channel one has to enter the channel and call context menu on a playlist or a video and then "add <channel name> to favorite channels".

[anxdpanic]

That would do it. Thanks for confirming and I'll see what I can do to improve the UX

Hey! Great job, works well on my Kodi Matrix, and far easier to install compared to the YouTube addon

I have two questions: the History menu item is not displaye, even when activated. Is there an other option to enable? And I can't find my feed, like the subscriptions feed one the website. Same thing, am I missing an option?

Thanks!

[anxdpanic]

Thanks

For the subscriptions feed, sadly it's not available from the API which for this add-on means it cannot be added. A sacrifice for the simplicity :/

For history, it is again not available from the API. There is an alternative, first create a new playlist ('add to playlist' on a video) and then in the Playlists menu open the context menu on the playlist you created and Set as History. It will give you a Kodi watch history that is accessible from the addon/web.

Wish I had better news about those for you.

[BreizhReloaded]

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was afraid you'd answer that. How complicated would it be to loop over the subscribed channels to get their latest videos in order to recreate subscriptions feed-like view?

[anxdpanic]

The technical side is quite simple.
If I start adding non-api (webpage etc) scraping to this add-on, it's much higher risk that we're back at square one and everyone requires personal API keys again.

[BreizhReloaded]

Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you Google. I'll give a try to the full YouTube plugin then

This seems to be API based to compose the subscriptions feed. https://gist.github.com/iamdade/1e36fedb80594ba694f3

You can use parameter 'order' on 'subscriptions.list' and decide to only get and process the most recently active 50 subscriptions.
