In the Youtube Channels, Options, Addon Options:

There is a slider for "Show add folder/channel" options.  

I disabled it (slid it left) and those icons are still there, in all views.

I installed a second Kodi on a different computer, and tested the same slider, the "add folder" "Add channel to root" do not disappear.

On another note, Id like to see a similar option to hide the "UP" option, as I plan to restrict my son to just the channels I have enabled in his Kodi.

Thank you.

What version of Kodi are you using? Just tested YouTube Channels 0.4.0 on Kodi 19 and when disabling 'show add folder/channel' option they disappear for me.

As for hiding the up option, are you talking about just disabling it on the page that lists the channels?

EDIT: In Kodi settings, Media Settings, General, you can disable 'Show parent folder items' and it should remove the up options.

Thank you for responding, 

Version 19.4

YT Channels 0.4.0+Matrix.1

The "Show parent folder" tip worked.  I also saw another setting there, for "Show(Add Source)" and disabled it as well.

IN YT Channels, It still shows that Add Folder, and Add channel to Root options..  

I restarted the app also.  Any further tips?

I think I figured out the issue, I'm assuming you just have channels added but no folders. The code checks to see if that option is disabled or if the number of folders is 0. I'll submit a pull request to change that.

For now, you could add a folder and those options should go away.

You are correct.  Adding a folder, let the desired icons be hidden.  Ill standby for the update, so I can get rid of the folder too

Thank you much.

Any update to #152, @yeahme49 

[yeahme49]

Never got anywhere with it, couldn't figure out an easy way to do it with what the youtube api allows

Thanks for this, PR merged, just waiting merge in for the main repo.

Hello,

I'm running Kodi on an Orange Pi via LibreELEC. When I switch away from Kodi to another source and turn off the TV, I'd like it to stop downloading the live YouTube video stream that I'm watching, but keep the Orange Pi running, i.e. stop when HDMI is disconnected / no output device.

Is this possible to achieve?

My gut feeling is no, however even if that is possible; it's not responsibility of this plugin to be able to do it. Essentially you're looking for a new KODI feature which is "pause on disconnect", AFAIK it doesn't exist currently but if you ask in the more general KODI support forums, someone might be able to point you in the right direction?

never mind it's because youtube data queries per day limit
was setting up youtube channel on different machine..

[pazu1]

are there ways to update channel without spending quota to update channels on different machines? like for youtube addon copying search.sqlite

Can I just copy youtube_channels.db file on different machine and they will create same channel without wasting quota?

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I ended up writing a simple shell script and scheduling it to run every minute. Below is the code if anyone wants to achieve the same.

shell:


if [ $(cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status 2>/dev/null) = "disconnected" ]; then

        kodi-send --action stop

fi

(keep in mind that the card0-HDMI-A-1 part can be different in your case, you might need to adjust this part)

All,
just in case this could be useful to others enjoying this addon:
i had issues with "content not available" where basically no video would load.
So borrowing from other threads for similar youtube addons i played around with the user-agent.
I modified

Code:

.kodi/addons/plugin.video.ytchannels/resources/lib/functions.py

replacing the two occurrences of user-agent:
from:

Code:

'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0'

to

Code:

'Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:68.0) Gecko/68.0 Firefox/112.0'

I am not sure if this is a proper fix or more like a dirty hack, but i thought it would have been helpful to others so worth sharing


thanks
