Youtube has decided to switch it's large audience events from a plain old stream with a one singular url to a more advanced segmented stream to implement their "DVR" functionality. In other words every few seconds of video is treated as a different video file. They're also using some type of redirect to pull the video data from some other server and not directly from youtube, which is why the XBMC Youtube plugin throws out a "Couldn't locate" error.
Is there a workaround? I've been trying to stream coachalla too with no luck.
There might be. I've been watching the stream through my android phone and have noticed that the DVR functionality isn't present in the Android app. Perhaps, and I emphasize perhaps, the app is pulling an old school basic stream. Unfortunately I don't have the technical expertise to try to verify this.
