Using Beta 1.9.2 with Dharma r33776

Having problems with the age restricted videos thing too, but not sure if it is related to YouTube or the plugin:

I take that back - it works if I specifically login with the plugin Login feature, but why does it not login automatically like the plugin says it is doing?

Err, plugin makers, I don't know if you are interested, but I did some hacking of your code to try and add in browsing for TVShows in YouTube.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BL4T84WH

I created a YouTubeScraperShows python file which currently extends the YouTubeScraperCore class in order to avoid messing with that. The code currently allows me to list show categories, browse these for shows and then play individual episodes. Currently the scraper for episodes only scrapes the "current season" and does not take the paging into account, but you are welcome to the code for what it's worth.

The other changes - search for "SKILA_MODIFIED"
YouTubeNavigation.py - uses YouTubeScraperShows rather than YouTubeScraperCore, adds in a category for the scraper "shows", modifies scrape & parseFolderList to use the scraper called "shows".
YouTubeCore - added urls for "shows" and "show" (sorry missed off the "SKILA_MODIFIED" bit)
language XML: add "TVShows" string

Let me know if it's a pile-o-sh**e or any use - it was hacked up fairly quickly

I could possibly be retarded. I will concede that. I have been using the Alternate Youtube Plugin for a while and a few days ago it started giving me "BAD USERNAME PASSWORD" errors. After trying for hours, I gave up and assumed it was a bug. Up to this point, I had been using my google account and password WITHOUT the "@gmail.com". Today, I was like "F IT" and went into the XML to add the @gmail.com. I SWEAR I added this before though XBMC and it wouldn't work. But, now I can log in fine. I will actually try to reproduce this later (on a 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 machine right now and don't want to deal with using lucid packages).

Anyway, a suggestion would be to select which login method, YouTube/Google. and have the "Username" field change to "Email." If nothing else, it would make it more explicit.

Anyway love the plugin if only there was a Blip.tv one. I could watch ThatGuyWithTheGlasses though XBMC and my life would be complete.

hello,

i am using dharma beta2, win7, transparency skin. using version 1.9.2 i keep getting "login failed http error 401: unauthorized".

tried to make a debug log but couldnt find where it is saved?

many thanks for the work!

with dharma beta3 its working now.

Yeah, it works now. But why does it take ~40 seconds to login? It's the same with 1.8.1. I press Login, and a static Loading Directory is shown for ~40 seconds.
Changing settings and then clicking OK also has this 30-40 second delay, I guess because it seems to logout and login when changing settings.

debug log: http://pastebin.ca/1959231

There is a stupid bug that seems to mostly hit windows, where a connection will fail semi randomly.

I added some code to handle that problem(setting the timeout to 5 seconds instead of 30). But if the timeout is set(doesn't matter if it is set to a year in the future, 30 secconds, or 5 seconds) login fails on windows. Only on windows.

This is why login didn't work at all with the beta to begin with.

I want a proper solution before a final. But currently i don't know how to solve this problem.

Hello,

I am having some problems with this plugin. When I try to play a video, it acts like it is going to open, then nothing plays and the watch flag is immediately applied to the icon of the video I just tried to watch. Sometimes a box will open that says something along the lines of "Opening stream", but whether that box shows or not nothing plays.

I am having this issue on 2 computers. Both running XBMC Dharma Beta 2. One is on XP the other is on Windows 7. I tried installing the 1.9.2 beta on the computer running XP and I am still having the same problem.

Here are the logs from 1.8.1 on the XP machine: http://pastebin.com/3UpWmXCh

Here are the logs from 1.9.2 on the XP machine: http://pastebin.com/Da5JZ62X

I've also tried searching and read this thread back 10 pages, so forgive me if I missed the solution somewhere. I found one other thread with a similar problem, but that person is running xbmc on an xbox. Anyways, thanks for any help.

Hi, did this reply solve your problem?

MongarEric:

You are on windows yet it looks like you have some ExternalPlayer being invoked for vlc on unix:

ExternalPlayer Filename: /usr/bin/vlc

Looks good to me!

I have never tried using an external player. I didn't even know it was supported after XBMC moved away from the xbox.

I need a full debug log to investigate this issue properly. Not just the part you posted.

I am not sure why there is an external player trying to be invoked. I guess I have a rogue advanced.xml doing something I don't want it to do. I will have to check this out when I get home. Thanks for the help.

*Edit*

I figured out that the culprit was the multi room audio plugin, I had been playing around with it and it had generated a playercorefactory.xml file. So I deleted it and the plugin works again. Thanks for the tip tslayer.

Hey - thanks for the plugin, it's very cool. Until this evening its been working very well but all of a sudden im being told I have to be 18 to watch clips from 4od... I've got the safesearch switched off - anyone else had this?

hmm forget that - it looks as though it wasn't logged in properly (although it looked that way, could see my subscriptions etc.) - I had to give it some invalid credentials so that the login failed then put my real credentials back in and use the login option.

Working again now though anyway so not to worry.

Cheers

Hi, haven't had time to look at the code yet, but i will look into integrating it into the scraper tonight

The plugin should re-authenticate automatically i believe.

If this happens again could you throw me a log?

[Nektarios]

Nice Henrik!

Now another, and i hope an easy thing this time, can you enable somehow this plugin so that it can be added to the Custom Home Addon Buttons? It would be nice to have youtube on the home screen.

I don't really know if that has anything to do with the add-on but I'll look into it..

Hey Henrik,

Have you find any solution for the custom home addon button? I really would love to have youtube on the home screen!

Doesn't seem to work with that good with "part x/y" videos. Either I only get back the exact search or like in this case (ABC p1/2) I get
-exact search
-similiar
But NOT ”ABC p2/2”.
debug log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/507184/

Edit search? 1.8.1 has "Refine to user", though all that does is bring up an empty search box. In 1.9.1 "Refine to user" is gone and all I get is the default context menu (http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4682/...t001mp.png).

"More videos from this user" brings up the folder toggle settings for some reason. When I close the window there's a progress window stuck at ~90% and some seconds later on the folder toggle settings show up again. On and on in an infinite loop.
These messages will popup while this is going on:
LOGIN FAILED IOERROR
subscription_upload LOGIN FAILED
debug log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/507187/

A lot of folders are missing (subscriptions, favourites) even though they are enabled. I guess everything that requires login are missing? Though the only time I get LOGIN FAILED is with "More videos from this user". This is all I get in 1.9.1: http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4356/...t002sf.png

Wow. thats alot of errors , will look into them today

Hey Hinz,

Yeah I noticed that too, I'm thinking youtube changed how their disco search works, and broke the scraper, will look into it today
