As my name suggests, I'm in China where Youtube (among others) is blocked. I usually use an SSH tunnel to proxy streaming media, but sometimes it can be a bit slow. The Youtube plugin (among others, like Vimeo) are timing out (officially "uncaught error" but I'm fairly certain this is a latency issue). The Youtube plugin has a maximum timeout period of 5 seconds, and the settings.xml file gives this as the maximum possible. Is there any way to increase it to, say, 30 seconds? Not an experienced python coder here so not sure how to proceed. Of course the other option would be to shell out for faster broadband - that is also on the to-do list, but if I can hack the script to increase timeout then I can at least verify that this IS a proxy speed issue and not something else.
I'd post my logs but I'm not sitting in front of my xbmc box right now. Will do so later.
The timeout is disabled(because of issues on windows). So that option is totally 100% ignored and has no effect.
