Version 2.1.55
Changes:
- Changed WebViewer import requirement to 0.9.17
- Now caches video info acquired when creating thumbnails
- Removed setting 'Play YouTube Videos Internally'
- Changed setting 'Max Video Quality' to 'Max Streaming Video Quality'
- Added setting 'Disable DASH Video (Recommended)' (default=True)
On my REPO.
This should clear up issues with no sound. Many of the formats from YouTube are MPEG-DASH and have the video and audio separate. Unfortunately most, if not all, 1080p videos are in this format. You should now be able to safely set the max video quality setting to 1080p and get the best video quality that has sound to play, which on YouTube will probably be less than 1080p. Videos from sites other than YouTube should be able to play at 1080p fine with sound (unless of course they use the same format).
For now, you can still view the 1080p videos without sound by un-checking the 'Disable DASH Video' setting.
Likely a future (or possibly current - I'm still trying to find out) version of XBMC will be able to handle the separated streams.
