RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - bromix - 2015-05-07

Thank you for your quick answer.
However, I can only see "Play only this" " Queue video" but no "play from here" in context menu.
Also I prefer to play from the newest video every time I click into the channel.
Is it possible?
Thanks.
"Play from here" works only on playlists (not directly on "My subscriptions" or the "new uploaded videos" of a channel.
To play the "Newest video" just navigate to the channel and play the first (top most) video
why we need a new command/context menu/etc.?

EDIT:
I know you can "Via context menu: "Add-on settings" -> "General: Video Quality" though I was after it asking me when I click play on a vid (like the old YT plugin)
I didn't added the "ask-option" again. Is this really needed or only a question because it's missing?
Na if it's a pain then no worries. Just greedy
would be nice as I dont always want or need 720p (data plan here & not a high limit!) - Your call - Thanks again
RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - Naito333 - 2015-05-08
I am working on creating my own addon, but when I set the URL to play a video using the plugin nothing occurs.
li = xbmcgui.ListItem('ListItemName')
li.setProperty('isplayable', 'true')
url = 'plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=XXXXXXX'
li.setProperty('Video', 'true')
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=addon_handle , url=url, listitem=li, isFolder=False)
Does the setProperty need to be set to something different besides 'Video'? Currently I am using Kodi 15.0. Is the plugin still supported in 15.0?
RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - bromix - 2015-05-08
A debug log (wiki) after you tried to play your item could help

Hello,
it is really needed. Youtube, by default, does not choose the best resolution available (and the quality is already bad at 1080p). Currently, The videos display only at 720p for me.
I had to upgrade the plugin this week from 4.x because of the authentication issues at youtube.
Cheers,
David
RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - nickr - 2015-05-09
You won't get higher than 720p anyway.

I apologize for not having it posted. I got it uploaded to xbmclogs here. The issue falls on line 5298 in the log.

Secondly the uri isn't correct. You have to remove the .tbn.

RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - Naito333 - 2015-05-09
Does the plugin append the .tbn somewhere? I don't have that in the script from what I can tell.

I have a thread in the dev -> addon support section so I won't fill up this feed anymore. I'll keep trying to figure out where the .tbn is coming from, and if anyone is interested I will post the answer (if I find it) HERE.

Thanks for the help bromix.
RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - bromix - 2015-05-09
If you're using this addon with Gotham or Isengard, it is possible you will get an error that you're unauthorized - just sign out and proceed with the login again.
I added for each major version of XBMC/KODI a separate API-KEY - so I have more control over the quota for each system.
Version 5.1.1~beta6 (2015-05-09)
ADD: API Key for each major version of KODI
DEL: removed old v2 API

Hello. I have tried to install the youtube addon on an MX box that has a Linux build and using xbmc. But i keep getting 'dependencies not met'. Is there a fix for this please?

I'm focusing on Helix, are you using Frodo?
RE: YouTube v5.X.X - KODI 14.X Helix - SportySpice - 2015-05-09
Hi bromix,
I'm writing a plugin that mimics youtube collections (although it will be a little more advanced)
The basic functionality will let you take a bunch of playlists/channels and merge them into one list of videos.
I will also add a few more complex operations/filters you could then use.
Anyway,
I was wondering if I could somehow use your plugin to get all the info I need (playlists, channel uploads, video info,etc)?
Or will it be better to just use Youtube's API directly and write everything from scratch?
