RE: Creating your first Youtube Add-on - misty01 - 2016-11-29
The section of code you are concerned with:
Code:
def run():
plugintools.log("fullycharged.run")
# Get params
params = plugintools.get_params()
if params.get("action") is None:
main_list(params)
else:
action = params.get("action")
exec action+"(params)" <<<---- this line of code with exec
plugintools.close_item_list()We don't need that code at all.
Use this instead:
Code:
def run():
plugintools.log("fullycharged.run")
# Get params
params = plugintools.get_params()
if params.get("action") is None:
main_list(params)
else:
pass
plugintools.close_item_list()Your youtube add-on will run fine.
Hope that helps.
As far as Addon.id, not sure as I didn't write the plugintools.py. I think with some code examination, what we want to use for creating simple youtube add-ons, the small portion of pertinent code from plugintools.py could probably be extracted and added directly into the main default.py. I haven't dug into the code to see what small portions are used, but it should not be too hard to figure out.

Thanks, works great!
Agreed on minimizing it down, but one for the future I think.

Hi,
I can not get the SEARCH option and PLAYLIST option working.
Code:
plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="Youtube Search for 'NHK World'",
url='plugin://plugin.video.youtube/search/?q=NHK World',
thumbnail=icon,
folder=True )Or
Code:
plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="UNESCO/NHK",
url="plugin://plugin.video.youtube/playlist/PLWuYED1WVJIPKU_tUlzLTfkbNnAtkDOhS/",
thumbnail=icon,
folder=True )It does not work for me, I have created multiple channels but when I add these I get error

thanks so much guy

When we are doing multiple channel Add-ons, can we make it more simple without assigning values to variables?
e.g.
Code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# The X Factor International
#------------------------------------------------------------
# License: GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html)
# Based on code from youtube addon
#------------------------------------------------------------import os
import sys
import plugintools
import xbmc,xbmcaddon
from addon.common.addon import AddonaddonID = 'plugin.video.XFactorInternational'
addon = Addon(addonID, sys.argv)
local = xbmcaddon.Addon(id=addonID)
icon = local.getAddonInfo('icon')
# Entry point
def run():
plugintools.log("XFactorInternational.run")
# Get params
params = plugintools.get_params()
if params.get("action") is None:
main_list(params)
else:
action = params.get("action")
exec action+"(params)"
plugintools.close_item_list()# Main menu
def main_list(params):
plugintools.log("XFactorInternational.main_list "+repr(params))
plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="X Factor Adria",
url="plugin://plugin.video.youtube/channel/UCex1kBiVgk1EEsf0Fi4D8HA/",
thumbnail=icon,
folder=True )
plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="X Factor Albania",
url="plugin://plugin.video.youtube/user/xfactoralbania/",
thumbnail=icon,
folder=True )
plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="X Factor Arabia",
url="plugin://plugin.video.youtube/user/TheXFactorArabia/",
thumbnail=icon,

plugintools.add_item(
#action="",
title="X Factor Armenia",

Hi all,
I have successfully forked this addon to run the Empire Files Youtube channel, but they have no live section in their channel. How do I remove this link in the addon? I've looked at the code but nothing suggests what this part is?
RE: Creating your first Youtube Add-on - the_other_guy - 2019-07-13
just a tip this can be done with the youtube plugin an a node
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=344482

can you make a addon that lets you add list of youtube channel subcriptions and it will make menus for it ?

The YouTube Add-on in the official repository already does this.
