youtube no longer supporting old devices?

Post by seriouslycgi »

Someone at isozone was saying youtube vids now all default to one video advertising that youtube no longer supports devices older than 2012. Anyone else getting this?

I got that too, but on Rasperry Pi. Youtube cannot find out if your device is "old". It can only find out if the way you access it is deprecated.
Basically this means the Addon-Developer needs to update the way he scrapes things eg. json, xml from Youtube...

youtube had change the api from version v 2 to v3 so that all apps or addons what the old api v2 use no more works.
The old v2 api was working without apikey the v3 version works only with api key.
On main xbmc she have the new youtube addon from bromix what is the most better solution as the old youtube addon from the collective so the best option is we make the bromix youtube addon on xbmc4xbox working.
