YouTubeLol v0.1 BETA - TEST ONLY

[lolcool]

YouTubeLol v0.2 BETA
YouTube remote for iPhone, Android, or any browser. Play youtube videos on your Xbox from your phone!

This is very beta. Interface is falling apart. There are bugs everywhere, but I wanted to get this out just so ppl could see that it works and stuff. This is not final by any means. It just works, that is all.

WARNING THIS IS VERY BETA. LOTS OF ERRORS AND GLITCHES.

Only playback quality allowed is 320p MP4. This is temporary and will be changed at release of v1.0 (or sooner).

Download:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/wgmqas

How to install:
1. Download this and unzip it
2. Connect to your xbox via FTP
3. Go to the Q Drive (Q:\)
4. On the Q Drive, rename the folder "web" to "web2"
5. Then copy "web" from the zip to the Q Drive (so that the "web" from the zip is your new Q:\web folder).
6. Go to Q:\plugins\video\
7. Copy "YouTubeLol" to this folder.
8. Restart your xbox.

How to use:
1. Go to your xbox ip address from your phone or from any browser.
2. If it asks for a username/password, the default is xbox/xbox.

The search section is going to get a complete overhaul. Right now it's a mess cuz I just finished rebuilding it last night without the youtube API.

I watched videos with out a fight really awesome wprked on my android

[lolcool]

Glad you like it! After I fix a few of the bugs, I will be able to improve load speed and reduce 99% of video errors. (I know what is causing most of the problems, just haven't had time to fix)

Sidenote to developers, i am not familiar with the xbmc functions and stuff. This is the first plugin I've made. Does anyone know how to send a command to the xbox and have it load in the background?

Currently when you search for videos, a loading box pops up on the xbox. How can I avoid this?

The command I am using to execute the search is PlayFile() and calling my plugin with the parameters of that function. How can I execute my plugin in the background thru the web ui?

@lolcool
See HTTP API commands:
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/wiki/Web_Server_HTTP_API

and Built-In functions:
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/wiki/List_o ... _Functions

Instead of using PlayFile you could try to use built-in function PlayMedia(media,1), see documentation.
It might still show a progress dialog you'd have to try it - that is to show the user that something is going on as the whole application was written really towards user and not services oriented.

[lolcool]

thanks I will try that!!!!!!!!!

[NOTTHESAME]

it seems to be working really great, im enjoying this more then I do on kodi, kodi has this limit thing going on so we can only watch so much and wait a few hours or the next day, but this is great on our xbmc4xbox, keep the xbox with more cool suprises and alive.

[lolcool]

New version coming tomorrow with bug fixes, specifically searching without having the loading screen popup on the xbox and an option to "play now" or "add to playlist"

I may also fix the "now playing" screen

[NOTTHESAME]

Will this work for 3.6 xbmc4xbox? If not that's fine,great job again

Seems to work. Can I get a textbox or something I can just chuck the ?v=key part of the youtube URL in, to make it load that key?
With the search box not working (checked the code, seems to be disabled), only way I could find to actually load a video I wanted was to edit js.js and stick the key in there: finalhtml += '<a href="#/" class="qvideo" data-id=key>\

Ya I can add that. What is wrong with the search box?

@NOTTHESAME - yes it should.

All the processing of the search box is commented out in js.js, and attempting to search just triggers a "Return false"?
