[RELEASE] YouTube
[RELEASE] YouTube
YouTube v1.1.0
(plugin.video.youtube4x)
This plugin implements the YouTube API and supports
- listing of videos by categories and sort keys
- trending videos
- channels
- search
- livestreams
All videos are limited to 360p and a listing shows 25 items. At the moment playing livestreams doesn't work although the implementation is correct and the video quality is limited correctly. I think that is an issue of x4x since on kodi everything works flawless. Also contextmenu items like Go to ChannelTitle dont work at the moment, on kodi it works too.
The code is completely rewritten and not based on the official plugin only the video url methods are ported from bromix's plugin (Thanks!).
Also the ciphering is implemented to cache the files as long as no new call is needed.
The performance of this plugin is much better than the official kodi plugin (which has some big bugs when calling the API) nonetheless sometimes the xbox crashes because it's out of ram.
For the next version I planned to implement settings, languages, locations (for now language and location is hardcoded to en-US), subtitles.

Re: [RELEASE] YouTube
Are there any dependencies to make this work? It looks directory folders but then date script failed. I must be missing something.

Re: [RELEASE] YouTube
Hi,
i recently installed this plugin.First and foremost thanks to the creator for the good work.
As far as my experience goes some videos work others mostly longer videos (>10Min) wont. In fact my box will freeze. Do i have to do some further setup to make it more stable or should i change the mediaplayers?
Thanks

Re: [RELEASE] YouTube
From what you say I assume that you could lower the buffering time, I think that would cache less megabytes.
I cannot imagine other differences between low durated videos and longer ones.
If that doesn't work too, you could limit the video quality from 360p to some lower number by changing in api.py
MAX_HEIGHT = 360
to
MAX_HEIGHT = 200
or something.
For now I don't have a settings menu which could change this
