XBMC4Xbox

Since the user login function is not working on our current YouTube plugin I've decided to customize it to allow users to still setup their own playlists, I've pushed the changes into the Addons4Xbox installer repo.

Install it from the Addons4Xbox Installer, instructions here http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=7&t=897

I've included 12 preset feeds from popular tech channels on youtube, the linux and opensource ones were suggesed by Xphazer, and Whufclee's is his uploads feed featuring all his great xbox how-to videos
these feeds are mostly based on the uploads section of users public videos, so as they upload new videos the list on the youtube plugin also finds the latest from that user
there are also 10 empty placeholders that you can set to any playlist id you want directly from the Plugin Settings or by editing the settings.xml manually then ftping to the xbox

The url's used by the addon are not the standard youtube.com... that your used to, they are the http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/ addresses used by the youtube api,
this means if you want to add a playlist of a specific user or channel you need to put the link together your self, but its really easy heres how:

Lets say that you want to set the User List 2 in the addon to be the latest uploads from MotorTrend,
the normal address in you browser would look like so the address to set in the Plugin Settings would be This link will pull the latest videos from this users uploads

Ok so now if you want to set any playlist by using a playlist ID, lets try the playlist from motortrend for their show RoadKill
The normal link looks like: The link in the Plugin Settings would be And if you notice in your Plugin Settings I've set all the User Lists to http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/
to make it easy as possible, it takes forever just trying to type the http:// on an xbox
so all you need to do is type in the PL12C0C916CECEA3BC part for the list and press ok and it will load any public playlist you want

To play an entire playlist you need to highlight the list then press the Y button then press the black button to see the videos you just queued, if you select the top video it will play and the others in the list will automatically follow

The screenshots below should give you an idea

Enjoy

If you want my xbox videos feel free to use them in any way you want. Do you know if I can put them into a seperate youtube folder? I only upload a few videos to youtube to help people, I don't actually know how it works

What I would like is an XBMC4Xbox folder and a XBMC (Mainbranch) folder - does anyone know if this this possible?

Yeah Lee is easy just make 2 playlists and add the videos from your uploads to them, then I could change the url in the addon to the playlist id for your xbox playlist, just remember to set them as public viewable

Yes , Lee please make this and its where nice you addet to the xbmc4xbox Playlist the other xbmc4xbox tutorials to!

Regards jan!

Thanks guys, I'll look into that as soon as I have the time. I doubt I'll have time today but hopefully I might be able to do it tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Ok guys I've made a playlist called xbmc4xbox. It currently has all my xbox related videos in there but I'll be happy to add more - if anyone has links to other good guides let me know. I know there has been some good ones posted on this forum but I'm just being lazy so was hoping someone could do the research for me!

Great thanks Lee, I'll set the whufclee feed to this list in youtube in the repo now, I cant think of any video guides at the moment but maybe I'll skim the guides thread later and see
