Thank you very much! This script is good!
But would you add a language file for the script, that will allow to translate to other language easily.

I am having issues with this script on an xbox. I have the latest version of the xbmc build. Forgive me for being a newb here. I have done my homework and have many other plugins up and working, and they are all installed in the apps/plugins/video folder. This is the only one I have put in apps/scripts directory as it does not even seem to work anywhere else.

Is the apps/scripts directory the correct place for this?

It completes loading the "Recently Featured" feeds successfully. But, when I click on a video to play it, it hangs on opening the file. It gets to what would seem like 90+% of caching it. The dialog box that's hung says:

Cache size set to 4096 Bytes
Connected to server: www.youtube.com
Caching...

And it hangs just as it seems to complete caching. I have to powercycle the box. Any help is appreciated and I would be happy to provide anymore info I can give you. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear you are having this problem. If you could please provide additional information such as exact build and version number of XBMC, youtube script, xbmc debug log, whether you experience problems with any other python scripts or plugins. This can help me to figure out what is going on, because I don't experience the same problem. Thx

Yup, re-downloaded and installed it from the link just above my previous post. I "installed" the script the same way I have been installing plugins, just ftp'ing the whole Youtube folder under the apps/scripts folder. I then reboot the xbox.. Same issue occurs everytime no matter what video I try. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong as far as install and/or running the script.

I can search and play youtube videos successfully using the VideoMonkey plugin, if that helps at all.

Interesting... the VideoMonkey interfaces with the XBMC Player API similar to youtube script. The only differences could be:

1) VideoMonkey has a setting for player type, youtube script currently set to use PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER on line 80 of default.py (of the youtube script.) You could try changing PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER to PLAYER_CORE_AUTO to see if that makes any difference, but its just a shot in the dark.

2) The URL Being used to play the video could be parsed differently causing some loading issue. At some point I'll try and look into what YouTube URL VideoMonkey is using, if I have any luck I'll post in the forum.

What is the operating system for XBMC?

Can you describe how the videos fail to play?

XBMC 8.10 ATLANTIS (compiled Nov 14 2008)
Mplayer XBMC-SVN-r10070-4.1.2 (Oct 29 2008 -14:51:13)

Youtube script version
YouTube-3-4

I can search video's and look through them ie. see the thumbnails and info
when I hit select on one it starts downloading, caching etc.
then nothing at all. sometimes it locks and I have to power cycle the xbox other times it simply stays on the video selection screen and you can click on another video. I have tried loads of videos now but they all do the same thing.

Andy ideas greatly appreciated

I just changed the PLAYER_CORE_MPLAYER to PLAYER_CORE_AUTO
as described in borick's post and it has fixed my problem.

Thankyou Borick. should have tried your fix before I posted!

Thank you for trying this! I don't think anyone else tried it since no one has posted anything about it. Since I don't experience the problem, I couldn't debug it. So it helps very much for you to let me know this fixed a problem you were having :) Hopefully I will include this change in a future version of the script. Thanks again.

Thanks borick for the tip. However, I wanted to know why do we have to press enter on the keyboard (I have XBMC on windows platform) to play any video and it does work when I click the video thumbnail.

In the other thread (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=294467#post294467) you can see Nuka1195's response which may help:

mouse clicks are builtin, but were only recently fixed in xbmc. make sure your xbmc is upto date.

I've been searching far and wide for this solution! I just registered in the forums specifically to thank you, borick. Thank you for that quick and easy fix!

For those that may be computer-challenged (comparatively to people in this forum, at least), you need to open the default.py script in Notepad in Windows, make the change as borick said from MPLAYER to AUTO, and then FTP it and replace the old one. From what I see, this is a problem for all the youtube scripts for the 2009 builds of xbmc.

Thanks again!!!!!:grin:

I love this script, but I was wondering if you could add the info from Youtube (like title/description/thumbnail) to the videoinfo bar while playing the video, now it just shows "get_video" as title.
I think i've seen the Apple.com trailers-script do something similar.

Thanks for this great script.

Hi,

I also had the same problem and change the _MPLAYER to _AUTO, but it still does not work. I click on a video and it seems to want to start, but just a few seconds (or 1 second, not a timeout) nothing happens. I do not see any error messages in the script output. Other scripts works fine, and I can watch SVT for instance, without problems... Using the latest XBMC build, but I have tried others, including latest stable release, with same results.

Everything seems to work fine, except actually watching the video :(

Any ideas?

I've just finished off a skin for this script to go with MC360. It's not perfect (I hate the next/previous buttons) but it's nicer to look at than the default PM3 skin.

Would be cool if it got placed in the svn and thus was automatically in each release.

Download It (http://www.turboupload.com/qxn3ht8u2tt5/YouTube3_MC360_Skin.zip.html)

Sorry I didn't update the source properly, I am keeping the files mostly on my local SVN - the downloads are out of sink with the source and the downloads should be the most recent

I haven't checked this thread in a while - I'm taken a long break from supporting this script unless there are any major bugs like youtube not working

Can anyone report whether or not this script works for them? Edit: it works for me

I know I had the super-great YouTube script running...but I've upgraded a few times, latest to Babylon (t3ch), and now it doesn't work, and silly me has forgotten which was the last version it worked properly with.

Can someone help me out? I just need to know which is the latest XBMC (for xbox) that works with the YouTube script. (I've tried both the version in this thread as well as the one from the downloader.) It doesn't work with the May 21 version of Babylon, or the final version from May 9. Do I have to go back to Atlantis? If so, which one?

TIA! :)

I can't get the YouTube3 script to work either. I can see the thumbs, but when I click to play it won't play. I am running XBMC on Xbox and am running the latest stable SVN (T3CH XBMC 2009-06-01 9.04.1-FIXED-Babylon) and YouTube3 3.4.

When you select a video to play I get notified that it is connecting but nothing ever plays. Any ideas?

I've had the same problem with the script since I can remember, looks great but just won't play the videos. I think the youtube script used to work back in the day but I can't recall it working on Atlantis or Babylon builds (although it may have nothing to do with the builds of xbmc, it could just be that the youtube script got updated - can't really remember). The youtube plugin works fine for me though on xbox.

there's a youtube plugin also?

but i installed this in /plugins/scripts/ and it seemed to work nicely (Mac PPC) but I didn't run in thru the ropes.

But I have two questions:

1. I changed my skin to Mediateam and it has no scripts folder in the GUI main menu, so how can you access it now?

2. isn't there any way to:

a) either make it a plugin or
b) symlink it so it shows up as a video source?

(I did read this (http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_and_use_scripts_in_XBMC) but I still wonder why it isn't possible to just link to it ...)

Hey guys,

I've downloaded the YouTube script and unzipped it, and then placed the 'YouTube' folder inside my \XBMC\scripts\ folder, but when I go to my 'scripts' section within XBMC, it doesn't detect any scripts. (even the Apple movie trailers one that comes with XBMC)

I've even tried using the file browser within XBMC but it just doesn't recognise the .py file. It just doesn't see anything!

Am I doing something wrong??

P.S. I'm running the latest built on my HTPC using Windows 7.

I've even tried using the file browser within XBMC but it just doesn't recognise the .py file. It just doesn't see anything!

Am I doing something wrong??

P.S. I'm running the latest built on my HTPC using Windows 7.

I use xbox so I'm not entirely sure about this but I think on windows you have to put your plugins and scripts in C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName"\Application Data\XBMC

Does this work for XBMC for Windows ?
I put it here C:\Program Files\XBMC\scripts\YouTube
But it's not working.
http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_and_use_scripts_in_XBMC - I read this but it's not helping me.
Sorry.
All help appreciated.

If I made an autoexec.py entry to execute this YouTube script what would the entry look like ?

xbmc.executescript('special://xbmc//scripts\\YouTube\\youtube.py')

My XBMC is installed into c:\Program Files\XBMC\

Note: I believe Python is installed as I have a python24.dll and python24.zlib in my \system\python\ directory.

Thanks. That was the problem.
The Documentation did not refer to this.
This is complicated by the fact that there *IS* a scripts directory in the native installation directory. This is further complicated by the fact that the C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName"\Application Data\XBMC is natively hidden in most Windows Installs.

Certainly requiring scripts to install to a hidden directory is not an end user friendly idea.

Is this plugin working with the Linux version? XBMC seems to freeze or at least the keyboard isn't working anymore after loading the video list on startup.

There's a plugin and a script. This is the script thread.
AFAIK the latest version of the script doesn't work.

If the plugin isn't working for you then you are probably running it as a script rather than as a plugin. Try entering Videos > Video Plugins then running it.

if he is getting a listing, he's running it right. but a debug log might help.

Hi guys, I was planning on trying to fix this script so it works again (similar to the fix Nuka did on the video plugin)

but after just discovering the video plugin... is there any real reason to keep supporting this script? what do you guys think?

Which video script are you referring to?
Is it better?

Is there any chance of a script being made that supports HD videos in Youtube?

The Youtube plugin is in the xbmc-addons svn
The thread for it is here:

btw plugins go in the plugins dir, scripts to in the scripts dir. plugins n scripts are two different things

borick,

I think your script is quite excellent. The search function works very well, and the thumbnails are nice.

If you do have time, I personally would appreciate a fix.

If you're asking if people would care, my answer is "yes".

Thanks,

-Wes

thanks for responding, i will try to fix the remaining videos now

I am very busy, do not have much time... so this is going to be a fast hack. I hope it works, lets see.

Edit: fixed, youtube-3-4c is on the downloads page now of google code. most if not all videos play now

I have no idea why this happens, but others have reported the same thing. Do you know of any scripts which stream through the web and work on your setup? I'm not sure if its a script thing, or XBMC thing.

Uitzending gemist works. Also local files work fine.

I installed last week: ubunti minimal, then used a script from this forum to install latest stable xbmc with nvidia 1.85.

Any suggestions on other scripts to try (similar video formats)?
