Please see my earlier post. I believe your XBMC build is a bit too old, try a newer build.

Does it work for you? Have you had any issue like mine on XML file missing?

I noticed comments about windows and xbox and this script. Has anyone tested in linux? I just sent it to my box and will test when i get home.

Video overlay on the lower left hand corner is covering up tabs, is there a way to disable video overlays?

To get it working mostly linux, rename the "pal" directory in "resources/skins/DefaultSkin" to "PAL" (uppercase) I only had the chance to test this in Ubuntu hardy in a VM, so please report usability in linux.

This will fix the "XML File for Window not found" error

Thanks for the support. Now that I released it, there's a few more issues I'd really like to fix.

So far these are the issues I'd like to fix:
- Keeping the selected list choice after playing a video
- moving the overlay
- a message to users if their XBMC build is too old
- improving the download dialog to stay around for all of the work, proper indication of retrieving feed status

I'll get around to these fixes if time permits, job has really been keeping me busy lately

Just wanted to say thanks for this!

Adding the ability to scroll through results, making results relevant (the old search was TERRIBLE), and adding thumbnails made all the difference.

GREAT script!

Wes

When I'm trying run this script i'm getting info that "attributeerror:'module' object has no attribute 'windowsxml'. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,

I tried YouTube3 script on XBMC PC and on XBOX and it doesn't start.
Do I miss something on the way to use it(XBMC version compatibility ...) or is there an issue with the ucrrent version?

I hope it will help, and thnak you for your work :D

added to xbmcscripts

Thank you very much borick for your answer. I was sure I was missing something. I tried it on a more recent version ans it works perfectly.
Congratulation and thank you for this beautiful :shocked:version of YouTube script, it is even more beautiful than I was expected! :nod:

Thanks!

On another note, I saw that there was another YouTube script released on XbmcScripts with some similar changes to mine about the paging, but without the other changes. the only reason I started this new "branch" of youtube script is to get it where I wanted for my own personal use, and give back to community who provided the script to me originally. If anyone wants to help contribute / maintain this script I would be more than pleased.

im trying to run this on the latestbuild in windows and I just get a 'downloading playlist file...' message - any ideas why? I've left this for a good ten minutes and nothing returned...

clean install of hardy, latest hardy ppa xbmc build. When i launch version 3.1 it will bring the gui up, go through the "downloading" pop up "view: full list" and then crash. If i cancel it before it has had time to complete it will stay in the scrips but as soon as i select anything it crashes.

has anyone had any success running this on the linux build? Using the latest hardy ppa it just stops at "(running)."

Just wanted to say thanks for this!

GREAT script!

Hi,
I love this script :-) !!
Is there any way I can save some videos in a playlist and then play them in a loop?
Thanks.

Thanks for the plugin, it's really outstanding.

Is it possible to select between youtube video quality (&fmt=18) and set it to the max?

Have you managed to fix this?

I have just finished my media center pc, installed xbmc (latest version) and get the same problem (with all youtube scripts available)

My internet connection is working fine btw on the pc.

Thank you

Thanks for the update borick. I renamed pal to PAL and now the script starts up and displays the interface, but quickly crashes back to xbmc. Before it would never get that far so its definitively an improvement :).

In my VM I had a black screen, but after clicking i was able to get past it and play a video. What version of linux are you using?

Borick,

Thanks a ton for this.

I'm out of town until Thursday, but I'll try it then and report back.

This is great.

Good luck working with BernardO.

Wes

Nice work! It doesn't seem to play back video on windows build, but that may be something on the XBMC side (it seems to fail to identify the flv in the ffmpeg decoder).

Cheers,
Jonathan

Any way to add different views other than the list?

What I'm really looking for is bigger thumbnail previews, like on the AppleTV.

It's easy to read the description, but not easy to see the picture at all.

Maybe a scroll list with 6, 9 or 12 thumbnail previews on a screen?

Maybe just one of the above, with a way to cycle between the current list view and a "thumbnail" icon view with popup description or description underneath or something.

I dunno.

It's already so much better than it was, that it's hard to not be happy with it ;)

it doesn't start on my xbox
when I try to start it nothing happens

I'm working on another update. There's a branch in youtube versions going on! BernardO made another update to the YouTube2a script on xbmcscripts. BernardO, as mentioned on the google code page, I think we should combine our efforts. I am flexible on how we do this, my only wish is to make as good a script as possible :)

Hello Boris

Thanks for your offer to cooperate. Like yourself I am a busy guy. I made YouTube 2a 0.96 only because my search wasn't flexible enough, so I wanted an option to sort results by date added, relevance, view count and rating. That was the final thing to do for me in YouTube 2a far as I am concerned.
However, since you offer me to cooperate maybe we can do some brainstorming about reaching your goal which is to make youtube3 the best script possible. I don't think I will do some code for youtube3 because that is your baby. However, if you wanted me to I can't guarantee I will have the time. I hate the fact that I am always so busy, but unfortunately that's life for me at the moment. So if you are up to some brainstorming let's do it.
Here is an idea for you. What about a menu in which you can configure how to display your results ? For example, some users might not want to see your preview thumbs or some other things in the results. You could offer them an option to change that.

Kind regards,
BernardO

Hi - I'm using 8.10a4-hardy3 (SVN:15111) and getting the following:

"attributeerror:'module' object has no attribute 'windowsxml'

Anyone know what's up with that?

jmarshall,

I am able to play back video fine on Atlantis 4 Windows, although I notice buffering takes considerably longer on the windows side versus my xbox.

shtas,

this script is tested on the 08-25 build of xbmc for Xbox, and Atlantis 4 for Windows. It sounds like you need to upgrade your build with the latest developer build

:laugh::laugh::laugh::grin::rofl:
You do realize jmarshall actually programs a great deal of XBMC and would be considered one of if not the main coder currently so we can assume his build is pretty much up to date :)

Hello all,

I did some updates and made a new release on the google code site for this script. My responses to some of your queries below:

touser,

unfortunately I haven't had a chance to run this on linux yet. I will make this my top priority for any future changes I will do, and ensure the next release is linux compatible.

waldo22,

i have added some views to the newest version on google code site. let me know what you think or you had any other views in mind.

cybercisco,

the feature you request would be cool, so I will try to add it in the future

Regards,
Boris

This script was tested on the Aug 25,08 T3CH build for XBOX, and Atlantis 4 for Windows. It has not been tested on Linux yet. The specific errors you are getting looks like its the result of using a build slightly too early.

I am considering making some changes which will attempt to detect the version of your XBMC, and be backwards compatible or worst case display an error message, so that this is more clear to end-users.

thanks it helped. Your script is really great thing, at least it is possible to navigate beetwen multiply pages. But i have a little question, is it possible to sort video, e.g. after searching, in alfabetic order?

No, it's not possible in current version. I'm just wondering why you want the results in alphabetical order, are you having trouble finding the result you are looking for?

Playback on Atlantis 4 Windows works for me too, great work :)
