YouTube Plugin

The mp4 streams have H.264 video and AAC audio which ffmpeg just remuxes into the TS container. No transcoding had to be done which is why we can buffer it on the fly.

If anyone wants to play around, this patch has a couple of experimental features:

Changes to list generation code to improve list download speed. (This build does not have the 250 max item limit but Google caps it at 1000.)
Uses alternate url for playing a video (This will hopefully improve performance issues for those having trouble with higher quality streams.)

I've found and fixed this bug for the next build. It was related to cookie handling.

Does anyone else have a problem with YouTube currently?
Was working fine last week but now gets stuck at 'buffering' message on NMT and nothing is downloaded. nPVR crashes with no errors in log files (sorry don't have one to upload at present, just seeing if it's only me that has the issue) but event log shows:

EventType clr20r3, P1 nextpvr.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 5069c9b0, P4 system, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4ba85929, P7 1fb2, P8 1bd, P9 system.net.webexception, P10 NIL.

Happens on both PC and NMT. If it's just me and everyone else is still working OK I'll investigate further, something must have changed. I did upgrade to latest 2.5.9 to see if it fixed it but it was broken before.

Cheers

Youtube made a change about the time of your post that breaks the plugin. Attempting to play/download the video through DirectShow or ffmpeg results in a 403 (Forbidden) code from youtube. I plan to look into it this weekend but I've been working on some paying projects (for the first time in over a year) over the past couple of weeks.

My 20 month old son is not happy about not getting to see his videos so it is fairly high priority for me. Big Grin

Hi whurlston, good on you for the work, great to hear. Just checking back on the update, no hurry.

whurlston · 2012-10-27, 05:14 PM

I'll be working on this tonight.

whurlston · 2012-10-28, 12:29 AM

I've figured out the problem and fixed it. I just need to run some test to make sure I didn't break something and I'll upload a patch tonight.

whurlston · 2012-10-28, 05:05 AM

I'll create a full package on Monday and update the first post but here is a patch for now.

1) Videos will now play again.
2) Will no longer crash when using a skin that does not include one for this plugin. The skin.xml from the default skin folder will be used.
3) Improved memory/thread handling of precaching images.
