YouTube Plugin

[ACTCMS]

Having done what I needed to get YouTube running on the PC, I've had to change <ForceMpgGraph> to true in order to watch these recordings.

Alex

Alex you said the same thing twice. I recommend the Haali splitter for mpg false.

Martin

Old age doesn't come alone Martin - you are correct of course - I'm now using <ForceMpgGraph>false</ForceMpgGraph>

I didn't get around to installing Haali though - YouTube started to work when I installed LAV.

Either Haali or LAV will work.

Re: NMT playback. I'll add options to limit the NMT streams differently from the PC.

Just to let you know that you are not alone UJB, I get the same symptoms on the NMT... pausing for 10 seconds or so doesn't help either.

I have now found a couple of 1080p streams that are like this for me.

I can't test this on the NMT right now but it should work:

1. Properly parses the available streams so that you can play videos that were previously identified as webm if an mp4 stream is also available ("Safe House - Trailer" for example).
   
2. Sets the default stream type for the PC to "webm" and locks the NMT to "mp4" (since it can't play flv or webm).
   
3. Sets the default stream quality to 1080p for the PC and 720p for the NMT (since it seems to have trouble with some 1080p content... 720p is still excellent quality even on a 110" screen IMO).
   
4. Allows you to press {CTRL}+S (STOP) to change the default stream type on the PC. Choices are WEBM, MP4 and FLV. This is not available on the NMT.
   
5. Allows you to press {CTRL}+K (RECORD) to change the preferred stream quality. Choices are 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p and 240p. This is available on both the PC and the NMT.
   
6. If your preferred quality is not available, it will automatically play the next highest available quality (play 720p if it is available but the prefered 1080p is not).
   
7. Changing the defaults currently does not stick (yet) once you exit NextPVR. You will need to change them again if you close and restart NextPVR.
   

This doesn't currently check for stream types other than the selected default. Later builds will allow fallbacks (ie: play MP4 if WEBM is not available). Of course this will only be for the PC, not the NMT.

I don't have a standard MCE remote, so if the stop/record buttons don't work just post your logs and it will give me what I need to fix it.

This is the dll/pdb files only. You will need the skin/common files from the first post and also Martin's mvpmcx2 from http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post424150

Once I have confirmation of this working, I will update the first post.

Works great.

Properly parses the available streams so that you can play videos that were previously identified as webm if an mp4 stream is also available ("Safe House - Trailer" for example).

The NMT now see a LOT more choices, I haven't noticed any that I want to see that don't play.

Sets the default stream quality to 1080p for the PC and 720p for the NMT (since it seems to have trouble with some 1080p content... 720p is still excellent quality even on a 110" screen IMO).

Yes it defaults to 720p nicely. The stuttering video (Drake) works fine at 720p. I can still switch to 1080p and Katy Perry plays fine I guess I am lucky.

Allows you to press {CTRL}+K (RECORD) to change the preferred stream quality. Choices are 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p and 240p. This is available on both the PC and the NMT.

Worked fine.

Changing the defaults currently does not stick (yet) once you exit NextPVR. You will need to change them again if you close and restart NextPVR.

The defaults are good.

This doesn't currently check for stream types other than the selected default. Later builds will allow fallbacks (ie: play MP4 if WEBM is not available). Of course this will only be for the PC, not the NMT.

The NMT does play .3gp if you come across them from the mobile streams.

I don't have a standard MCE remote, so if the stop/record buttons don't work just post your logs and it will give me what I need to fix it.

Once I have confirmation of this working, I will update the first post.

I think it is definitely ready.

Great! I'll package it up and update the first post tomorrow. I'm pretty beat.

If you do happen to come across a video that does not have an MP4 stream, according to Google, you should check back later because they will be available (they transcode all videos to all formats, only quality may be limited).

re 3gp streams: I actually get the links to those when I download the list. I don't need to parse the video page to get them. I've ignored them however they are all 176x144 rtsp:// streams and not worth including IMO. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/...l#formatsp

Great plugin! It would be nice thou with a Search function

Make sure to put a note on the page with a date or something....or post here that it is updated.

I'm still seeing the play/pause problem on the NMT even if I go to 360p.

Strangely, as I reduce the quality setting for a particular stream (I'm using 'Adele - Rolling in the Deep' from Top Favorites') the play sections get longer, but the pauses get longer too.

The same stream plays perfectly on the PC which suggests to me that it's not a broadband throttling problem... maybe a LAN problem - duff cable or port?
