YouTube Plugin

[macgyver]

I'm having the exact same issue as macgyver describes & I also don't have the Interop Assemblies folder on this machine.... but for me when it does have those ie fails to locate (which I only see when testing on the PC) it upsets the NMT quite a lot & at times requires a re-boot to get out of it, so it's not quite such a small issue from my point of view.

Just to say that I don't have any issues with NMT - it just goes back to the list and I can select another to try.
I don't get the 403 message, I only get that when running on the PC.

I should say I haven't tried with the new version on the NMT so I can't say what mine does now, but with the previous version it would lock for me 3 times out of 5 & the logs seemed to indicate a similar issue causing it..... I will give it a try again tomorrow on the NMT & see what it does now for me.

Try this Youtube.dll (You can delete the Microsoft.*.dll files I had you place in plugins\common)

Well the IE errors have gone, but I still get 403.

Are you still caching the scripts? If you are, try deleting the contents of the scripts folder. If not (or if that doesn't fix it), I am going to need that html dump:

Sorry, didn't see the logs. Can you do the following:

Delete the contents of the script folder
Remove the double slash "//" from the line in parser.aspx that has "htmldump.txt"
Try to view a video.
Zip and post the htmldump.txt that gets written to the web/public/youtube folder along with the scripts folder.

Edit: Never mind. It's still looking for that mshtml.dll file. Back to banging my head on the wall....

Just a heads up guys. This version of the plugin uses V2 of the YouTube Data API which was officially deprecated on March 14, 2014. This means that Google can pull the plug on the API on March 14 of this year.

I am currently working on a new version that will use the V3 API but in order to use it, I had to register for a developer key and agree to certain terms, one of which prevents the continuance of NMT Mode.

That said, I have been working on built in player that will allow native Flash/HTML5 within NextPVR. This will allow for:

1. dynamic stream quality changes
   
2. the ability to view closed captions
   
3. the ability to resume a video at a specific point without having to wait for the buffer to catch up from the start.
   
4. the ability to adjust the speed of the video from 1/4 to 2x speed (HTML5 only).
   
5. the ability to play entire playlists (custom or preexisting) and skip to previous/next video.
   
6. complete elimination of the need for parser.aspx.
   

There will also be a couple of other features like contributing to a "Most viewed by NPVR users" list. Basically, when you watch a video, a simple anonymous count will be incremented for that video. No personally identifying information will be sent and it will be completely optional. You could then retrieve a list of the 100 most viewed videos by other plugin users. I might also include some type of NPVR user ratings system.

I will post more details in the coming weeks.

Thanks... so playing on NMT will be gone.... but we could still play via NPVR Web Interface (i.e. via Kodi and x-newa)?

For Kodi/X-NEWA, there will be no change in functionality at all. Currently, I just pass the url for video's main page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvuilEBK_6I and Kodi/X-NEWA takes care of the rest. I will have to discuss with Fred what he needs for his webclient.

The only things really affected will be PC clients (which will use the new player) and NMT's. If NMT's can play youtube videos externally, I can do something there. I can't remember what functionality it has outside of an NPVR client.

I have no idea why I have the following in the NMT source but that must be the trick Try passing the Player API the full http URL with a trailing &file=null.mp4

Code:

                    char *whurlston = strstr(current,"&file=null.mp4");
                    if (whurlston != NULL ){
                        *whurlston = 0;
                    }

You might need to tiny url it too because of the Hauppauge API limit of 128 characters.

That was a workaround that you and I had in place for some reason. I don't remember what the reason was now.

Edit: it was to allow NPVR to stream it to the NMT: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post424138

It got appended to the actual stream url after parsing.
