Can no longer watch videos from Youtube

[broadband412]

Hi, I am helping a friend who is having trouble watching videos from youtube on gbpvr. When she clicks on a video she wants to watch after searching for one, nothing happens. She used to be able to click on a video and the video would start playing. Now when she clicks on a video to watch, nothing happens. What could have gone wrong. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Can anyone help? Thanks.

Zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

The system has to completely download the video before it transcodes it and plays it. Are you waiting long enough for the video to start?

Hi, the videos seem to no longer download. Sub, here are hte logs.

Unfortunately youtube have changed their website, effectly breaking this plugin. I'll try to fix it for the next release. Plugins like this that rely on page scraping data like this are always at the mercy of the site they get the data from. Changes can break them easily.

Is it possible when you fix the plugin to allow it to name to temp file with the name of the video rather than random alphabets.

Maybe, though I dont think I'll have time for that by the next public release.

Great plugin; thanks for working on it. You might consider developing against the APIs in future versions. That should help avoid issues with the screen scraping. API docs are available at the following URL.
