well i have no password filled in because i never use the favourites
but nasa or tedtalks nothing worked no picture no sound

The id / password question was meant for wlgspotter - nothing to do with your problem.

That is interesting that you can play you tube mp4 streams on YouTube but cannot play NASA or TedTalks. Maybe post a graph of your working YouTube stream?

Hi all I'm using streamed MP and all my channels are working fine.

 

[wlgspotter]

@wlgspotter - are you absolutely sure the password and id are good and you have some favourites added? Maybe double check through the web interface. Failing that, try posting logs.

Well yes I'm absolutely sure it's correct. Tried it through the web interface and I managed to pull stuff off.

I'll give it another go tonight, and will post the logs if it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Is there a way to bookmark few of my common youtube searches?
I usually watch a bunch of regular TV shows on youtube, what I used to do on XBMC is to let the plugin fetch my search url and display the video returned from the url.

Does Online Video allows to add something like the following to the favorites or as a new site?
YouTube - spongebob

I found a way to convert youtube searches to RSS feeds as per YouTube Feeds
But now the problem is when I add an RSS feed for the search, it doesn't show any video.
The RSS feed I'm trying is,

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq=spongebob

And the line I added to youtube site is,

<Category xsi:type="RssLink" name="Test1">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq=spongebob</Category>

Anyone knows what is wrong?

EDIT: more info
Running Wireshark, I captured the html request and response for my RSS feed as requested by OnlineVideo.

Seems like some version mismatch issue, Other than that I have no idea which version is this refering. I'm hoping someone would be able to figure it out.

EDIT: Finally got it solved.
Just needed to replace vq= with q=

If anyone is interested, you can convert your custom youtube search urls to rss feeds as described

http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/01/youtube-feeds.html

And if your url happens to be using vq= query type, Replace it with q= query. Add it to OnlineVideo xml file as rss feed.

I've tried again tonight, but it still does not work.

I've attached my logs (have removed some info to keep the file size down, but hopefully I didn't missed out any parts related to OnlineVideos).

Well, I think you can probably see for yourself that an exception is being thrown:

2009-07-27 20:11:03.875000 [Info.][MPMain]: OnMessage exceptionystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at OnlineVideos.GUIOnlineVideos.OnClicked(Int32 controlId, GUIControl control, ActionType actionType)
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)

Unfortunately, probably like you, I don't know why. Hopefully offbyone can offer some further help.:sorry:

 

[wlgspotter]

That's OK globaldonkey. Thanks for your help anyway - it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you give me just your your username at youtube so I can reproduce the error on my machine. It must be a problem with a specific video, because the error comes from getting the infos for one video (might have no thumb or no duration). I will put some error checks around that anyway, so one video with less info won't block the others from showing. Will be in next version.

Hi offbyone,

While you are here, I'm having some problems with some mp4 streams on youtube. Here's an example (there are several doing the same thing):

http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=hiPR6kA4_iU&t=&fmt=18&ext=.mp4

I can't play it in MP, and when I try to download it, I get the thumbnail saved, but a 0kb mp4 file in my saved files location.

I also can't render the url in MPC-HC.

This link appears under the HD Content catagory - it's the Alice in Wonderland trailer.

This seems to be youtube issue. Link to this file provide 0kb mp4 file output.
