OnlineVideos 2.5.0.1 [2024/11/17] (9 Viewers)

...
It shows the selection of 1080p, 720p, 360p and 144p resolutions in YouTube in the web browser.
But in MediaPortal Online Videos it immediately plays in 360p without asking for a different resolution.
...

Not an expert of the inner workings of the plugin, but the problem is not that other resolutions are not existing, but in what format. In the Browser you obviously see any available resolution, as the YouTube-player supports any format YouTube serves videos in. The plugin however apparently can so far only handle a format that YouTube has been using for quite some time but seemingly is now in the process of phasing out. The higher resolutions you see in the browser are only available in that 'new' format, that the OnlineVideos-Plugin right now is just not able to process (If I understand it correctly, there are now separate streams for audio and video instead of one stream containing both).

And it still doesn't show the subtitles correctly: always one line instead of two lines, missing 50% of the information.

Fixed it!

There seems to be programs missing from the ARD Mediatek catchup section (Was Lief-Das Erste) for example, yesterday the Charlot Link detective program starting at 20.15 is not listed although it was viewable Live and is shown in the A-Z section. Unfortunately some other programs cannot be found at all for example the Tatort detective series which seems never to be displayed in "Was Lief" and its section in the A-Z always gives an error (Error Loading category videos). I am currently experiencing very poor quality OTA TV reception so using OV catchup as an alternative to recording live TV would be very usefull.

Fixed the tatort issue.
for the other missings in "Was Lief": that could be an api issue in ard...

Youtube doesn't work for me. The error is:

Error starting playback. Connection lost, cannot reopen.

Anybody else?

Youtube doesn't work for me.

Just tested and unfortunately same here

 

[doskabouter]

fixed it.
it is getting harder and harder to find non-adaptive streams there, I might have to prioritize pabliks work for adaptive-playback soon...

 

[catavolt]

fixed it.

Works perfect - THX

New release done today!

Changes/improvements:

• Added support for separate audio and video streams (very big thanks to @Pablik !, now higher resolutions are also available on youtube)
• Added support for multiple subtitles
• Fixed bug in favorites: if folder and single videos were present, fetching subcategories silently crashed

Just a little note for skinners: the new version has a few new skin tags related to LAV buffering (if LAV Source Splitter is used).
If the buffer gets below certain level the playback is paused/unpaused based on current level.
Example for myonlinevideosFullScreen.xml - implements waiting indicator(shows up during buffering):

         <control>
            <description>Working Animation</description>
            <type>animation</type>
            <id>0</id>
            <posX>900</posX>
            <posY>480</posY>
            <width>120</width>
            <height>120</height>

            <visible>string.equals(#OnlineVideos.Buffering)</visible>

Example of additional buffer level description for myonlinevideosOSD.xml file:
