YouTube Plugin

[jksmurf]

Nice plugin thanks!!!

I have it playing fine on the PC now...but I have the "Object Reference not set..." exception (like Sheik Yerbouti) on the NMT.
Any ideas?

One thing in a log (MVP.log.1) is a hard coded path ... F:\Projects\NextPVR\YouTube\Yutube (I don't have that)....

"YouTube: Error getting video streams:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The paths are just references to where the error occurred in the original source code. They won't mean anything to you, but will help whurlston debug whatever's going wrong.

Looking at your YouTube.xml you aren't using ffmpeg it is using raw streaming for both the PC and NMT. Change these to true for ffmpeg.

useBufferForNMT="false" useBufferForPC="false"

Native streaming worked on the NMT originally, I haven't tried it recently.

<General hqThumbs="true" useBufferForNMT="false" useBufferForPC="false" sticky="true">

to

<General hqThumbs="true" useBufferForNMT="true" useBufferForPC="true" sticky="true">

So these changes

Hmmm... no joy....

After changing both settings to true, I ran on PC, then NMT.

Unfortunately while I can see the file grow in the buffer, which it did not do before, song plays, but jumps out after about 20secs, on both.

Changing buffer to false on the PC works fine again (which I did in between the PC and NMT runs).

Something else that happens, is if I hover my mouse pointer over the YouTube/Bufffer dir, it crashes windows explorer without fail. Below the Event Viewer error. Anyone else seen or experienced this?

Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e01da5, faulting module qedit.dll, version 6.6.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e037dc, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0005badf, process id 0x1f78, application start time 0x01cd364671743f7b.

Explorer will crash if trying to render the thumbnail for an invalid/corrupt video file. Windows has had this problem for years. I think there is a registry setting to disable the thumbnail generation feature (or don't browse that folder)

[jksmurf]

OK Thanks, will try and find that setting. The YouTube plugin does seem to generate more invalid files than most though, if buffering is used.

My previously working feed to a track is now throwing an exception; I tried one or two others, some work but some have the same problem?
Another query - The buffer file is in the Buffer dir and works using VLC. Is it supposed to use that if it is there and of so, why doesn't it play it without an exception?
I took out the file to see if it would work without the buffered version - no dice?

A second question - is there a way to make a playlist of your own, from indivdual tracks? I guess it's called a "feed"
Apologies for my ignorance, but I've just been using saved searches, however these take a long time to download the list each time, when I only want one song.

I also have the exception being thrown but I think I uninstalled QT so I putting that back to see if it helps.

For a playlist, I use the feed to my YouTube account favorites in the Custom URLs:
