Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.1 - r33750
YouTube (v0.14)

Same problem as before, namely, timer counts up for a few seconds then resets to zero and stops. Song title and thumbnail display okay, so something obviously works, but no music ever plays, not even for the first few seconds.

SOLUTION: I removed triode and ipeng servers from my "additional repositories" list. I unchecked the YouTube (v0.14) plugin on the server settings page then restarted. Then I went back to the plugins page, re-checked YouTube, answered yes to the install question, and restarted again. Now it works. Note that these same steps were unsuccessful until I removed triode and ipeng servers from my "additional repositories" list. This is a bit confusing, as the displayed version was definitely v0.14 and not v0.13, but I'm glad to have it working again.

Maybe the server is getting confused because if you've got the iPeng repo in there it finds the same plugin twice. The plugin is in the iPeng reo AND in the default "3rd party plugins" repo so you can permanently remove the iPeng repo.

I uninstalled and then re-installed the YouTube plugin and it seems to be working again!! I never had other alternative repos listed.

Dear All,

I am running YouTube Plugin v0.14 on a Synology NAS (DS109+, DSM4.0-2018, Logitech Media Server 7.7.1-001) + Logitech Squeezebox Duet.

When I select a youtube clip, the artwork and other info is displayed correctly (though the clip length seems to be 0:00 until I press play, then it would display the correct length), however, there is no sound at all and the playback stops after some 3-5 seconds and goes back to the beginning.

Many Logitech versions ago I used to be able to run the plugin successfully at least once, yet then it started to produce the same symptoms as described. This would tell me that the Synology hardware is theoretically able to handle the issue.

I tried the several suggestions found in this forum (ie. uninstall/reinstall the plugin, look for any other ipeng/... repo and if found, uncheck/remove them), yet the problem exists.

Since this plugin would "crown" the Squeezebox functionality, I would be very-very grateful for any fix or update.

Thank, peace

This plugin might be upsetting google, although not quite on the same scale

Interesting that people use YouTube as a source of music for real ? I liked this plugin for novelty value and party tricks, playing fun stuff found there .
but most videos sound horribly bad even on the computer speakers ? Or on a boom or radio .

Wonder if the plugin really broke the ToS ,you are only streaming and no ripped file aviable , it works by streaming the whole video ,but the visual content is only enjoyed by the gremlins inside your server , so the yes video and audio separates before presentation to the cloth eared YouTube aficionado but you could just turn off your computer screen to ? When using it on the pc .
But If the video was directed at a graphic resource on the server/pc ? What gives can anyone force you to connect a monitor.

YouTube Plugin v0.14 seems to be exhibiting the same issues that users experienced back in February. I have noticed this today. Can anybody else confirm that they are having the same troubles?
Everything works but the streaming of the clip. It plays a couple of seconds (no sound can be heared, though), and then it stops.

I noticed the problem today (on different hosts and on different LMSs) - Please, god, this app is so great. Hope there are Perl specialists out there who can fix this quickly.
