ANNOUNCE: YouTube Plugin (API v3)

[philippe_44]

I can have a look, but a little bit of a hint from @pippin would be helpful - if you read this thread

[edit]: It seems to me that iPeng, when pressed 'play' on a track, puts the whole album in the playlist. I have to look further, but that's likely the problem as there is no notion of "whole album" there. It seems that there is an empty search made (maybe because the album is empty) in which case the YT API returns "whatever" on an empty query and then you have that funny result. Maybe iPeng queries LMS for the whole album associated to a track, then put that as a playlist and tells LMS to play track N where N was the index of the initial track

This is corrected with version 0.63.0 but this is a workaround for an LMS issue that is corrected in the 7.9.1 nightly of 2018/01/11. Helps as well solving a similar issue with Spotty

Hi and thank you for a great plugin.

But after upgrade to 0.62 it stopped working. It says "Plugin failed to load" under list over active plugins.

The log shows a lot of these error messages:

[18-01-11 12:09:09.6621] Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Slim::Control::Queries::statusQuery]: [Can't locate object method "_pluginDataFor" via package "Plugins::YouTube::Plugin" at /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/YouTube/ProtocolHandler.pm line 605.]
[18-01-11 12:09:09.6638] Slim::Web::JSONRPC::requestMethod (424) Request failed with error: Bad dispatch!

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 running OSMC. OSMC was updated yesterday to latest version using Debian Stretch. After that Logitech Media Server 7.9.0 refuses to start. Tried reinstall, but same issue. Installed latest nightly, 7.9.1 - 1515516449, and then everything was working perfectly again. Including this plugin. But then I got notified that a new version of the plugin has been installed, and a restart of LMS was needed. I restarted, but then the Youtube plugin would not start anymore.

Perl Version, if relevant, is: 5.24.1 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int

Any idea how to fix this? I don't know if it's related to the upgrade of OSMC and LMS, since it was working before the plugin was updated.

Should be solved with 0.63.0

Are you sure it's not already installed but failing to load (look at server.log when restarting LMS)

Hello Philippe, thanks for your help !

I've double checked, there is nothing more related to youtube in plugin list.

Here is what I found in logs about youtube plugin :

Here is what I found in logs about youtube plugin :

I don't know how, but you ended up having a pretty old version of the plugin (should be 0.63.1). Remove-it and re-install, worse case erase the files directly in the plugin directory

[Chestroled]

Work now like a charm.

Thanks very much for all you work from now many years !

Since about 2 weeks it seems that when i press 'play' on a track from the search result list, the complete search result list are copied into the whole playlist.

All works fine for about 1 year.
I use the actually plug in 0.63.1
piCorePlayer 3.22 and LMS on RaspPi 3

First i reinstall the LMS and delete the complete settings. Doesn't help.
Reinstall the complete system and LMS also doesn't help.

Strange is that also the SongInfo and SongText plugins from Erland Isaksson doesn't work now.

The last change i did before was an update of LMS to the newest build. After that the Youtube plugin has this strange behavior.

You mean in iPeng or another controller? This is the expected result from playlist, you have to use the "defeat destructive touch-to-play" option in the Player's settings. There was a bug in LMS that that we corrected with @mherger and @pippin.
If you want only one track to play (and again, depending on the defeat TTP option), you have to long press-it. I think if you try a local album on iPeng (nothing to do with YT, you'll see the same)
