No problem with my google account, I can authenticate, browse my playlist and perform search within YouTube...
I update my raspberry, checked SSL packages...

Could you help me search what could be wrong ?

Thanks for this great plugin and your help,
Vincent

You need to provide a bit more logging info by setting "(player.source) - Player Source Audio & Conversion Logging" to info at least and tell us what is your player. Verify that ogg transcoding is not disabled and what is your LMS version

There has been so many changes in LMS with 8.1.1 for opus and audioscan that I think you really should start form that version. I expect it'll become official in a not so distant future, so this is really the version to go, where we have all invested efforts. Now, from there; if it still does not work then we can investigate

**vhenninot** · 2021-01-13, 08:16

Dear Philippe,

I’m really sorry I didn’t check that first !
I remembered to have automatic update checking, but i think it doesn’t work since months !!

Everything is working fine now regarding YouTube plugin.

Best regards,
Vincent

**networx** · 2021-01-24, 03:56

Facing heavy buffer probs today with all songs i try. They play for about 10s than rebuffering for 5s, playing for 10s and so on.

Anyone has the same prob?

PLugin is 0.127.0
LMS 8.2.0 1611417898 @ QNAP

additional infos: maybe a problem with AAC streams? Radio stations with AAC stream showing the the same probs. MP3 works.

I have the same issue and looking at your log I have the same error entry:

Hi Philippe ,

Just wondering if it would be possible to add option to force always playing from beginning if file was previously started.
I have mapped subscribed channel to SB Radio Preset buttons and if podcast episode was previously started YT plugin skips it . I assume because Youtube asks if I want to play from previous position or beginning. As YT plugin is not able to answer, it just skips/tries another file. That's my guess anyway.
Don't know if there is a way to overcome that behaviors, but perhaps an option to "always force from beginning" would work for some people? What do you think?
Many thanks!

I just realized that you might have your cake and eat it. It seems that there is a way to have the "play" icon to play from beginning *and* a link to go one level down to have choice. I'll verify it works with controllers as well.
