= Creating a usefull debug log =
 
*WARNING!! if you're making a debug log with the plugin from eden-pre branch (v.2.6.x) be sure to remove any eventual passwords as due to an error this is currently written to the log if the plugins debug mode is enabled.*
 
Typically users will report errors with descriptions that lack many important details. While we take all user reported errors seriously, its often is impossible to help if without a proper debug-log, this guide will take you through the steps to create such a log. 
 
As such, if you want any help with this issue you must follow these steps.
# Open the plugin and go to "Advanced" in settings, enable "Plugin debug" and confirm.
# Find your debug Log here:
* Linux::
  $HOME/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
* Mac OSX:
  $User/Library/Logs/xbmc.log
* Windows 7 & Vista:
  \Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\xbmc.log
# Upload your debug log to http://pastebin.ca/upload.php ( Do NOT upload part of the log, we need the ENTIRE log. The easiest method is through the link provided).
# Post a message [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=79487 in this thread] with your debug log, and with your selected installation method ( Install from zip / Manual install / From repository ).
 
If you have problems following the guide, please ask on the [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=79487 forum thread] and we will help you through it.
 
= How To: Installing the plugin =
Install the plugin through the XBMC add-on repository.
 
= Known problems =
* One of the main features of the plugin is that it defaults to thumbnails view for video items.
  This only works when using the default "Confluence" skin as the plugin
  is dependent on the Id defined for confluences thumbnails view.
 
* [http://www.youtube.com/ YouTube] also supports exposing videos through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_Streaming Adobes RTMPE Protected streaming protocol].
  Playback support of this protocol requires the latest Eden build.
  Downloading videos served with this protocol is not supported.
 
= Reporting a bug =
If you are having problems with the plugin or just have a query please do read the documentation and do a search on the XBMC plugin forum thread before posting.
 
If you believe you have found a bug or would like to request a feature then create a new post in the [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=79487 YouTube support thread].
 
Please make sure you post a [http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:YouTube#Creating_a_usefull_debug_log Usefull debug log].
