=== Unofficial Browser extensions ===
The extensions above are known not to work with the newest YouTube and XBMC Eden and newer.
The following unofficial extensions are available:

* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-xbmc/?src=external-xbmcwiki Send to XBMC]
 
Google Chrome
* [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/play-to-xbmc/fncjhcjfnnooidlkijollckpakkebden Play to XBMC]
* [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/playlist2xbmc/mgajimdehjbpldnldemmfigkepdahkik Playlist2XBMC]

=== Integration with strm files ===
Youtube streams can be integrated into the video library with [[Strm|strm files]].
The syntax for a youtube-URL like <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$VIDEOID</nowiki> is<br />
 
<code>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=$VIDEOID</code>
 
= 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]. But due to missing support for "RTMPE type 10 handshakes" in the [http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/ rtmpdump] library, playback is currently not working.

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
# Paste your debug log to http://pastebin.com/ ( Do NOT upload part of the log, we need the ENTIRE log. )
# Post a message [http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=79487 in this thread] with your debug log.
 
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.
