= 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 Debug Log with debug enabled (can be found under plugin settings) with your report.
