Creating a usefull debug log
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
- Paste your debug log to http://pastebin.com/ ( Do NOT upload part of the log, we need the ENTIRE log. )
- Post a message in this thread with your debug log.
If you have problems following the guide, please ask on the 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.
- YouTube also supports exposing videos through 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 YouTube support thread.
Please make sure you post a Usefull debug log.
