Deleted youtube plugin from addon folder as well repositry comprising youtube addon, because youtube old version persistantly appeared even after master zip file installed. Instaled master version again and after sign in I was able to see main youtube screen. Problem now is that For popular right now & Browse channels, Unkown kind” message box appear under “exception in content provider banner”. Clicking on “search” brings Error: script failed. video. plugin. youtube master. clicking “Live” gets to next pages with play back failed error or title gets highlighted but nothing happens. Please pl. help.

Thanks man, your solution did it. I did not have to reinstall the plugin, just do the initial setup! Great!

In reply to StepH. Did you mean there is some sound distortion? On my Raspberry pi 2 I've noticed a second or so of distortion at the beginning of some clips. It's probably a hardware limitation as it buffers enough stream & starts decoding. The first few seconds of video playback are demanding on any system as the file needs to be opened, key frames & details checked & playback initiated. I'd be looking at your hardware & general network settings to tweak both. You could also set a large buffer in Kodi to buffer more content. This would have the added bonus of giving the hardware time to catch up with itself before beginning playback.

Dear John,

I managed to install the plugin and connect to youtube, I used is to watch music clip but at start of each new title music derails for 30 seconds then it’s ok. is it a youtube limitation or plugin problem ?

Note, issue is not related to network, I’ve made test and comparaison.

Thanks for your support

Hi, I have KODI loaded on Windows and I can’t find the YouTube folder. I can navigate to the profile but the add-ons folder only contains a file called RSS Feeds

I am so glad this worked. I needed to turn off auto-updates so it did not update to the broken version.
