Additional Information

All the other item types work as intended. As soon as you add 'vod' to the list, it will fail to load the content with the above error.

You are getting an error because the plugin VFS directory listing for the provided url is empty.

It is empty because you are filtering out all available results.

vod is Videos On Demand i.e. the vast majority of the videos on YouTube that aren't live streams.

It is used internally by the plugin, but is probably not something you want to filter out.

Ah, I thought the vod item type was actually those listings for Youtube Movies that would be paid (rent/buy).

These result in "Video is not available" issue when trying to play them.

For example:

Haven't looked into paid videos. Can you post a log snippet of trying to play one of them so I can get the id of the video?

This is the same item as the one from the screenshot, the paid video ID of Deadpool 2016.

Doesn't seem possible to identify paid videos. Can identify if a video containes licensed content, but while all paid videos appear to be licensed, not all licensed videos are paid.

What about manually blocking the uploader's channel ID?

For example, YouTube Movies (not sure about TV shows, but it may be a similar channel).

MoojMidge commented 1 month ago

That is an option, but from what I can see it is not quite that simple.

I think there are other channels that offer this type of content, and not all the content on that specific channel is paid.

Would videoSyndicated=true parameter have the desired effect?

MoojMidge commented 1 month ago

I don't believe so. Doesn't seem to be linked afaics
