**In case a certain website does not work for you**
- sendtokodi uses a third-party resolver to extract playable media URLs from your input
- You can choose between [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
  - If you have not changed anything in the addon settings the default is yt-dlp for kodi 19 and above while it is youtube-dl for earlier versions 
- Please search their corresponding issue tracker and make sure that the issue is not already known there but an actual problem with sendtokodi
- In case they have an issue on the topic already, there is nothing we can do but wait. 
  - sendtokodi will automatically be updated as soon as they release a fix.

**Screenshots**
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

**Additional context**
I tried both, yt-dlp and youtube-dl. Same behavior

I am not using Kore, we do not have any notification in our source code which tells you to install youtube and I can not see any traces for sendtokodi in your log (but that might also be the case if you took the wrong section of the log). So I assume Kore tries to playback youtube links with the kodi youtube addon and not with sendtokodi (we do not rely on the kodi youtube addon).

As guessed, the Kore source code seems to send youtube links to the youtube plugin instead to the sendtokodi plugin.

To be completely sure, please try something different than kore from the list of supported apps. I do not have an android device, so I cannot say if the listed third party app really works.

if the alwaysSendToKodi variable in line 249 is true, they send the link to our addon instead of to plugins

see here. https://github.com/xbmc/Kore/blob/44cbc6fe8b49d7b703880e217b1282cce63b482f/app/src/main/java/org/xbmc/kore/ShareOpenActivity.java#L315

they have some kind of option to activate SendToKodi in the App Settings

Awesome, it was really just the toggle in the kore app, issue can be closed. Could you add that to the README?

Done
