buffer problems in nearly each video #883

Closed damnms closed 2 years ago

damnms commented 2 years ago

hi, first of all: thanks for that great addon. it was working for a long time now but since a couple of weeks i noticed that nearly every video i start i get heavy buffering. when i watch the same video from my workstation (same router/connection), it works like a charm. when i restart those videos 3-4 times in the kodi addon, then somehow it starts to work. any idea what i could do to workaround that, except restarting the videos?

You YouTube addon version is now out of date. To solve your problems please update to the latest Alpha 6 version from here: https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases/tag/6.x.x-dev

If you need help chosing which version to use, or if you wish to add other Repos for the YouTube addon (eg: the Testing Repo for Alpha versions) please see the following post in the Official Kodi YouTube support thread here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=356934&pid=3064138#pid3064138

Please note that since the Alpha 3 version you will be required to login again - twice. (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=356934&pid=3065230#pid3065230)

@jmh2002 can you tell me whats the difference between "official" and "unofficial" ? i did not find any useful information about that... would maybe make sense to add that information in some wiki on the kodi yt addon page or so...

@damnms Did you click on any of the links in my previous post? The second link clearly explains this, and yes the information is stated in various locations.

thanks, no i did not click the second or 3rd link, only the first one and updated the addon. thanks, i clicked the second link, got the information (i would still publish that in some readme.md or so) and will go with your repo in future, thanks for your effort!
