PlugIn: YouTube (2015)

[brianrent]

OK youtube 2015 is working but the movie trailers button on the video menu still return zero results. Search in the youtube plugin works though. If I use the trailers button then go to youtube plugin then the trailer movie search title is there and there so it is populating it but showing no results.

I was able to get this installed (installs had been failing because it was being looked for at bintray. Justjokin fixed that (thanks!), but I can't get it do actually do anything. When I try to login to Youtube, it says "There was an error logging on." All the menu options give error messages when invoked. (See thread https://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66814). I found this thread & maybe someone here knows how to make this plugin work.

I am a long time SageTV + YouTube(2015) user - years ago migrated it from Win7 to Win10, last year got my YouTube (Google) credentials working - all work reliably, until I accepted the recent plugin upgrade to V1.101. Since then there hasn't been another auto recording of my subscribed channels and can't "Log On Now - There was an error logging on" via the Options -> Manage Your YouTube Account ...

I looked through the SageTV.txt file a bit ... to find "YTeviceAuth.getUsableAccessToken: Could not get access code. Reauthentication needed."
Also ... "YT:Channels.getChannelForId: JSON error.403 : The request is missing a valid API key."

Sure seems that the plugin upgrade hosed my working YT(2015). I read there has been a recent migration of the plug-ins from bintray.com to Github, did something go wrong with that? I tried to downgrade to the last version, was it 1.10? but that doesn't seem possible. Looking for advice and a path to make my YT(2015) whole and working again.

I suggest you post your full log file so someone can review and see if we can help.

I wonder if this has to do with Google going to mandatory 2FA. I got an Email about this being a requirement ... will fully be converted DEC 9.

Regarding Google's switching on mandatory 2FA - I can't see how that would work in Youtube (2015) . I my case, that wasn't the cause of a broken YT (2015) - I discovered that either my plugin upgrade or removing then reinstalling YT (2015) wrote an empty youtube.properties file, over-writing that file which had my oauth information. Simply adding those three lines of credentials fixed it. Now I'm waiting for the quota stuff to be sorted out at midnight ... details of the OAuth stuff in is Jaroch76's post 797 in this thread: https://forums.sagetv.com/forums/sho...=62252&page=40

Yesterday, one of the parts of the youtube plugin failed and disabled itself. So I updated all the elements to the most current one. That for some reason cleared the youtube.properties file and removed all the entries. After updating those it started to work again and find youtube videos. However, the interface is quite slow now and I get the spinny wheel after every button push. I also noticed that the duration of the video is no longer listed (it just has an empty field) and the publish date just says "not available". Has anybody else noticed anything like this?

I looked at the logs this morning and attached those as well. There is a java exception about the file duration and it shows that the UI hangs while browsing the youtube videos. But I am not sure what is causing it specifically. Any pointer would be appreciated.

I was able to figure it out. After combing through the log file and with the help of Google, I learned that the joda jar file was missing. Not sure what caused it to get removed. But I just grabbed it from my server and copied it over in the JAR folder in the SageTV directory and everything went back to normal.

I am running into issues with the YouTube plugin again. I looked through the log files and I think this is the reason:

YT: DeviceAuth.getUsableAccessToken: Could not get access code. Reauthentication needed.

I tried to create a new API key as there was an old post from 2016 where replacing the credentials helped. But creating a new API key did not solve it. I am not sure how I would go about reauthenticating it.

I had no idea this was still working.

Yes, it was working perfectly fine until a few days ago. I tried all sorts of things but could not figure it out yet. What I like about YouTube in SageTV is that you can easily (and quickly) go back and forth without the need for constant buffering.
