[PLUGIN] YouTube2

This is what I sent to miniDSP:

The Volumio is apparently a special version running on SHD Studio, right?
Well Volumio refuses to update the Youtube2 plugin to the new version.
When I enable the DEV mode, I click TRUE to enable develop test mode so that the newer version of youtube2 plugin shows up, which is version 1.2.2. HOWEVER when I click DETAILS it WILL NOT show the newest version, and will only show version 1.1.5:

When I go to DETAILS it shows:

IF I enable the DEV option by going here: [image]

I get to this screen and click the first TRUE:

THEN when I go to uninstall Youtube2 plugin, it then shows version 1.2.2 as the plugin:

But it REFUSES to install 1.2.2 VERY ANGRY about this!!!

After install it still shows version 1.1.5
Here is what I get after clicking INSTALL where it CLEARLY shows version 1.2.2:

NO, it doesn’t show version 1.2.2 it SHOWS VERSION 1.1.5!!!

MIND you, I had two SHD Studios, and this new one that I just setup and updated to Volumio version 3.XXX is doing the SAME thing.

So you ask, click the UPDATE button. Well it shows a progress bar and says it updated, but it STILL SHOWS version 1.1.5 AFTER the supposed ā€œupdate.ā€
And yes, I Did a Volumio restart after uninstalling the 1.1.5 version, then enabled DEV, then tried installing version 1.2.2.

So NO, it isn’t a need to do a FACTORY RESET. It’s an issue with Volumio for the SHD Studio.

Please, can you fix this so the new version of Youtube2 plugin is properly installed?
It may be an issue with firmware, or the OS of the SHD Studio.
Sincerely disappointed and very upset about this because now I cannot browse Youtube and listen to favorited Youtube music via my SHD Studio.

Hi Volumioappisbuggy,

concerning your message to mininDSP, on one hand you wrote

ā€œWhen I enable the DEV mode, I click TRUE to enable develop test mode so that the newer version of youtube2 plugin shows up, which is version 1.2.2. HOWEVER when I click DETAILS it WILL NOT show the newest version, and will only show version 1.1.5ā€

but on the other hand

"IF I enable the DEV option by going here: [image]

I get to this screen and click the first TRUE:

[image]

THEN when I go to uninstall Youtube2 plugin, it then shows version 1.2.2 as the plugin**emphasized text"

But wait, you wrote, when I go to uninstall Youtube2 plugin, i.e. you means in the installed plugins screens it looks like this?

Later on you wrote

After install it still shows version 1.1.5
Here is what I get after clicking INSTALL where it CLEARLY shows version 1.2.2:

[image]

NO, it doesn’t show version 1.2.2 it SHOWS VERSION 1.1.5!!!

So where from you take the information which plugin version you have installed???

Can you also share your message to miniDSP again but including the screenshots?

In addition it would be helpful to get a little bit more information about what you mean by saying DOES NOT WORK. Right now I even would not exclude that you have installed already v1.2.2 but there’s another issue which comes on top (?). Also to post a Log report might be good in addition.

And again, I like to highlight that plugins are provided by 3rd parties and therefore I think it’s completely wrong to blame Volumio for issues like this (please refer to "What is a plugin and how does it work?).

do you mean plugins test Mode or as you indicate the top test Mode?

please, YT2 v1.2.2 is stable! Stop with test mode…
Uninstall previous if something is wrong but it isn’t required.

I’m sorry for the confusing messages.
I was so upset about this I guess I was not thinking clearly when I was writing.
So the issue is, that it appears the MINIDSP has a Volumio version that it runs in the SHD Studio. This version will not show the 1.2.2 version as installed. It will only show version 1.1.5 as the installed version, but it does hsow version 1.2.2 if you choose to see available plugins.
THE SOLUTION for me was to download the VOLUMIO as an image, put it on a USB drive, and I installed it on a dedicated audio PC. It sounds even better, and I have a current version of Volumio now, which works properly.
I want to thank all of you for responding to my angry rants with patience and concern. I apologize for offending anyone. I really do appreciate it everyone’s help.
So I have alerted miniDSP that it seems their SHD Studio unit running a proprietary version of Volumio, is not correctly installing the new version of the Youtube2 plugin. Nor is the miniDSP version of Volumio updated to the current version of Volumio.
So to recap: my solution was to use a dedicated audio PC, installed the Volumio OS to a USB drive, and install it on the dedicated audio PC. Now life is good!

Also, there are absolutely no issues with the dedicated audio PC running the official Volumio OS, just to be clear. I am running an Intel Xeon processor with a server motherboard and ECU error-correcting RAM. :slight_smile:

plugins test mode.
See my previous reply. I found the solution:
Using Volumio OS and running it on a dedicated PC.

I changed my main profile name as I felt later on that the original name was out of anger and spite, and Volumio does not deserve that. I was just very frustrated. Soo, the issue I am having now is that the Volumio app on my Samsung tablet absolutely will not work after I power down the tablet, then later on power up the tablet to use it to listen to music via Volumio. I have to go into MANAGE APPS > Volumio > Delete cache/ Delete data. THEN after that the Volumio app will immediately find my Volumio PC and work. Or I can uninstall then re-install the app and use it. But as soon as I turn off the tablet, and power it back up, Volumio will no linger find my device on the tablet and I have to either uninstall/re-install, or force delete the cache and data for the app, then it will work. Any help with this?

Sorry to hear this, but however, I believe this is not realated to the Youtube2 plugin and therefore in the wrong chat.

Youtube2 Version 1.2.2 works fine under Volumio 3.757 on a raspi4B with HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC Pro . The bitrate displayed is 160kbps. Changing the bitrate in youtube2 plugin has no effect (presently it is set 19 AUTO)
Can the bitrate be changed?

Sir I just want to ask. During your setup and configuration did you encounter problem? have you seen immediately the plugins in Search Plugins Ta? Because in my case there’s no plugins showing even a single one, it’s already 1 week of trying hard to find a solution but sad to say I didn’t until this moment.

Can you sent a log it might reveal the issue?

This is the log with Bitrate set to 1080p in youtube2 and playing a youtube video "Haydn Die Schƶpfung The Creation Hob. XXI:2-6of 8
http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/CxfvXdE.html

if it’s set to auto it would scale up if possible but so far as i know it’s always a bit rate of 160

Thank you - this is my observation, too and the reason of my post. The bitrate in youtube can be set but this has no influence to the avtual bitrate in Volumio+youtube2

is it still working? i m getting error no results…

Plugins working on Beta testing.
I don’t know why I can’t add a song to the queue just by clicking on the song directly. There are supposedly dots for the menu, but clicking on them shows nothing.
The problem occurs regardless of the volumio version.

I also have the same problem

@patrickkfkan maybe another update of the API?

There is definitely a problem!
Clicking on Youtube2 icon returns the error ā€œNo resultsā€

Here is the log:

Yeah, yes, there is a problem.

I have 3 pi running volumio 3.757 with YouTube2 version1.2.2. They are all giving ā€œError No resultsā€

Any solution or workaround?

Thanks
