  • Hi,

    I have latest Kodi version. Latest version of youtube addon (installed from zip). Lates version of adaptive inputstream addon.

    API things is installed. I see youtube purchace folder and even see film I bought.

    I try to start the video. Kodi thinks some time like it happens for free videos but... all things is stopped in ~ 5 sec.

    Please look at logs below.

    Yes i see

    ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/

    I also noted that inputstream.adaptive in other directory btw (/storage/.kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive)

    I tried to create symbol link but /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/ is read-only filesystem.

    Oh... So many issues to get video I bougth at kodi :(

    Please advice.

    Btw, may be you know any other addon with paid videos ? MEGOGO or something... I jus want pay and get film quickly.

  • I use Yatse many years. Yes, it can send youtube link to kodi and kody will playback. But it work only for free youtube video.

    My issue with paid youtube videos that I bought (rent) and want to playback at Kodi (Libreelec).

    By the way... Is it works for somebody here ?

  • I'm not the master dev here, but I see some stuff.

    This doesn't seem to work. The Youtube dev could take a look into that.

    Some GoogleVideo URL couldn't be found (anymore).

  • Thanks! But... Does paid youtube videos work for you in general ?

    I saw this issue already but currently no sure it works for somebody. Don't want to spend time more for an unattainable goal.
