    hi i just ried this on my windows 10 machine but i get no sound only video am i missing som settings?

    I guess your security settings of chrome disabling sound. Please check chorome settings/privacy and security/site settings/contents/additional contents/sound --> Allow sites to play sound enabled if it is disabled you cannot play videos with sound.

    as alternate way you can try my another project youtubetv for windows

    MEGA

    İt is self extract winrar archive you can run it directly or extract with winrar and use it as portable app to login youtube account.

    No virus,malware,adware it is my hobby project.Freeware.

    PS: You must use Alt+F4 to exit.

    Not working using the latest libreelec !

    Chrome is installed

    The addon settings pop-ups and i see “Use Custom chrome/script path off

    I would like to see it work

    I guess path detection script cannot find it. I don't have a device to test/correct it but I'll try virtual system to test/correct. It takes some time I'll inform you here. Meanwhile you can try something. First connect your device with ssh and try run chrome directly from shell. If it is run create a simple bash script like below.

    copy these lines and save as a bash script like ytb.sh

    chmod to executable ( chmod +x ytb.sh)

    Now go to Youtubetv addon setting and use newly created ytb.sh script as chrome executor.

    Here is the script.

    Bash
    #!/bin/bash

chrome --start-fullscreen --disable-translate --disable-new-tab-first-run --no-default-browser-check --no-first-run --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Unknown; Linux armv7l) AppleWebKit/537.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.1+ LG Browser/6.00.00(+mouse+3D+SCREEN+TUNER; LGE; 43LK5760PTA; 04.25.05; 0x00000001;); LG NetCast.TV-2013 /04.25.05 (LG, 43LK5760PTA, wired)" https://www.youtube.com/tv


    I think it should work.

    It was quick but dirty solution.I must find and fix this problem for all users. Helping only you is not a good way. Please wait until I finish my job. I will update add-on soon.

    Add-on updated. Please delete current add-on download new version and install it.

    After installation open add-on settings enable "Use custom Chrome/script path" option.

    Select "Chrome/script path" to browse and select "script.sh" select ok.

    Run add-on and enjoy your smart youtube tv !


    Ps: You must also installed chrome add-on and run it one time before youtube add-on. It will download and install chrome browser to the path


    Did everything but still no luck !!

    I get “Chrome not found”

    I think problem is related with chrome. I'll continue search for it but I have no iptv box. I'm testing on virtualized x86 version of libreelec.

    Chromium working better than chrome because of it supports ARM devices directly.

    I can make a chrome version of add-on that works both x86 and ARM devices.

    Stay tune!

    I am using x86 libreelec build

    I guess I found what is the problem. I was zipped addon in windows this caused changing of file attributes. Shell file not installing as executable.

    I have ubuntu installed laptop at home I'll fix and re-zip when I'm home. Also minor fixes applied. This night I'll update plugin again.

    I've used putty for ssh connetion to my virtual-libreelec changed shell file to executable and it's worked. I hope this time I will success!

    it's working now, great!

    hovewer there are some problems,

    some remote control buttons are not working as expected, volume controls are ignored, back button ignored when you're on main screen, also there's no way to close addon... don't know if possible to map RC buttons to add-on, keymap editor addon from kodi doesn't help here

    My brothers, could someone please inform where is located browser google chrome? It seems to me that it just disappeared from the official repositories of the Libreelectv. Thank-you:(
