Hadn't spotted that ... thanks RMerlin

Still - well worth digging out the telnet/ftp skills & taking a look at all the hard work that has/is going into to getting this to were it is today!!!!!

Great work.

Hi, I have a problem with the firmware 1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.3.1.

I wanted to be on Youtube S00Custom HD switch, but are still unable to play YouTube videos more! There always comes the error message: This video is not currently available.

Then I need the player to factory settings again to see YouTube. Why is that?

# # enable YouTube Switcher (You can only use one at a time!)
# # to enable YouTube HD:
# # *** youtubeHD requires setting YOUTUBE_QUALITY too ***
config_tool-c = YOUTUBE_SWITCHER youtubeHD
# # to enable easynews XViD proxy:
# config_tool-c YOUTUBE_SWITCHER = easynews
# # to disable YouTube Switcher:
# config_tool YOUTUBE_SWITCHER-c =''

# # youtubeHD YouTube Switcher quality setting
# config_tool-c YOUTUBE_QUALITY = 270P
# config_tool-c YOUTUBE_QUALITY = 360P
# config_tool-c YOUTUBE_QUALITY = 480P
config_tool-c YOUTUBE_QUALITY = 720P
# config_tool-c YOUTUBE_QUALITY = 1080P

So I had changed the settings and then it stopped going. What do I do bottle?

@karlson - YouTube changed something again that caused these problems.

Did you use the new version that RMerlin posted?

Where do the file copy? I'll start with the file?

You are asking the questions that are already answered in that very thread to which you are posting them

Sorry, you guys are right, after I re-telnet into the my WDTVLive, the youtubeHD.php file hadn't changed.
I think then, I am applying the changes wrong. These are the steps I am using:

1. Putty into my device, enter with password, then get into youtubeHD.php by pasting:

cd /etc/webend/youtube-proxy/

cp youtubeHD.php /conf

cd /conf

nano youtubeHD.php

(This is where I get lost, so I proceed to:)

2. Delete the original "function getvideo() {..." and replace it with the script on page 13.

3. Control X to save the modified "youtubeHD.php" file?

I apologize this is pretty basic to some of you, and I haven't done this in a while. I vaguely remember a mount -o option. I ssh into my iPhone4 every few days, whereas telnet into the WDTVLive?... maybe every few months so I'm lost.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks everyone! I got this fixed, even as a total noob. As my contribution, here's a compiled list of steps update with the new paths:

Log into putty

cd /usr/share/webend/youtube-proxy/

cp youtubeHD.php /conf

cd /conf

nano youtubeHD.php

find the “function getvideo” section, delete,

copy: code quoted below

Go back to putty, right click to paste and hit enter.

Ctrl-X to exit, yes to save changes

Copy: mount -o bind /conf/youtubeHD.php /usr/share/webend/youtube-proxy/youtubeHD.php


Go back to putty, right click to paste and hit enter.

EACH TIME you pull the power cord you'll have to run the final step (mount -o) again, until b-rad reissues his excellent firmware.

Here's a fully functional (as far as I can tell) fix. This uses the new format parser by ramanvijay, with a few fixes:

• Adapted to up-to-date youtubeHD code
• Fixed fallback to lower resolution if the one requested is not available
• Implemented SD fallback if no supported resolutions are available

Code: Select all

function getvideo() {

      $url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" . $_GET['id'];
      $html = file_get_contents($url);

      if(preg_match('/&fmt_url_map=([^&$]*)/', $html, $fmt_url_map)) {

       foreach(explode(',',urldecode($fmt_url_map[1])) as $var_fmt_url_map) {
          list($yt_qlty,$yt_url) = explode('|',$var_fmt_url_map);
          $hash_qlty_url[$yt_qlty] = $yt_url ;
       }

       $quality = "270P";

       if (file_exists('/conf/config')) {
         $config = file_get_contents('/conf/config');
         if(preg_match('/YOUTUBE_QUALITY=\'(.+)\'/', $config, $config_quality)) {
            $quality = $config_quality[1];
          }
        }

        $quality_map = array('1080P' => 37, '720P' => 22, '480P' => 35, '360P' => 34, '270P' => 18);
        $quality_map_values = array_values($quality_map);

        $index = array_search($quality_map[$quality], $quality_map_values);
        while (!isset($hash_qlty_url[$quality_map_values[$index]]) && ($index < (count($quality_map_values) - 1))) {
          $index++;
        }

        $quality = $quality_map_values[$index];
//        exec("logger -t YoutubeHD 'Q:".$quality." U:".$hash_qlty_url[$quality]."'");

        if ($hash_qlty_url[$quality]) {
            echo "<?xml?><entry><media:group><media:content url='" . str_replace('&', "&amp;", $hash_qlty_url[$quality]) . "' yt:format='3'/></media:group></entry>";
        } else {
            echo "<?xml?><entry><media:group><media:content url='" . str_replace('&', "&amp;", ($_SESSION['id_' . str_replace("-","_",$_GET['id'])])) . "' yt:format='3'/></media:group></entry>";
        }

      }
    }

put the mount command in

Code: Select all

/conf/S99user-script

and you don't have to enter it after each reboot!
