They changed something in the Youtube API?
How can we solve it?

djsebfr · March 4, 2018, 9:43am

Hi,

the YouTube plugin don’t working for 3 days…

I tried uninstall it and install it again, same error message : “an error occured while browsing the folder”

thanks

Rees · March 4, 2018, 5:03pm

Based on the log posted above it looks like Google has changed the terms of service for using the API and the dev just needs to go in and accept the new terms. I followed the link myself and it is asking me to accept but I didn’t want to accept on his behalf (assuming it would actually work anyway)

moscher · March 9, 2018, 9:17am

While starting the youtube-Plugin i get a red error in the upper right side:

Browse error An error occured while browsing the folder

i try reinstalling the plugin without success.

djsebfr · March 10, 2018, 1:16pm

hello,
it’s not working anyway.

the dev of the plugin needs to accept the new terms of his project/api.
thanks.

jazzz:

hello!

when i start the youtube plugin in volumio i see only a error message:
“An error occurred while browsing the folder”

Do you have an idea?

thanks
jazzz

Can you show me the logs?

To see the logs connect to your volumio device via ssh and execute
sudo journalctl -f
Then perform the action that causes the error and copy everything from the console.

Thanks for your help.

Stefan

Hello,

I have the same problem with youtube plugin : “an error occurred while browsing the folder”. I even reflash Volumio, the problem persist.
Here are the logs:

Hi all,

the source of the problem is the used API key.

I have informed Cris about this issue.

The plugin works as it should when you grant volumio access to your youtube account because then a different authentication mechanism is used.

Again: when you grant volumio access to your youtube account all it does is listing channels, playlists and vidoes you have subscribed. We are not collecting data or use it in any other way. You can take a look at the source code.

With best regards,
Stefan

chipman · March 11, 2018, 6:38pm

Dear Stefan,

How can I grant the access to the Youtube plugin? I try to add the code (what I see in the plugin’s config) on the google.com/device site but I get an invalid code, try again error.

Thanks.
Peter

Rees · March 12, 2018, 4:17am

Awesome, thanks for the information it is working now. I was always too lazy to enable my account but I will from now on.

I had the same error and the easy fix was to go to the installed plugins page and disable the Youtube plugin, wait about 5 seconds and turn it back on. This made it generate a new code which was valid - it must need to generate a new code every so often after a reboot or after activating the plugin.

chipman · March 12, 2018, 2:45pm

Dear Rees,

Thanks my friend, as you described it was succeeded me too.

It would be advisable to write down the solution in the description of the plugin so that me have to ask for fewer unnecessary questions.

sla89 · March 14, 2018, 6:11pm

There are no unnecessary question. It only shows that the usability of the plugin is not that good at the moment.

But to be honest I had to do a workaround when I have implemented the Google OAuth stuff because there were no features like opening an URL from the configuration page and stuff like that. Now volumio supports that

Seems to be a bug. When I have tested it I have always tried to grant permissions immediately and never waited for several seconds. This could be fixed by calling self.getAccessToken(); before displaying the configuration.

But after the configuration was successful you don’t have to grant volumio access after a reboot, right?

march · March 18, 2018, 7:30am

Hi! First of all congratulations for the plugin, it is brilliant!

I have only a question… I have a playlist with more then 50 songs. Whatever i do, I see only the first 50 songs…

Can you help me?

Tanks a lot

PS
Sorry for my englisch…

sla89 · March 23, 2018, 7:55pm

Have you tried to increase the number of shown videos in the settings?

march · March 25, 2018, 4:27pm

Thanks for the answer!

How can I do it?

FrancescoV · April 1, 2018, 9:46am

Hello, i’d like to use x86 version of Volumio but Main plugins are missing, is there some guide or walthrough to build them ? Or there’s online version ?

Thank you and Happy Easter

chipman · April 1, 2018, 6:56pm

Bad news again.
I got that error:

Apr 01 18:53:30 nappali volumio[872]: error: Daily Limit Exceeded. The quota will be reset at midnight Pacific Time (PT). You may monitor your quota usage and adjust limits in the API Console: console.developers.google.com/a … 3050398935

I don’t understand that because I barely used Youtube today.
Have any suggestions for someone?
Thanks.

Osdieman · April 2, 2018, 6:14am

Hi To All…

since yesterday my youtube plugin stopped working… api key is valid… but the plugin says something about. " An error occured while browsing folder "

i did renew the api code i already uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled… reboot the device but nothing seems to work…
is there any fix for this…??

best regards Osdieman…

sla89 · April 2, 2018, 8:45am

Go to Plugins -> Installed Plugins and there you find Youtube Settings.

I have never tried to use the plugin on an x86 platform. What do you mean with Main plugin?

Yes, I can explain that to you. Currently the youtube plugin uses the free to use Google Youtube v3 API. All users of the plugin use the same API key. That means we (all volumio youtube plugin user) are allowed to create 1.000.000 queries per day. Yesterday we have done 1.000.000 queries. Normally we have about 200.000 to 300.000 (on weekends). So wow. I would never expect that so many people are using my plugin.

To be able to increase this quota I would have to pay for it and I won’t do that, I am sorry. I have already told this Michelangelo a long time ago but I cannot tell you whether the volumio team is willing to to pay for the API usage.

When I have developed the plugin my first idea was that each user has to generate a own key but I think that you cannot expect that from every user for usability reasons.

But when the usage of the plugin will increase and the quota will be reached more often AND the volumio team is not willing to pay for the API usage I will change this.

I will talk with Michelangelo again and explain him the situation.

To decrease the number of queries automatically done I will move the activities list into a folder and query it only when the user wants to see it. That should also improve the usage of the plugin.

Can you send me some logs? On my installation the plugin works as expected. Here are the instructions how to get the log files: volumio.github.io/docs/User_Man … oting.html
