Display MoreI decided to implement the 'worst' fix for exteplayer3 as described in my earlier post, although ungraceful it will work on a wider range of systems. I've tested it locally and it works as expected but your mileage may vary, so for anyone feeling brave enough...
I'd recommend been on a recent version of the plugin (the file I've modified is from git1265). Extract the provided file "YouTubeUi.py" and place it into the plugin directory. For me this was "/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/YouTube". Restart the box to allow the plugin to be reloaded. You can now select 'exteplayer' as your media player in Setup and playback will work as normal.
I'd also recommend that you enable "AAC software decoding" for each exteplayer listed in ServiceApp as I'm pretty sure this is what allows it to handle the new 'AAC-LC-SBR' encoding that YouTube are using, this will probably fix some of the audio problems people have reported.
Lastly, I submitted the issue to OpenVix and they've applied a patch so their next update should remove the need for any of this. I'm not sure where things stand on other systems.
