seems like youtube made a change to their api; i have a few addons i tried to make that scrape video urls from youtube but they either crash or return a directory list with nothing in it.
i made the following change to an addon i worked on ( http://hyper.homeftp.net/xbmc/plugin.vid...dz-abg.zip ) and it works... for now:
hope this helps other coders out there.
thanks,

Code:
def playvid(url):# cause mode is empty in this one it will go back to first directory
print "\n playvid(): url = " + url
html = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
for v in re.finditer('youtube.com/embed/(.+?)?rel', html):
title = v.groups()
if title:
s2 = str(tuple(title))
s2 = s2.replace("('","\"")
s2 = s2.replace("',)","\"")
s2 = s2.replace("?","")
s2 = s2.replace('"','')
print "\n s2 = " + s2
# vid = url.replace("http://www.youtube.com/v/","")
# print "\n vid1 = " + vid
# vid = vid.replace("?autoplay=1","")
# print "\n vid2 = " + vid
html=urllib2.urlopen('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + s2).read().replace(",","\\\n")
for line in html.split("\n"):
if "itag=22" in line:
#print " line = " + line
s2 = line
s1 = re.search('url=(http.+?)\\\\', s2)
sig = re.search('sig=(.+?)\\\\', s2)
yturl = s1.groups() + sig.groups()
yturl = str(tuple(yturl))
print "\n ----- yturl = " + yturl
yturl = yturl.replace("', '","&signature=")
yturl = yturl.replace("%3A",":")
yturl = yturl.replace("%2F","/")
yturl = yturl.replace("%3F","?")
yturl = yturl.replace("%3D","=")
yturl = yturl.replace("%252C","%2C")
yturl = yturl.replace("%26","&")
yturl = yturl.replace("%253A",":")
yturl = yturl.replace("('","\"")
yturl = yturl.replace("')","\"")
# yturl = re.sub("\\\\\\\u0026type.+?sig", "&signature", yturl)
# s1 = s1.replace("\\\\","")
yturl = yturl.replace('"','')
print "\n yturl.replace = " + yturl
