Sorry to hear it's returned, the information on obtaining a debug log can be found @ https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file

I turned on logging and replicated the error. Unsure how to get the log file to you. Where is it? Should I paste it to pastbin and post a link here or send to you privately? Please help. Thank you.

[anxdpanic]

easiest way is to use https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Kodi_Logfile_Uploader

[anxdpanic]

or https://paste.kodi.tv/

[whisperdancer]

Is this the log file? $HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

[anxdpanic]

that would be the one

Thanks, that's hopefully enough information,. Will take a look at the code next chance I get. No immediate fix though sorry. :/

update, it appears to be my vpn that is causing the issue. To help troubleshoot, I used a vpn from a different provider and works fine. No errors. All videos play fine. I'm currently working with the vpn provider support to try and determine what is blocking the streams from playing.

Seeing the same issue with PIA vpn. If you disconnect vpn, the addon works normally. I am not sure if the problem lies with the vpn or with the addon.

Update. As I mentioned in a previous comment 23 days ago, I switched to a different vpn provider and the "no stream found" error went away. Worked fine for last 23 days. Today, getting the "no stream found" error again so now same error with 2 different vpn providers. I noticed codesnk also is seeing same issue with PIA provider (not one I'm using). So, now confirmed 3 vpn providers throwing the "no stream error" Hoping for a resolution. Thank you!

Can also confirm that this issue occurs on my systems as well. For the record, I am using ProtonVPN. It started happening approx. two days ago (14-Jun-2021). The YouTube plugin had no issues streaming content over the same VPN before this.

FWIW–downloading the identical streams (omitting the plugin.video* part of the URL) using “youtube-dl” over the same VPN connection works fine. (i.e https://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v)

Strike that – “no streams found” is thrown regardless of whether one is accessing through a VPN or not.
(incorrectly assumed I had the same issue as @whisperdancer & @codesnk)
