Sidecar Playlist op via rustypipe playlist(). Returns playlist metadata
block (id, name, channel, video_count) + items array. Verified live
against LTT's 'Consumer Advocacy' (PL8mG-RkN2uTzwoF72GqeqAJMI-N7scqtI):
returns the single video with full metadata.
Addon ?action=playlist&id=PL... lists items via _add_video_items reuse.
Verified via Files.GetDirectory JSON-RPC.
resources/settings.xml gains a 'dash_enabled' toggle (boolean, default
off). main.py checks ADDON.getSettingBool('dash_enabled') OR the
TORTTUBE_DASH env fallback before attempting the DASH path. Toggle via
Kodi Settings → Add-on settings → torttube, OR via
Addons.SetSettings JSON-RPC.
docs/upstream.md: filed a 'watching' entry for rustypipe PR #77
(Schmiddiii's late-May YouTube parsing fixes) with our independent
test data — player(), search(), and channel_videos() all still work
against current YouTube on 0.11.4, suggesting the PR fixes code paths
torttube doesn't yet exercise. Endorsement comment pending: gated on
creating a Sulkta-Coop codeberg account.
Observation from kodi.log: plugin.video.youtube successfully parsed a
DASH MPD with 26 streams via inputstream.adaptive on this same Pi —
proves DASH is solvable on our setup, just need to match the URL
pattern they use. M7 stabilization carrying forward.
Addon version 0.0.9.

Investigation notes (not yet a PR — to be evaluated)
- inputstream.adaptive —
file://not supported by libcurl downloader (kodi addon, xbmc/inputstream.adaptive on github) Hit during torttube M7 DASH work 2026-05-23. Loading an MPD from a local filesystem path viafile:///storage/.kodi/temp/torttube/<id>.mpdfails withCURLOpen returned an error, download failed. Common workaround is a localhost HTTP server (plugin.video.youtube does this). Worth filing an enhancement request to either acceptfile://or document the recommended pattern. - Kodi — "Logic error due to two concurrent busydialogs" fatal
Reproduced during rapid back-to-back
Player.Opencalls while a previous play's BusyDialog was still dismissing. Log message itself says "this is a known issue", but the app HARD-exits rather than silently dropping one of the dialogs. Look up the upstream tracker before filing.

| rustypipe | PR #77 | "Some fixes" (Schmiddiii) | Targeted fixes for YouTube changes ~2026-05-21: video metadata parsing (channel-tag removal) + duration parsing (thumbnail overlay field renames). +15/-11 across 2 files. Stalled in CI-needs-approval. We've independently verified rustypipe-0.11.4 (which predates this PR) still works for player(), search(), and channel_videos() against current YouTube as of 2026-05-23 — Rick Astley video, LTT search returning 19 results, LTT channel browse returning 30 videos. Suggests the breaks PR #77 targets are in code paths we don't exercise. TODO: comment on the PR with this test data + offer to mirror to GitHub if codeberg CI stays blocked. Gated on creating a Sulkta-Coop codeberg account. |

Posture
- Every sidecar bug we trace ends with one question: is the root cause in rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp? If yes, fix it there first; pull the fix into our sidecar via dep bump or backport.
- We are not pretending to be on the rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp maintainer level. We're a downstream consumer that does its share.
- A merged PR > a forked patch. A fork is the last resort, not the first move.
