Kodi / extendedinfo : "no youtube id can be found"

Help and Support

Hi,

After upgrading my Vero 4K to the latest version with Kodi 18, only one thing does not work anymore: the “Script.ExtendedInfo” plugin, which relies on the Youtube-dl sub-component.
I’m using it to watch cinema movies trailers.

When I click a movie trailer displayed by the ExtendedInfo AddOn, I get a top-right error notification: “no youtube id can be found”.

I’m pretty sure that the problem is due to the AddOn’s dependencies, so not related to OSMC.
