A quick write up on Macrotube which adds YouTube, YouTube HD, Daily Motion and MSN Soapbox videos and more into Windows Media Center.
Go to this page download either the 32bit or 64bit installer file, run it and install the add-in.
Now YouTube will NOT work out of the box and we want to add YouTube HD content as well. You need to update and replace a couple of XML files to get it to work.
Example of Youtube not working:
Go to this page and download the two XML files to a temp folder. Now renamed the files as shown below:
YouTubeHD_20110830.xml –> YouTubeHD.xml
YouTube _20110827.xml –> YouTube.xml
Now move your renamed XML files in to the following folder:
C:\ProgramData\Jasmio\MacroTube\Providers
When you open Macrotube again you see now that YouTube HD has also been added
The YouTube videos will now play as expected.
Tip: I find that selecting Relevance rather than Date on the pivot menu will yield better search results.
