Search often fail

[Martan404]

Searching on youtube always results in a "Search failed" and most of the time I search on Soundcloud I also get this issue. When searching on Soundcloud it's also really hard to find the song I'm looking for. Even tho I can find the song when searching directly on Soundclouds website it won't be found inside Espera.

Would it be possible to let us manually add songs to the playlist?

I have the same issue, YouTube search has never worked for me. I use the latest version from: http://getespera.com/
Have you ever been able to use the YT search?

I assume the Youtube API that Espera tries to query is not supported anymore. Espera makes an HTTP request like this:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=foobar&max-results=50&safeSearch=none&orderby=relevance

Youtube responds with HTTP/1.1 410 Gone

I'm working on it: jasper-d@9e63e47 (you will need to provide a proper API key to test it).
Searching videos works, but playback does not (downloading does though). Not sure what the problem is. Any idea @flagbug? I'm not familiar with ReactiveUI, so debugging is rather cumbersome.

Well, this looks bad. MediaElement doesn't support HTTPS and Youtube requires HTTPS. Could possibly work by using OWIN inbetween.
