-= How To: Installing the plugin =
-Install the plugin through the XBMC add-on repository.
-= Known problems =
-  * One of the main features of the plugin is that it defaults to thumbnails view for video items. This only works when using the default "Confluence" skin as the plugin is dependent on the Id defined for confluences thumbnails view.
-  * [http://www.youtube.com/ YouTube] also supports exposing videos through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_Streaming Adobes RTMPE Protected streaming protocol]. Playback support of this protocol requires the latest Eden build. Downloading videos served with this protocol is not supported.
