Thanx dev for this great plugin 
could have the channels inside youtube category on home screen instead of being one youtube icon like in ss

Thanks! You can enable “Show YouTube root folders at Emby’s top level”.

Already checked on but with no luck

I’ve just published a new release that should fix this. Please update the plugin and restart Emby Server. Then add a Latest Media row in the Home Screen settings and select only the YouTube library. With “Show YouTube root folders at Emby’s top level” enabled, each YouTube channel should now appear as its own row.

I've been able to deduce on Windows client app, this happens, but not on ios or on my web browser on windows. Why would this be?

I’ve just released v2.0.8.10, which fixes an issue where the YouTube player or an ad could remain active and continue playing over the next Emby item.

Which Emby Server version are you using? Separate rows for each YouTube channel require Emby Server 4.10+, which is currently beta. On 4.9, only top-level channel folders are supported.

The titles are present, but the thumbnails are missing. They may appear after “Refresh Internet Channels” finishes and the client is reloaded. If not, please send the plugin log.

Thanks for this plugin! I just installed it yesterday, and it works flawlessly.

I have done a fresh install of Emby over the last month, I have now installed the plugin again and still do not get any images at all, no matter which library I check 

Examples - Trending

Music

API usage 

I have no idea why it still does not pull these, if you need anything to check let me know

Which Emby and plugin versions are you using, and on what OS? Could you share a server log after refreshing one affected video?
