I've been having problems with that for quite some time; even while using youtube on my raspberry pi2 (armv7h).
I've posted to the plugin thread at
kodi forums, but they seem to be focused on debian and other distros, as far as I can tell. I'll try reposting it here, since it's partly the same problem. Worth noting is that the same issue is present with current stable version of the plugin (6.2.0) as well as the 6.2.1~beta2 version.
I don't see a way to install the inputstream.adaptive addon on archlinuxarm. I keep getting incessant popups every time I try to play something using the youtube plugin or with something that depends on the youtube plugin. However, every time I select to enable it, it doesn't seem to work. I've tried replacing the plugins directory with the latest beta2 version, as linked to in the initial post within this thread to no avail. The following messages can be seen in the log at the time when the addon is attempted to be loaded. It's worth noting that this is on a raspberrypi2 running ArchLinuxArm.
