Video add-ons don't open from favourites

If you add a video add-on (Youtube for example) to the favourites it doesn't open at all. It just is doing nothing. The specific part of the log looks like:

That's reproducable with Kodi 17b7 on Ubuntu 16.04 (intel hardware) and at least with a RPi running LibreELEC. The add-on works fine from the normal add-ons section.
Here is the full log I did later: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23659140/
Tried to open Youtube from favourites at line 1414
Let me know if you need something else.
Greetings
you didnt add it to favourites from right spot. you need to go to home->add-ons->video add-ons and add it from there via context menu.
I did
I'm not saying that the addons don't appear in favourites. That's fine. They just don't open if I select them.
@phil65 when you go via the route you suggested, there is no "Add to Favourites" option:
If however you go via Home > Add-ons > Add-on browser > My add-ons > All > YouTube, then there is an "Add to favourites" option:
With this option, having added YouTube to Favourites, when clicking on the YouTube icon in Favourites, it does nothing (it doesn't run, see errors in first post).
you see...the addons are there
you have to click on "video add-ons" in add-on launcher... then you have it in context menu.
That's exactly what I did.
your screenshots suggest that you did not.
hell...you're right ;)
If I do it exactly the route you say: addons->video addons->youtube->open context->add to favourites
then it works.
If I go this route: addons->my addons (from the widgets)->video addons->youtube->open context->add to favourites
it does not work.
Ah yes... you are correct @phil65. I can see it catching people out though!
see, you just need to read more carefully ;)
context menu will get improved in v18.
