Is it possible to configure the YouTube addon to remember my account name and password? Each time I open YouTube I have to add in the two generated codes into youtube.com/activate.
Apologies if this is answered somewhere on here; I have searched but found it hard to find an answer.

Is this forum not for laypeople? I read the YouTube thread and was completely lost with what was being said; even the first few posts.
Is there any way to get a simple answer as to whether or not a YouTube addon can be installed and then configured so I don't have to put the two codes in each time so that it knows which YouTube account to link to? I generally use the seo-michael pages advice on how to install things but I couldn't findd anything to help on the config side that someone like me could use for this.

Shryp, I've checked in the settings file and I can't see my user ID or email address in there. It starts with <settings> <setting ID="kodion.access_token" value="" />
I'm guessing this should have either my email address or something to identify my account. Could you advise where it identifies your account and if it's your email address or username and is your password also stored in there? Thanks.

OK, thanks. I'll try logging in and then making the settings file read only as it seems to lose these when I come out of Kodi. Worth a try, maybe?

Wow, that's a lot different to mine. If I log in and then look at the settings.XML file it has a whole lot of data in the speech marks.
Should it just be the six characters or is there a separator etc in there?

Mine looks very different; potentially the problem. access_token is blank, there's no 'refresh token...

</settings>
I've now tried on my Windows laptop and Macbook. The Macbook's settings file is very different. Also tried three different YouTube logins.
