restart kodi.

What that will essentially do is delete youtube from your system completely.

Then reinstall the plugin from https://github.com/Kolifanes/plugin.vide...e/releases

you should be gold at that point, if it still doesn't work go ahead and get the kodi.log file.

This solution worked for me. Greatly appreciate your help.

Thx
I didn't have to and I upgraded from 5.1.17

Edit: Nevermind i just did, originally it didn't but i now had to log out and log back in and it worked fine.

Where can I find this folder on the RP? Using OpenElec.

Google must be strapped for bandwidth and cash these days.
Theoretically there's only one set of keys that's necessary to input. It's a set, so more than one string. But I think that a competent programmer should be able to do it quite easily (it's a matter of taking the in put of a couple of settings requesters and placing it in the right place in the configuration file). If I'm wrong, excuse me, I usually refrain from expressing thoughts about stuff like this, not being a programmer. But this, conceptually at least, seems really easy.

Yea It should be possible, but like I said its not as simple as the weather addon type similar change/support.

Im not a programmer either but I read the code for the weather addons.
Does this new plugin break other plugins which rely on the youtube addon? I don't want to fix youtube just to have those break.

NO, it won't.

Cool. Because I tried another solution from another thread and Youtube did indeed work again but every addon that uses youtube like Pro Sport stopped working.

What's up Jeff,

I see these instructions all over the place but I'm still having problems getting you tube to work. I have a fire stick with Kodi loaded on it and plugged to tv. When I'm in it I'm able to remove old software (at least I think) and when I go to add source and type in that github address I can't unzip it later since it leads to nothing. Can you provide me step by step instruction on how to do this from fire stick? I don't know anything about computers and my wife is harassing me to get this to work. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Download the file on another computer and access it through your network. Use "Install from ZIP file" in Kodi.
I sent a pull request to Kolifanes repository... all he has to do is commit and provide a new zip file.

Here's the new feature.

ver 5.1.20.4 - API key in add-on settings

API key is now configurable from add-on settings. Users that have valid API key can now enter their key from add-on settings dialog. API Key from version 5.1.20.3 is never lost if end-user makes a change since version 5.1.20.3 API key is default value in settings.xml file. The youtube-tv key in login_client.py cannot be changed. Only kodi-quota, kodi-fallback and kodi-xx version will change when end-user enters their API key. If end-user enters a non-working key or makes a mistake when entering their key, the youtube add-on will continue to work if the end-user selects 'Default' button in the add-on settings since that will activate the default API key.

This new feature is safer for less experienced end-users since they can enter a valid API key without any python programming knowledge. All end-users who are currently using their own API key will like this new change as well because they will not need to keep editing login_client.py file and future updates should not change their API key setting.
Thanks @misty01. Sounds good. I recommend people use yatse or kore to add their api keys cos you should be able to paste, rather than risk a typo.

What? I need a computer for this. My wife has iMac pro book. How do I do all this? Set up a network? What does that mean? Can you write me a step by step instruction starting with turning on the computer. I know nothing about computers but I can follow instruction. Last working you tube I got was from the stick alone (bro mix repo) and I didn't need another computer.

Done

We have only one key is from Google. YouTube TV. But appreciate your solution.
