From now on, I don't need to enter any keys. So the Addon in Kodi works without keys. Do you also have similar experiences? Youtube developers for Kodi thank you very much.

What they are talking about is true. In the alpha/beta, playback doesn't require api keys. So things like playing Trailers from the library, STRM files, sharing videos from Kore/Yatse all work without keys. Browsing/Navigation in the add-on does require keys still though.

Eula's do not render fair use invalid. Despite what they want you to believe, you can choose to use the player of your choice on the platform of your choice. Kodi is about an option that does not allow them to use the content as a hammer to the head to gain access to your entire environment. And as far as free content goes, to my knowledge that has never truly been tested in court. If the content exists somewhere freely, then it is unproven if simply viewing it on a different platform than intended even can constitute infringement. REDISTRIBUTION, then yet. But simple consumption of freely available media on a platform other than intended still hasn't been pushed.

I can browse in the Kodi addon/popular now without Keys, addons that use Youtube videos are also working! NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q- Do you think this will last, or will this get disabled soon when too many users start using it again?

**EDIT** This is v6.7.2-beta. I thought it was from the test repo, but i was mistaken. Its from a different repo, but its working regardless.

I thought I had previously setup api keys for it however I went through the process again

I got as far as logging into the webserver page to put in my API Keys and Secret
This seemed to work and I checked the configuration by closing kodi and going back in

When I opened Kodi again I am getting a 401 error for YouTube Plugin before I even touched the plugin or went in to see its information settings

its an endless loop that says

OAuth Client Deleted
then opens the config screen for Youtube Plugin..
I check the information is correct
close
and it pops up again

I even tried turning off the personal keys and that still loops when i get out of the info setup


My Kodi device is an android box

Its bad enough the plugin isn't working but am I going to have to reinstall Kodi fresh?
Because that is going to suck

Has anyone actually figured this out or has this plugin been abandoned or is it just not working or whats up?

Try uninstalling youtube in Kodi. Then disable Kodi and delete the file "Kodi / userdata / addon_data / plugin.video.youtube /". Then turn on Kodi again and install youtube from the official Kodi repo. This should be followed by updating the add-on to 6.7.0 alpha2 youtube, and the add-on does not need keys. It helped me this way and the supplement is alive. Try the procedure. PS "sorry for bad English.😉👍

It is to shut down the entire Kodi and erase the remains of the youtube application. Even if you uninstalled youtube in Kodi, the remainder will still remain. Only after you clean up the rest of youtube will you turn on Kodi and install the version of the youtube plugin manually, or by updating from the official repository with 6.7.0 alpha2. Then you can manually disable auto-update in the youtube add-on. Youtube should work without a key. The cleanup of youtube remains is important.
Path for cleaning....
"Kodi / userdata / addon_data / plugin.video.youtube /"
