How watch youtube videos in kodi

Plz help me

Hello, this is my first post here.

Platform: iOS 9.3.5
Kodi: 18.9
YouTube: 6.8.25
Debug Log: https://paste.kodi.tv/moturuqaki.kodi

I entered the API Key, API ID and API Secret. Then connected the device successfully. But when I try to use YouTube, it still asks for an API key.
Can you please help me with this? I appreciate any help you can provide.

I forgot to post this screenshot and there is no "Edit" button. So I'm posting it as a new post.

There is an Edit option, it is just not yet available for you as a newcomer to this forum.

On my kodi.log it's appears this error:

if it needs a dependency then my thought would be to install that dependency - https://kodi.tv/addons/nexus/script.module.infotagger

How would I make these changes under Kodi on my firestick?

i dont understand your question, you would simply install the addon like on any other kodi installation - https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_manager
- https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-ons

Is there any way to get back the video length on the list view?

I really don't need to know I watched the video in HD AFTER the fact - but now I can't t6ell how long videos are after the Kodi update and I decide what to watch sometimes based on how long a video is - now it's gone - is that from the Kodi update or an update to the YouTube app?

This happens if you attempt to upgrade the addon by a file copy/paste or update Kodi from Matrix to Nexus with plugin youtube already installed.  The dependency is a new requirement and you need to install from repo or zip so Kodi will load the dependency as a module addon.  I don't think there is any way to install a module addon via the UI, but you could download it as a zip and install it that way, though just installing youtube plugin itself is the preferred method

I recently had to manually install plugin.video.youtube-7.0.2.alpha7.zip because YouTube plugin was borked for several weeks. 
https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.vide...e/releases

7.0.2.alpha7 works but you can't get high resolutions like 4K with Use MPEG-DASH setting.

Here is my workaround (maybe it would be useful for others too):
 - if you use external player in KODI (I use mpv)
 - YouTube Settings > Advanced > Support alternative player (enabled) + Use YouTube website urls (enabled)

Now you can watch 4K YouTube video in mpv. Select "Play using.." > MPV from the context menu.
Sure you have to setup external player first. Kodi should have wiki how to do it iirc.

Starting yesterday, entering any playlist including "My Subscriptions" takes 2 -3 minutes. also starting any video takes some time (1-2-3 minutes).
I tried different versions of plugin  - 7.0.1, 7.0.2alfa7-Matrix,  6.8.27alpha7-Matrix - all the same.

I successfully installed Youtube add-on and started with the wizard which I couln't finish a few days ago.

On a later reboot I found out that youtube add-on was deactivated and I was unable to activate it.
So I unistalled youtube add-on

Since this time I'm unable to re-install youtube anymore: it says missing dependency and activate is not possible
The log says there is an issue with sqlite_readonly_dbmoved

What can I do to start form scratch and continue with the setup wizard?

Thanks in advance!

@A0A0 - your question above has been merged into the YT support thread (this current one that you're reading) from its own thread.

Just a courtesy notice in case you wondered where your original thread went.

How exactly can I re-install infotagger? It's not possible via dependencies from youtube plugin

see also https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.vide...issues/479

This worked for me: 
"The only thing that worked for me was to manually copy infotagger/listitem.py under ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib/infotagger."
