I obtained the new API last night. At this point, I have no idea what to do next.
I don't know if this is the best way.

It is what I did for me.
  1. backup folder "userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.youtube"
  2. uninstall "plugin.video.youtube" and his settings
  3. install "plugin.video.youtube" 7.0.3 Beta 3 ( Beta 4 is out now)
  4. restore from your backup the file "api_keys.json" under "userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.youtube"  ("api_keys.json" store all your original key. So don't need to create new one)
  5. Restart Kodi
  6. launch Youtube. Then google code will be show and must be validate with "http://google.com/device".
that is all.

The problem I had was that there was no api_keys.json file, so I had to go through the process of creating a new API key, client ID, and client secret, and entering those in the settings using the GUI.  Then I still had to do step 6, but it popped up two different codes that I had to enter. NOW I have an api_keys.json but in the old version I was using the keys were stored in different files in ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib (that is the path in Ubuntu Linux).

If anyone else is in the same situation and wants to try your existing API key, client ID, and client secret, the format for "api_keys.json" (which in Ubuntu goes in ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube) looks like this:

Code:
{
    "keys": {
        "developer": {},
        "personal": {
            "api_key": "YOUR API KEY",
            "client_id": "YOUR CLIENT ID WITHOUT THE '.apps.googleusercontent.com' ENDING",
            "client_secret": "YOUR CLIENT SECRET"
        }
    }
}



RE: YouTube - terrestrial - 2024-02-23

I have something weird going on the last days. i turn on my kodi box around 5-6 PM and watch a couple or YT video's, then it stays on because i use it in the evening for my own content. Then 2 days ago i wanted to watch some YT video at 1 AM at night.  But there were no YT video's visible anymore, like none!  And last night the same thing, i rebooted the box at 2 AM at night tried reloading YT plugin but nothing. At first i thought the connection to internet was gone maybe but that's not it. 

And ofcourse now YT works fine again...but it isen't night yet.  so i'm like WHAT?

error 401 invalid_client (invalid client type)

So it doesnt seem to be key related. Anyone have any ideas ?

I just started getting this same error. I uninstalled the plug in and its data, installed the latest Beta 4, copied my API key file back, and it gets to signing in. It only asks me to activate one device code and immediately gives me this same error code. Any ideas? My API keys and the plug in itself have been working fine until today, which is what prompted me to uninstall/reinstall it.

EDIT: Okay, seems I might have it working now. I created a fresh OAuth ID with the device type "TVs and Limited Input devices" and those credentials seem to now work. No idea why my previous client ID suddenly caused a problem.


RE: YouTube - arsMOBILIS - 2024-02-24

I've been using this addon for years and seen it get waylaid every so often by Google changes so I wasn't overly concerned when I started getting the "Player response failed for video_id" error tonight. As per this forum I updated to 7.0.3 beta 4, and I did the double Google sign-in, but now I can't get the YouTube addon to start at all. It just fails immediately with the following log info. Any idea what is going on?

Code:

YouTube no auto-update - Marxiboy - 2024-02-28

Hello,

I have noticed that, for a while now, the only version available in the Kodi Add-on repo is 7.0.2.2. Is there a more up to date repo for auto-update? It's annoying having to always update manually.

Thanks!


RE: YouTube - Majide - 2024-02-29

Please describe how to we use correctly the new subtitle setting in v 7.0.3.2:

1. User enter subtitle settings of the addon and set "All available"
2. User open a clip in the YouTube addon and see multiple available subtitles: "human ones" and auto-generated ones
3. Selected video start playing with English subtitles by default.

Question: How to set preferences in wich order subtitles to be preferred? Let's say our Kodi installation is set to French. We want original french subtitles, or if not available to be choosed original English subtitles, or if not available auto-translated French or if not available auto-translated English subtitles. How we can set such preferences?


RE: YouTube - BriceysCousin - 2024-03-02

does the API config page not work anymore? (http://<IP of Kodi device>:<port>/api)

i get:

Code:

Error response

Error code: 501

Message: Not Implemented.

Error code explanation: 501 - Server does not support this operation.
