* Information collated from previous posts in both the old and the new YouTube threads. 
* Thank you to everyone who contributed (credits to WHCTHBD, jdf76, activoice, anxdpanic and many others)

NB: These instructions are meant for existing users with a working, signed in, and activated YouTube addon.
They are not meant to help you install, setup, sign in, or activate the YouTube addon itself if you are a first time user.

Please install, setup, sign in, activate and test the YouTube addon first, before creating your own Personal API Keys.

* Step 1:

- Click HERE - https://console.cloud.google.com/ 
- Select your email preference (Yes or No - it does not matter)
- Select Yes to agree to the Terms of Service (for reference: https://console.cloud.google.com/terms)
- Click Agree and Continue

NB: Please ignore any offers to "Sign up for a free trial..." and/or "Try Google Cloud Platform for free". It is not required. 

- Select Project > Create Project > Enter Project Name (the name does not matter) > Create
- WAIT until the next page loads with the the New Project that you just created.

* Step 2:

- Click HERE - https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
- Go to YouTube APIs > Select YouTube Data API > Enable

* Step 3:

- Click HERE - https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
- Select Create Credentials > API Key
- Copy and Save the API key. You will need this later. DO NOT POST THIS PUBLICALLY.
- Click Close

* Step 4:

- On the same page, Select Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID
- Then Select > Configure Consent Screen

* Step 5:

- Enter a Name in "Product name shown to users" (the name does not matter)
- Click Save and WAIT for the next page to load with the OAuth Client ID screen
- Then Select Other > Create
- Copy and Save the Client ID and the Client Secret. You will need these later. DO NOT POST THESE PUBLICALLY.
- Click OK.

* Step 6:

- Go to the YouTube addon > Settings > API Settings > Click Enable Personal API Keys > Enter all 3 Keys > Click OK
- Then > Sign Out > and after Sign In again (with the normal 2 x web activation)

After a successful Sign In to the YouTube addon you should now be using the Personal API Keys that you created.

* OR

- With Kodi shut down, Paste all 3 Keys into: Kodi / userdata / addon_data / plugin.video.youtube / settings.xml 
in the following lines of code:

<setting id="youtube.api.enable" value="true" />
<setting id="youtube.api.id" value="Client ID" />
<setting id="youtube.api.key" value="API Key" />
<setting id="youtube.api.secret" value="Client Secret" />

- Then > Start Kodi > Open the YouTube addon > Sign Out > and after Sign In again (with the normal 2 x web activation)

After a successful Sign In to the YouTube addon you should now be using the Personal API Keys that you created.


Enjoy, jmh2002

Code:

OK. On the plus side the plugin now launches and allows me to sign in. However, after I put the second code on google.com/device I was greeted with:

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Now i receive this error:
Exception: Error reason: |accessNotConfigured| with message: |Access Not Configured. YouTube Data API has not been used in project 104934473204 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/overview?project=104934473204 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.
I use my private API key. Same situation with signing in, and without it. This happens when I send direct link to Kodi (by using firefox addon, or Yatse), and when I tries to open youtube addon menu.

Kodi version: 18.2-1
Installed on Raspberry Pi 3B+
