I've turned off "use developer keys". I've used copy and paste to make triple sure that I copied the correct credentials in for API key, AIP ID and API Secret. I've tried uninstalling (though Kodi doesn't allow me to uninstall the YouTube addon due to a dependency). I've tried clearing and deleting all the settings etc and running the setup wizard.

It's just not working for me.

Here's to hoping an update can fix this problem for all of us.

Did you do "remove user" after you added the API key? I had to reregister the app from scratch after the keys were inserted. And then it worked. You could also try deleting the addon from your OS instead of inside Kodi. Since you can't remove it. But for me, I didn't have to remove anything. Just remove the "default" user in the addon settings and then do the two auth requests again on google.com/device or what ever. The name of the API access should then show up during registration.   

I would also add I ran into numerous problems getting it to work even though I had a valid oauth setup in the past. Three things I found. If you have not used your api id in awhile, it is deleted deactivated by google (found this on an authentication forum) If you hand create the api key or the oauth key without doing it thru the enabling the youtube v3 and using the create credentials dialog, it will fail, (also from another forum) neiither of these are documented. So process should be
If you already have an old api id, just delete it, rekeying will not work if it has been more than 60 or 90 days
Follow the github guide, but basically
1 create the developer account
2. enable the youtube v3 api...use that dialog to create the oauth credentials first, and the consent screen, give a name then the api key.
3. I found it easiest to copy the keys and secret via the web interface in the app Enable the api configuration page, to enable this go to the 
Settings - API
 and enable 
Enable API configuration page

You should then be able to update your keys by visiting 
http://<IP of Kodi device>:<port>/api
The port used is 
Settings - HTTP Server - Port
 which by default is 
50152
4. Go to maintenance setting and clear the access_manager.json file before you restart
5. Restart kodi. Then do the login scripts. 
There is one part I am unsure of...somewhere in the oath setup about, you pick devices and access. I had to click to add zone access (otherwise its just email and profile). I do not know if that is required to run the app, but I enabled all the locked youtube. That means they will review it at some point, but you might not need to do that to get it to work.
when you reboot, you should get the 2 google auth screens.

One final hint, if you are doing it on multiple devices, after the first is set, use file manager to copy apikeys.json (or whatever it is called) to a network location so you can just add that to the next kodi box. I believe the file is in profiles/add_ondata/plugin.youtube.whatever. That saved time doing my 4 boxes as you just copy that file to the new device using filemanager, then start at step 4 above, saves you all the cut and pastes, restart and do logins. If I think of anything else I will add it, but once I figured it out, got all 4 boxes up in about 7 or 8 minutes. On my devices where I just copied the files, I did not change user status at all, becuase wiping accessmanager I think does that anyway. I will try it out more later but hopefully that solves your problems.

I followed the steps to generate those 3 keys.
Started my media player, enter youtube addon settings, switched OFF "use developer keys" and switched ON "enable personal keys".
Then entered 3 keys. (man, doing that with the IR remote and onscreen keyboard, was more than 10 mins!).
Pressed Ok, and it works!
And indeed, no need to login to youtube.
THANK YOU!

I never login on Kodi either.  I just use it as a cast receiver from any of my devices.  I gave trying to enter those keys in the UI and just did it in the terminal.  

As an aside, is there a way to paste something into the Kodi UI?

this does not work for me. I cant enable the youtube v3 api.
But it asks for a 12 month subscription and also asks for my credit card.....
WTF?!?! 
You can only use this addon with a payed developer Account now? whats that shit? are you kidding me?
And the whole Page is different than the one in the tutorial...
Can anyone tell me how i can get those Api keys without giving my Credit card/paid subscription?
