@cnwoods - no support is offered on this forum for any device containing banned addons (wiki), in violation of our piracy policy (wiki) and the forum rules (wiki) that you accepted and agreed to abide by when you signed up here.
The forum moderators have determined that banned addons (wiki) are present on your system. To receive assistance here, these banned items must be removed. If a clean log is not submitted within 3 days, then the relevant post(s) will be removed after this time.
RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - cnwoods - 2019-03-10
My sincere apologies. I've removed all banned repos and addons.
A new debug log is here: https://paste.kodi.tv/aworukijuy.kodi
Basically, I just entered Kodi (with debug on), and clicked on the sign-in in Youtube. Then exited.
TIA.
RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - Spiderfish - 2019-03-11
Why when enable mpeg-dash for videos then the youtube videos become stuck and not stable wit buffering.
Do I have to do something in settings to solve it?
RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - anxdpanic - 2019-03-12
@DjDiabolik
That looks like something that would be better suited to a separate add-on, but will keep it in mind.
@Spiderfish
A complete debug log (wiki) might help show the issue.

RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - Kovatch - 2019-03-13
Hi all,
I recently got an ATV1 working with osmc. The youtube add-on is awesome and I'm quite happy with how it's working on this thing (only live streams don't work though everything else seems really great, it's version 6.4.0). I ordered a used cheap Broadcom CrystalHD card shipped from Thailand and I think it broke in shipping sadly as it doesn't appear to be working.
After reading some of this it seems I need Inputadaptive and I do have it though it's version 2.0.10. I tried updating the version and it says there's no update available and that live streams only work with 2.0.12. Do any of you think it's possible for me to get live streams working (maybe with a CrystalHD card)?
Regardless, I really appreciate all the work that went into this.

I'd be really grateful if someone could take a look at this. I've submitted a clean debug log (and edited the above post to reflect this). I'm unable to access youtube at all, as mentioned in the post.
This has been a problem for some time -- and it's got me completely stumped.
Thanks.
RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - HTGeek - 2019-03-13
Have you tried following these instructions, from a fresh Kodi 18 install?
YOUTUBE PERSONAL API KEY INSTRUCTIONS by jmh2002
That's the most relevant and complete guide that worked for me. Note the key instructions at the very bottom of the post. The UI in Google's dev portal has changed slightly since this was written, but not much.
jmh2002's guide solves the problem where you are sharing the built-in API keys with everyone else in the world with Kodi and using the same built-in key. Google limits the API usage to a certain number of logins per day (I believe it's something like 100). Apple has a similar practice with their app testing protocols, FWIW. This is a standard practice in enterprise software dev. The best way around it is to create your own set of API keys, which is free.
Now, that may or may not be at the root of your problem, but if you follow that guide with a fresh Kodi v18/Leia install, it should work. Your issue could also be related to leftover code or improperly deleted or modified code related to one of the non-approved apps you previously installed. I would start over with a fresh build regardless, and well... start over.

Which put me off trying it. However, I'm prepared to try anything at this point, so I'll report back later when I've tried it, and from a clean Kodi setup.
Thanks.
RE: YouTube Plug-in Thread - cnwoods - 2019-03-13
No luck I'm afraid.
I moved my old ~/.kodi/ directory out of the way and created a new one. After adding sources and updating music and video libraries, I added Youtube. Then I created the API and client keys and added them.
I'm still getting a LoginException [400]: invalid_request, with the settings screen overlaying the sign-in every time I try to sign in, and a Youtube: forbidden clicking other youtube links.

(2019-03-13, 17:53)cnwoods Wrote:Yeah, true. I'm not sure what he meant by that or why he added that statement. It's very difficult to get connected to YT using the developer API keys that come with the app. Quite frankly, it ought to just require users to create their own. This is a function of limitations set by Google. My point is that in order to actually sign in and activate the YouTube app, you will most likely have to go the API creation route. Anyone who gets in without that is just plain lucky.(2019-03-13, 15:35)HTGeek Wrote: Have you tried following these instructions, from a fresh Kodi 18 install?Yes, I was wondering about that.

I found jmh2002's guide was the only one that worked for me, mostly because his was the only guide I found that accurately describes the process, explains how you acquire and match up the 3 pieces of data required, and explains the registration process with YT that connects your Google account to your Kodi install, which is the last step to make the magic happen. I've also confirmed that restarting the box, YT connectivity still works. As long as you don't mess with the pairing process, it will retain the info on restart. If you wish to change the user, you will have to re-pair Kodi and an associated, existing Google account.

Based on what I'm seeing above, the problem looks pretty clear-cut: your credentials are not matching what Google/YouTube API is expecting. So, not to sound like a broken record here, but I would strongly suggest you start over and go through the tutorial I linked above. Uninstall the YT app, restart Kodi, reinstall the app. Then before you try to sign in, go to the Google Dev site and create a brand new set of credentials. The process is somewhat confusing unless you've used Google's developer API tools before.
Make sure you assign Youtube API v3 for starters. Your Client ID will be the longest of the 3 key values. It should start with a 12-digit number, followed by a dash (-) and an alphanumeric string, and appended with .apps.googleusercontent.com
The Secret will be the shortest value.
Also note that Google does not subscribe to some API best practices. For instance, their keys use characters such as i, I, l, o, O, and 0. Depending on the font, if you are manually copying and pasting this can easily result in errors. It's also common to mis-type or miss a character or two when transcribing manually, as many folks do in this case (Kodi).
