I'm completely new at this but I think I'm having a related problem. I installed a fresh install of RetroPie, updated and installed Kodi from the repositories. Kodi shows up under the "Ports" menu in Retropie. Kodi loads fine, I'm not really sure how it all works, but I installed the Youtube addon. I soon found out I had to sign up for Google project development to get an API key and credentials needed to get the addon working. I did all that, made myself a test user and after a bit of trial and error I am able to search for and watch Youtube videos on my Raspberry Pi. For a bit that is. I can watch about 4 or 5 videos, but after that, every time I try to do a search, or even watch a video I previously watched, Kodi is giving me an alert there was a problem and to check the log. I'm not sure exactly what log file I'm looking for, I'm assuming it's the addon log? The system doesn't appear to be overheating or anything, not that I'm aware of, even if I wait a while, the videos no longer work I just get the same alert. If I reboot, the videos seem to work again, but then the same behavior starts to happen after about 4 or 5 videos are watched. Please advise me on what I need to do to get some help on this. Or, tell me if I'm doing it wrong from the start, should I not even be trying to run Kodi on Retropie? Should I be running a stand alone Kodi install? I'm not new to computers but I'm no Linux guru and while I've had a little experience with Retropie, I've had basically zero with Kodi.
