the main concept you have to understand is, that if you want to use your own application keys with the YT addon, you have to have a google account, register your own development project, then add any application you want to that or a different project you set up, and then obtain the keys and credentials as described in below linked instructions.
to be clear: you have to register a dummy application with google, that then represents your OSMC / KODI installation running the YT addon accessing the YT API - reasonable?
the "youtube tv" application doesn't have its own dedicated API - its an application registered with google using the youtube API V 3.0 as described in this thread. also this video describes everything in depth. finally, here you'll find a list of available google APIs.
generating your own keys for your own applications (as such you would register YOUR personal keys for OSMC/KODI) is been done here and described in detail here.
if you encounter doubtful error messages while trying to fill in the information for the application's consent screen, make sure, your youtbe account is associated with your real name account - this happened to me, as is till have the old account pseudonym and the error messages are just non self explainatory - took me some hours to find the reason.. google at its best...
does this answer your question?
