Delete the cookie "yt-cookiejar.txt" located in the following folder: xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube. For windows user's, you'll find the xbmc folder in C:\Users\UserAccount\AppData\Roaming.

- If you first installed this plugin from the repository, and the revised addon does not work, it's possible XBMC isn't overwriting the original plugin package. Delete the original plugin package, and associated install files to ensure the revised plugin installs properly.
- First, enter the following into the Windows Start Menu search box: %appdata%\XBMC\addons\packages This will open the packages folder. Now, delete any instance of the file named: plugin.video.youtube
- Next, open the addons folder by entering %appdata%\XBMC\addons\ Look for a folder named: plugin.video.youtube. If that folder exists, then delete the folder.
- Next, open the addon_data folder by entering %appdata%\XBMC\userdata\addon_data Look for a folder named: plugin.video.youtube. If that folder exists, then delete the folder.
- Last, install the plugin manually by starting XBMC, then go to Settings>Addons>Install from zip
- After install, enter your YouTube username and password to see if it works.

- To solve the login problems, I added the fix from this post: Reply #52. If you continue to have login problems, you may have to find a different fix.
- To fix a problem with VEVO videos not playing, as well as certain videos added to favorites not playing, I added the YouTubePlayer.py from this post: Reply #217
- To fix a problem with LIVE streams not playing, I compared an addon sent to from member RedPenguin, and found a duplicated entry at line 362 & 363 and replaced with the necessary code in YouTubePlayer.py.
