Bromix I would love to be able to help out with sorting invalid signature calculations in future to help support the community when youtube changes after you leave to do whatever you plan for the future.
Could you please point me in the right direction to learn. Ive been reading quite allot on the youtube api website but im still at a loss as to how you decipher the signatures...
good luck for the future...
Have a good christmas and thanks for the update you have made my christmas.
PS macavita you can download the latest source from bromix's github repository. If you really cant wait for the update to just happen...

Updated to latest zip from 4 hours ago, deleted the cache sqlite DB, all is well. Videos that did not play before are now playing (including music videos from VEVO).
Thanks for all the work on this project, and the update this morning to get it back up and running. If I had a few hours a day to myself to code, I'd fork your work and continue it on myself, but as it is I only am able to post this today because I'm home with a sick 2 year old. Hopefully someone will continue your work.
It was a brilliant move when you started it. When I ran the first beta, and saw that it used the YouTube API to login (i.e. like a set top box) vs the old plugin's method of basically scraping the site with cookies, I was amazed. You really took the right approach to this project, and built it up the right way from the start.
It's a shame to see you go, but it's a thankless effort being a developer of an open source plugin (even one so highly active and used). You deserve 100x more thanks than you have ever got, and I wish you well in your endeavors.

I'll just add in my thanks to Bromix. The add-on has been great and is by far the most used add-on for me.

Thanks for the hard work and the fix Bromix.
I hope somebody will take over your work as a lot of add ons depend on yours.
Enjoy the holidays and all the best to you.

I, too, would like to say how much I have appreciated your work on this addon. I use it everyday. You've done a terrific job...and you will be missed. Hopefully someone will pick up your work and carry it forward.
Best regards,
Bob

I have to say, one the of the best addon of all time.
Great work and good luck in your life ahead.
I am more than happy to pickup the development if Kodi is not going to do anything and make part of its standard repository.
Will send the email to bromix as he will the one who decides who can work on it etc and provide permission.

I had so many problems trying to even USE the add-on today. It wouldn't search, I couldn't play any videos, I couldn't even load my channel.
So I went into the code, changed the Isengard API key and OAuth information to one I just created for myself, and suddenly everything works again. Super happy!
With respect to bromix, I think (having looked at the API limits for YouTube) that whoever takes on this project in the future should include notes on how to set up your own API key. It took me all of 10 minutes (and a little more than half of that was finding the right buttons to push to get my keys), and then I have an add-on that will never compete for API resources with anybody else on the planet.
Luck in your life
