The problem is quota. Youtube API have limited count of requests for every application (particularly 50000000 requests per day). The quota is quite huge but if there is a lot of users then you will eventually run out.

Dirty solution is use your own "youtube application" (you will have your separate quota, 50000000 requests per day just for you) then the limit probably never run out. I currently using this solution and works fine. But you need create your own "youtube application" and modify source code of addon - not everybody will have this knowledge. It is complicated. This is what activoice wrote.

The real solution is not easy. The only thing what i can think of is to implement pool of "youtube applications" (credentials). And select random credentials for every login. Main goal is to spread users among more credentials. Currently we have for every version of kodi one credentials/youtube application and it is not enough anymore.

"project marked for deletion"

how can i fix it?

----


okay its fixed

First uninstal the YOUTUBE addon (you probably don't have to do this but it was just cleaner this way I didn't have to delete any folders)

Then reinstal the YOUTUBE addon... don't sign in

Close KODI


Thent go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/

Click on Credentials, then New Credentials, then API key, and select Browser Key, give it a name and click Create (this creates the KEY)

Then back to Credentials
Click on Credentials, then New Credentials, then OAuth Client ID, select Other, give it a name and click Create (this creates the ID and SECRET)

At this point you've got 2 sets of credentials

Edited 02/06/16
Verify that the Youtube API is enabled

Go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/enabled
Verify that you see YouTube Data API v3 in the list

If it is NOT in the list go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library

Click on the link for YouTube Data Api
Click on Enable API at the top

Go back to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/enabled

Verify that YouTube Data API v3 is now in the list

End of edit 02/06/16


Locate the file - login_client.py
(On Windows it's located here - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.youtube\resources\lib​\youtube\client

Within the file login_client.py find the section that corresponds to the version of KODI that you're using in my case I'm running version 15.2

youtube-for-kodi-15': {
'system': 'Isengard',
'key': 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
'id': 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.apps.googleusercontent.com',
'secret': 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'

Set the Key to the Browser API key you created first
Set the ID to the OAuth Client ID you created second
Set the Secret to the Client Secret shown in OAuth Client ID

(Make sure that you're copying and pasting these between the quote marks)

Save the updated login_client.py file

Then launch KODI
Select the YOUTUBE Addon
Select SIGN IN

Then do the 2 x activation thing where you go to
youtube.com/activate

Enter the code from KODI, click NEXT then click ALLOW
Then enter the second code from KODI, click NEXT, then ALLOW

And that should be it... mine seems to be working...

Worked a treat and also fixed lagginess

I just made quick fix based on random pooling of credentials. Not really a good solution but it will solve problem for now.

Source: https://github.com/kolinger/plugin.video.youtube
ZIP: https://github.com/kolinger/plugin.video...5.1.17.zip

Installation - install from zip or replace files directly in addons folder. Then just logout from youtube and log back. If there was still issue with quota/unknown kind then logout and login again. Every login a random credentials are chosen/propably new pool is chosen.

when i click anything all it says is unknown kind' can someone please explain what that means

I tried to browse youtube last night and anytime I clicked on any list all I got was either "unknown kind" or something about app set for deletion or quote reached. I was tired so I didn't bother writing anything down. Any idea on this?

Dear friends,

Please tell me, what should I do to be able to search for videos from remote app from my phone?
On iOS I am able to do "new search" only from app called "constellation". When I'm trying to do "new search" from Kodi Remote app I'm getting an error (XBMC JSON-RPC Error: Invalid params.).
On Android I can not find any remote app to do the "new search" in youtube plugin...

On iOS and Android when I go to old searches, where searched frase is already on the list there is no problem, but "new search" always gets me an error.
Thanks.

Yeah getting the same. I presume that's it something to do with Google's API. Think we just have to wait it out.

I hope so. To me it kinda looks like the addon is broken...

well ty for the responce but i completely give up on it and pretty soon i will give up on all kodi as it seems 95% of its addons just never work anymore

..well, perhaps those that attempt to access pirated material. You'll find that the majority of addons do work.
And, of course, if you find that there are problems, you can always post on this forum asking for help, rather than just complaining.

As of yesterday The HISTORY folder is no longer showing up on any of my installs (windows, android, ouya) will this get fixed? The reason I ask is that I like watching youtube on my tv using the ouya but searching on this is rather tedious so I search the video on my phone using the android youtube app then open it through the history folder on the ouya... If this feature isn't coming back, is there another easy way to find videos for playback on the ouya? thanks

I know this seems a given, however, I think it should be noted that anyone who is using there own credentials should NOT use 5.1.17 and should stick with 16.
