I assume the migration to InfoTagVideo in 6.8.25.alpha3 is the reason video durations aren't showing up in the bottom right for me in Estuary anymore? Seems like something of a regression. They only show if I've either watched the video before or it's cached from before I upgraded to the alpha, the latter of which only lasts until I select "refresh". 6.8.24 doesn't seem to have this issue, nor do VODs on the Twitch add-on. Using Nexus via the LibreELEC beta.

Video lengths aren't showing up with other skins with 6.8.25.alpha3 either.

It happened again, using YouTube plugin v. 6.8.24+matrix.1 on Kodi v 19.4 for Linux Ubuntu 22.04.
after more than one week of "YouTubeException: the following content is not available on your app" the plugin started working nicely again for two days, now I am getting once more the "not available" issue. The same videos are displayed without problems from a browser.
All this is happening without any changes: I am using the same network connection (with no VPN), I did not install or upgrade anything, I did not change my dev keys (I did previously, but that did not change anything), I shutdown and reboot the Linux box every time.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to try to debug this ?

Question, and I would like a dev's answer for it.
I know that the api keys can also be used outside kodi. For instance, I use mine with youtube-viewer (a perl script that does what it says on the label).
But someone told me that the api keys are ONLY for people who develop apps based on the api, so any other usage for the... end user is practically illegal. Is this true? Does google have any restrictions for where the keys can be used?

It's someone can suggest because on a Kodi 20 (running from Ubuntu 22.04.2) i can't add the video lenght showed ? It's a addons issue or a skin setting ?

Update
I have figured out the problem. I don't know what changed but after looking at my log I discovered where the problem was. It seems that all of a sudden the add-on does not like that I had the settings in YouTube set to 50 items per page. After some trial and error it seems like now everything works perfectly if you do not go any higher than 20 items page. It's also worth mentioning that I tried this using the latest version of the add-on available on Github which is 7.00 and the problem is still there. I do not have an account on that site so if anyone would like to take this information and report it, that would be great
