When I share a link from my Android device using Yatse, it gives an error and works with the other YouTube addon.
This has already been asked an answered in this thread, browse backwards or use the search functionality

Maybe fix those logon issues.That was why i posted the link to the youtube-dl module, so the author of this add-on could (perhaps) use that (no need to reinvent the wheel). Info about that has also been posted in the other add-ons thread, if not directly to the module, at least to the post where the request for that to be made its own module is made. Also i have a impression that the other add-on might need some rewriting, which is the reason for this add-ons existence. Also the update frequency of the other add-on has not been great this year (imo). Maybe its easier to start from scratch than try to fix the other one?
The open source community obsession with forking is counter productive.
About your comment in the other thread that this add-on lack a lot of features, well its marked as "work in progress" and alpha. So i would argue that this should be used for testing only and to give feedback whats working, whats not, and which features we would like to see. Then use the other one as your main YT add-on. When this gets to a complete/stable/release version its up to each of us which we prefer.
Indeed choice is one of the great boons of open source. I recently dived into the other plugin to add some functionality. And agree it is complicated but I would not say it needs a rewrite merely some cleanup would do.
This new plugin is neater and very impressive. Yet it will never support anything but the api. At least where app passwords are concerned
