One thing I can say to the quota is...the search costs me the most of it...100 Units!!!. Information for a video costs me only 3 Units. I'm adding a quota counter in the addon to see if I can optimize something...but that seems to me almost impossible - because I already have a lot of caching implemented.

But if only the search is used so much - no wonder the quota is exploding. The search is also used for related videos and so on. If this will become more and more a problem I will have to implement some kind of contingent to block further searches if some quota-limit is reached - because other people who are not using the search are fucked and want only watch the movie from their subscriptions.

To developers of skins, it would be nice to not integrate the search of the addon into the GUI - because this could rapidly melt the quota down for only showing content which maybe no one is actively using (meaning - watching a video of it).

Are you using a single API key for all users? Or are we all individually getting to a quota limit?

What a question only one API-Key per APP...you have logically all the same key...this is how such things work. One key has a limit of 50,000,000 units per day...and a limit per ~50,000 units/second/user.

So it means YouTube plugin on kodi is uber popular. But it also means we are all going to experience the API limit daily...
