Perfect, got it working now, that was the extra hint i needed.

OK, I sort of followed these instructions, but weren't really detailed enough for me to follow.
i found the login_client.py file in the .kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib/client folder but was unsure which was the key i needed to edit.

I changed key for each option to my API key, but don't know what to set id or secret to, I left them as is, but now i am getting a credential eror.

Can you give a little more detailed instructions on what to change in the file, thanks.

Through trial and error I got it to work. First I created a Browser API key. This gives you the value for 'key' in the login_client.py file. Then I created a OAuth client ID. This gives you the value of 'id" and 'secret'.

Now that I got it to work, I just need to learn more about developer console.

For Openelec users, this file is located here : ~/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib/youtube/client/login_client.py . You will need to ssh into your openelec server in order to access this file, as its not exposed over SMB. Use putty or the like if you are on windows, or the built in ssh client if you are on linux or mac. The default login is : root / openelec. The file can be edited by nano.

You need to edit the "key", "id" and "secret" numbers below with the ones you generate in the Google developers console located at https://console.developers.google.com/apis . The credentials you need to create are :

'key' = Browser key
'Id' = OAuth 2.0 client ID
'secret' = OAuth 2.0 client secret

I've copied the relevant sections of the file below so you know what to edit. You should be able to just edit the key for your current version of XBMC, but Im still testing to see if this is the case.

*EDIT : DO NOT CHANGE the 'youtube-tv' credentials at the top of the file ( the first entry):

{
'youtube-tv': {
'system': 'All',
'key': 'AIzaSyAd-YEOqZz9nXVzGtn3KWzYLbLaajhqIDA',
'id': '861556708454-d6dlm3lh05idd8npek18k6be8ba3oc68.apps.googleusercontent.com',
'secret': 'SboVhoG9s0rNafixCSGGKXAT'
},

This controls the "my subscriptions" feed, and will break it, as the part of the app that streams that will not be correctly authorized. This is the first app you authorize when you sign into the plugin for the first time. You can change all of the other credentials to your new info without issue. They should all match when you are done. Make sure you dont miss any punctuation, as this will cause the app to fail.

After you are finished, sign out of the app and sign back in. This will use the new credentials.
