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

I sort of follow what you are doing up to this point but here is my question. Normally I do not log into YouTube, I either search for content I want to see, or I put certain channels in my favorites. I don't log in because among other things I don't particularly want Google tracking what I watch (I know they probably do to some extent anyway, but they can't as easily associate particular videos with me personally if I don't log in). I don't use Google for searches (not directly, anyway) for the same reason.

So my question is, is there any way to fix this that doesn't require logging into YouTube? In other words, if I just replace the keys will that be sufficient, or will YouTube then refuse to allow the addon to connect at all until I have logged in?
