I sent a pull request to Kolifanes repository... all he has to do is commit and provide a new zip file.
Here's the new feature.
ver 5.1.20.4 - API key in add-on settings
API key is now configurable from add-on settings. Users that have valid API key can now enter their key from add-on settings dialog. API Key from version 5.1.20.3 is never lost if end-user makes a change since version 5.1.20.3 API key is default value in settings.xml file. The youtube-tv key in login_client.py cannot be changed. Only kodi-quota, kodi-fallback and kodi-xx version will change when end-user enters their API key. If end-user enters a non-working key or makes a mistake when entering their key, the youtube add-on will continue to work if the end-user selects 'Default' button in the add-on settings since that will activate the default API key.
This new feature is safer for less experienced end-users since they can enter a valid API key without any python programming knowledge. All end-users who are currently using their own API key will like this new change as well because they will not need to keep editing login_client.py file and future updates should not change their API key setting.
