@DjDiabolik:

I am not going to explain the entire code change, only the basic concept.

If you understand programming, then feel free to exam the code changes by clicking here.

It is very simple value substitution method.

Original bromix login_client.py has api keys hardcoded.

Code:

Here is an small example of just the kodi-quota section of keys as used in bromix version.

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': 'AIzaSyA7v1QOHz8Q4my5J8uVEpr0zRrntRjnMmk',
    'id': '597640352045-7um2gr1v5rdobn5bf07ebesm3er48286.apps.googleusercontent.com',
    'secret': 'VmyQ12KkJ_N3yegu4Y-FTGRzx'

Everybody is changing keys to get youtube add-on working, so they must change the keys inside the login_client.py file.

Code:

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': '<CHANGE YOUR API KEY HERE>',
    'id': '<CHANGE YOUR API ID HERE>.apps.googleusercontent.com',
    'secret': '<CHANGE YOUR API SECRET HERE>'

Ok, what do you notice from above examples? You see that API Id has ' .apps.googleusercontent.com ' which does not change.
So it is logical to only change the alpha-numeric string in front of .apps.googleusercontent.com, right?

This is exactly what I am doing. Only the alpha-numeric string in front of .apps.googleusercontent.com is changed.

Now we take the 3 values, API Key, API Id and API Secret from hardcoded to variable.

Code:

API Key = '12345678'
API Id = 'abcdefgh'
API Secret = 'a1b2c3d4'

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': API Key,
    'id': API Id + '.apps.googleusercontent.com',
    'secret': API Secret

Above code is equal to the example below because the variables API Key, API Id and API Secret are each given data to hold.

Code:

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': '12345678',
    'id': 'abcdefgh.apps.googleusercontent.com',
    'secret': 'a1b2c3d4'

Ok, what do you see for 'id' in all examples? Yes, only the portion in front of .apps.googleusercontent.com changes.

Now here is an example of what would happen if you use the entire 'xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com', which is not correct.

Code:

API Key = '12345678'
API Id = 'abcdefgh.apps.googleusercontent.com'
API Secret = 'a1b2c3d4'

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': API Key,
    'id': API Id + '.apps.googleusercontent.com',
    'secret': API Secret

Above code is equal to the example below because the variables API Key, API Id and API Secret are each given data to hold.

Code:

'youtube-for-kodi-quota': {
    'token-allowed': False,
    'system': 'All',
    'key': '12345678',
    'id': 'abcdefgh.apps.googleusercontent.com.apps.googleusercontent.com',  #<<<< THIS IS WRONG
    'secret': 'a1b2c3d4'

So now I hope you have a better understanding why you do not use xxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com, only use xxxxxxxxxx. The .apps.googleusercontent.com is added for you automatically.
