I know there were changes back in 2017 that prevented history from working but I was hoping maybe something has changed since?
I have my personal API setup and working. I have signed in.
When I watch a video it doesn't show as watched in my history. This means my recommended videos often contain things I have already seen and the recommendations are completely different between my PC on youtube.com and on Kodi with the youtube addon.
It really is an annoyance I'd love to solve if possible.

To answer my own question above.
Short answer, the plugin was logged into the wrong YouTube account
Long answer
When I log into YouTube, I see 2 accounts, my google account and a youtube account.
The first time I connected the plugin to my account via google.com/device I had selected my google account and not my YouTube one.
Switching this account resolved the issue.

Hi,
I am brand new to Kodi and after installing the You Tube plug-in, I keep getting the 401 sign-in error. I am trying to create an API key using the credentials wizard but get the message 'The request failed because one of the fields of the resource is invalid. Tracking Number c4773216063978821'. I am completely lost with all of this and any assistance will be much appreciated.

Strange behavior over yesterday and today. Playback seems to abruptly stop at default resolution but choosing 720p may (and that’s the weird part) allow playback. Kodi 18.7 on MacOS 10.15.5. Some plays at 720 will work, others will stop after a couple of minutes. Working on discerning a pattern, but the problem seems to be on YT’s end - I’ve had playbacks of the same videos crap out on the Roku.

Hi,
I got the add-on setup and the API keys generated. I can search and play videos but when select a channel and then try to click on Playlists I get an error popup that says "YouTube:bad Request API Key not valid. Please pass a valid API key."
I also get the same error when I try to select "Saved Playlists". I'm using a OSMC on a Raspberry PI 3 and using Version 6.8.2. Any ideas why I'm getting this error?
Thanks!
