I solved my problem by doing a new sign in with the google/device authorizing my app.

I did some quick tests this morning using version v7.0.6+beta.1 and this seems to solve the slowdown issue.

Indeed I confirm too

And seek back on live stream works fine now too with the last update of "InputStream Adaptive"

we must set in addon Youtube this :

xml:
Settings > Advanced > InputStream Adaptive > Use for live stream from Adaptive HLS to MPEG-DASH

Hello, I'm at a loss trying to get the Youtube add-on working.

I registered my API, Secret API, and client ID.  Everything is updated to most recent versions. Wifi signal strong.
I can search youtube for videos, thumbnails pop up, but I cannot play any videos.

I always encounter the:
" failed to get player response for video_id######### "
error.

If anyone has any troubleshooting ideas I would be deeply thankful.

Kodi 18.7 was released in May, 2020. Have you tried a newer version?

Especially given it (and the entire Python 2 support beneath it) is now officially out of support, as notified in this recent blog.

Thank you for the info DarrenHill and blueribb!
Very apricated. 

I wasn't aware that RetroPie is basically unable to support any recent version of Kodi and the "most recent" update it would provide is way way out of date.
Chromium + Pixel desktop it is then, luckily that is working now.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Krypton DSplayer 17.6 and Add-on Youtube 6.8.25, message: "failed to get player response for video_id "XXXXXX"

The API on Youtube had disappeared, Youtube is blocking this, you have to restart the YouTube API procedure: I connect but the videos do not start.

@lumin did you find a solution ? an option to activate?

In addition to madVR, I use Kodi for the classification and trailer of physical 4K Blu-rays, can we install Kodi Dsplayer 17.6 AND Kodi 21 (for trailers)? or do you have to choose 1 version?

Thanks,

[xalaros10]

On Kodi 21 with YouTube v7.0.6.2 can't appear embedded subtitles although I have enabled them on settings.
Also sometimes videos playing 4Κ and othertimes the same ones playing 720p.
