I'm using XBMCbuntu with the latest YouTube add-on, however, some streams don't play, with no explanation either - has this been seen before? I have looked on the forums etc., but not found anything..
Thanks very much for any help..

Any updates? My account is not linked to Google +, so that's not it. Login Failure...

Just an FYI, the whole Google+ thing breaks the Wii YouTube channel as well. Took me all day to figure out why my kid couldn't watch YouTube anymore, turns out he had linked them.

Hi,
I had the same problem with not being linked with google+ so here's how i resolved it, worked for me and is a bit long winded but it did work. I went to youtube settings (The Website not the plugin) and from there accessed the "Authorized Access to your Google Account" settings. The page had already full access granted to youtube xbmc plugin so i removed that and uninstalled the plugin from xbmc and then made sure the two folders for the plugin were deleted, i use linux and the 2nd one listed below had not been removed so i deleted it
On linux make sure the following folders don't exist:
$HOME/.xbmc/addons/plugin.video.youtube/
$HOME/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/
On Mac make sure the following folders don't exist:
$User/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/plugins.video.youtube
$User/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/plugins.video.youtube
On Windows 7 and Vista make sure the fllowing folders don't exist:
\media\windows\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugins.video.youtube
\media\windows\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata/addon_data\plugins.video.youtube
after that i reinstalled the plugin and in settings (The Plugin) i added my username and an "Application-specific password" i had created on the same page i revoked access from which was the "Authorized Access to your Google Account" page. I then saved and accessed the plugin and it attempted to login, a few seconds later a message popped up saying please login with your account details (The same details that had not worked up to now) so i went back to the "Authorized Access to your Google Account" page and removed the password i had just created and added to the plugin, you do this by hitting revoke at the bottom of the page, then i entered my usual details and hey presto it logged in, its all a bit long-winded and can't say it will work for anybody else but worth a try maybe, no idea why it worked for me but it did

I was able to unlink the Google+ crap from my channel (somehow it made a Google+ Page out of my user name), but I'm still getting Login failed no matter what I do.
