Problem is solved..at least for me. If you go to Youtube and login, there's a little gray drop down arrow up at the top right. Click that and you can see a new email address that the account is associated with under the login name.
Clicked on the settings link to the left and it took me here:
From here I clicked the Set up a password button where I was then directed to a page to enter a new password and a new account was created. It's that account information that needs to be entered into the Youtube XBMC settings. Everything is working fine now.
I don't get it , I have the same login issue with Xbmc's youtube -addon (Win 7) for 2 weekly , hope for the addon will fix itself , but I guess not , so turn to this forum:
I never associate my youtube acct to google + , so I don't even see the different name you are talking about. Can someone list a step by step how to fix the login issue again, thanks
sfbay: I don't get it either. I still don't completely understand how Google+ is utilizing the user login ID's and how they want to integrate it with Youtube, although it's quite clear that they want one "real" ID to be used for all of their Google services. This is a tall order though seeing as though Youtube had millions of users before they bought them. At the same time, it seems like they want to keep third party use of their services separate, hence the whole Third Party Login process in my original post. I kind of lucked out finding a way to get the Youtube plugin working. I spent more time than I should have trying to figure out what went wrong, since it was working just the other day with no problems.
I think it had something to do with updating of my Google account through my Android phone. Prior to not being able to access the YT plugin last week, I had updates turned off for the last year and a half. I decided I would go ahead and just update the phone with all my apps. after which the YT plugin stopped working. I'm pretty sure that update caused the issue for me because my Google Music app and my Youtube app were updated to completely new versions. I can only assume that my Google+ account was updated too, which caused me now login using the Third Party ID.
It's still pretty confusing when logging into Google+ and Youtube since they have different login ID's.
I will say though that I'm pretty confident that it's not a plugin issue. It's a Google/Youtube issue. At least for me
BTW, I just realized that I blacked out my ID on the screen shots. @@
