hi i can't play any live videos
is there any fix for that?

Me too .....All I see is code but ain't got a clue what to do.

Find on your computer and open (eg with wordpad) the file: YouTubeLogin.py
Look for text string: nick = self.common.parseDOM(ret["content"], "p", attrs={"class": "masthead-expanded-acct-sw-id2"})
Replace that with: nick = self.common.parseDOM(ret["content"], "span", attrs={"id": "yt-masthead-user-displayname"})
Save and Exit
It worked for me as well!

This fixed my login issues with the youtube addon

Same here, finally! Thank you very much enigma83!!

Hi.
After couple of hours spent on looking for solution, learning python and testing I finally found a fix for Yotube subscriptions not showing up if your primary account containing this data is yt account and not g+ account. Generally my fix allows you to choose which one you want to use.

Here is what to do:

File YouTubeFeeds.py around line 114:

Replace

Code:

url = url % "default"

With

Code:

if (self.settings.getSetting("use_yt_username") == "true"):
    url = url % self.settings.getSetting("yt_username")
else:
    url = url % "default"

File resources/settings.xml after line 6:

Code:

<setting id="user_password" type="text" option="hidden" label="30201" enable="!eq(-1,)" default="" />

Insert:

Code:

<setting id="use_yt_username" type="bool" label="30289" default="false" />
<setting id="yt_username" type="text" label="30290" enable="!eq(-1,false)" />

Finally in file resources/language/<your language>/strings.xml after line 154:

Code:

<string id="30288">Show YouTube History</string>

Insert (translated to language set in your xbmc settings):

Code:

<string id="30289">Use YouTube Username</string>
<string id="30290">YouTube Username</string>

You will find necessary settings in plugin's configuration.

I hope this will also work for you.

I hope this will also work for you.

Thanks for the work, login works fine (when I remembered to add username) one of the problems I have is not all my subscriptions show up, maybe it's because I have 278 subscriptions but it looks like it might be only those with G+ that show up (maybe?).

It worked after weeks of no-xbmc-youtube misery! Thanks!

FYI. The YouTubeLogin.py edit fixed my login problems on both my Macbook and my Pivos M1. I have now a backup of the YouTubeLogin.py - just in case.

I'm having issues logging in as well. I attempted the YouTubeLogin.py edits from a few pages ago, but no luck.

I get prompted for the 6 digit password. I enter it, then the plugin immediately returns an error.

Thank you very much i3Ki for explaining clearly what to do. It worked like a charm for me. Just remember to delete YouTubeLogin.pyc also, after editing and saving YouTubeLogin.py file. It gets regenerated the next time you run the plugin.
