TobiasTheCommie Wrote:The login process to google/youtube is rather complicated, and there are many complications with both the process, and the code.
The plugin developed on(and mainly tested on) Linux and Mac OS X, though we endeavour to test it on windows before every major release as well.
Login issues have been prevalent in this plugin from the very beginning, and while it has improved it still appears there are some generic problems with log in.
As such, if you want any help with this issue you must follow these steps.
1) Uninstall and remove the youtube plugin (and addon userdata) from XBMC
* 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 ( This path might be wrong. Will verify when i get home to a vista computer after xmas ).
2) Restart XBMC and install the LATEST youtube plugin. Remember which method was used to install the plugin.
3) Open the plugin and go to "Advanced" in settings and enable "Plugin debug"
4) Go back to general and enter your username and password and confirm.
5) Restart XBMC
6) If you still have login issue open settings and retype your login credentials.
7) Upload your debug log to http://pastebin.ca/upload.php ( Do NOT upload part of the log, we need the ENTIRE log. The easiest method is through the link provided).
8) Post a message in this thread with your debug log, and with your selected installation method ( Install from zip / Manual install / From repository ) and any other information that might be relevant.
If you have problems following the guide, please ask and we will help you through it.
Addendum:
If you can login with no issues and you run windows ( especially windows xp ) it would be a big help if i could get the following:
1) Windows version
2) XBMC version/revision
3) Plugin version
Of course i would prefer a debug log. But any and all confirmation of success on windows would be interesting.
Sincerely
A Barstard Commie.
Hi there,
I've spent nearly 4 hours trying to sort this problem where i am unable to log into the youtube plugin.
It had all been working fine for months until all of a sudden today it stopped working on my laptop. I've got xbmc installed on an acer-revo too so i checked that and the plugin was still working and i could see all my playlists etc. I stupidly logged out of the plugin on the acer-revo and now can't log back in to that either!!!
So now i have 2 machines, both with XBMC, neither of which i am able to log into. I've got a gathering round my house tomorrow and was going to use my youtube playlists by queuing them!!
Someone please help!!

These are the errors
02:45:17 T:6912 M:2130870272 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/login&action=settings&
02:45:17 T:6912 M:2130870272 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/login&action=settings&) failed
The credentials are definately correct. I am using my email address to login and can do so no problems in internet explorer.
What am i doing wrong??
