RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - Lenkdrachen - 2016-02-12
"project marked for deletion"
how can i fix it?
----
okay its fixed
Quote:First uninstal the YOUTUBE addon (you probably don't have to do this but it was just cleaner this way I didn't have to delete any folders)
Then reinstal the YOUTUBE addon... don't sign in
Close KODI
Thent go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/
Click on Credentials, then New Credentials, then API key, and select Browser Key, give it a name and click Create (this creates the KEY)
Then back to Credentials
Click on Credentials, then New Credentials, then OAuth Client ID, select Other, give it a name and click Create (this creates the ID and SECRET)
At this point you've got 2 sets of credentials
Edited 02/06/16
Verify that the Youtube API is enabled
Go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/enabled
Verify that you see YouTube Data API v3 in the list
If it is NOT in the list go to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
Click on the link for YouTube Data Api
Click on Enable API at the top
Go back to
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/enabled
Verify that YouTube Data API v3 is now in the list
End of edit 02/06/16
Locate the file - login_client.py
(On Windows it's located here - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\plugin.video.youtube\resources\lib​\youtube\client
Within the file login_client.py find the section that corresponds to the version of KODI that you're using in my case I'm running version 15.2
youtube-for-kodi-15': {
'system': 'Isengard',
'key': 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
'id': 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.apps.googleusercontent.com',
'secret': 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'
Set the Key to the Browser API key you created first
Set the ID to the OAuth Client ID you created second
Set the Secret to the Client Secret shown in OAuth Client ID
(Make sure that you're copying and pasting these between the quote marks)
Save the updated login_client.py file
Then launch KODI
Select the YOUTUBE Addon
Select SIGN IN
Then do the 2 x activation thing where you go to
youtube.com/activate
Enter the code from KODI, click NEXT then click ALLOW
Then enter the second code from KODI, click NEXT, then ALLOW
And that should be it... mine seems to be working...
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - andrea1985 - 2016-02-13
hello all.
Can anyone explain to me why google code is needed?
it is possible to have this code without a google account?
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - nickr - 2016-02-13
Read the thread.
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - andrea1985 - 2016-02-13
thanks for the response nickr.
we must pay for using the google api?

No, it costs nothing. you just need a youtube/google account.
--------------------
Anyone else here still using Frodo (12) ?
I made the adjustment to the client python and got some interesting results.
If I adjust only the Frodo section keys/id's, it doesnt work.
If I set the custom keys/id's for the All Systems and Frodo Sections, Subscriptions and My Channel work again but My Subscriptions (new videos) still deosnt work.
If I adjust the Frodo, All Systems, and additionally the section above Fallback, the Subscriptions works but the My Channel does not.
so if anyones got the plugin to work fully on 12 since this latest little google change, please let me know, cheers.
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - Vefom - 2016-02-13
Can I get some help on how to apply this fix for SPMC 13.4.0?
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - andrea1985 - 2016-02-13
thanks qwertylesh,
I enabled the YouTube Data API v3 and now it is working.
But from now google knows what we are searching on youtube and if google decide to sell its api we need to pay for it.
I don't like it.
I was checking how youtube-dl works and I think it doesn't use any google api.
Anyone knows if there is the way to adapt youtube-dl as a kodi video add on?
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - rodalpho - 2016-02-13
Sure, someone has even done a bit of the heavy lifting:
https://github.com/jaimeMF/youtube-dl-api-server
This would support 1080p and higher resolutions through DASH also.
Of course the next step is for a developer to take an interest and actually create the Kodi addon. Which is kinda the problem with _this_ addon too.

Following Activoice's instructions from Post: #2847 while giving attention to SlimTrigger's addendum in Post: #2919 I have, for several days, been using Kodi's YouTube addon without bumping into quota limitations. Thanks for the invaluable assistance! I could never have worked through the issue alone. ~Chard in Oregon
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - DnC.Tv - 2016-02-14
well i created the new api and successfully got my youtube to login , however after it logged in my subscriptions and everything else is missing just says "unknown kind"
any ideas ?
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - cypher1055 - 2016-02-14
I have been using bromix repo to play Youtube videos on my Vu Solo2 with official Vu XMBC (13.2) software, but today I deleted the repo by mistake, so my Youtube add on stopped working.I have reinstalled the repo from the zipped file but it appears empty after installation? I even reinstalled Youtube add on version 5.1.6 as zipped file but am getting Project marked for deletion message? Any suggestions Guys?

This is a good question. I would be very interested in the answer.

This is the same problem that some of us are having discussed below. No solution yet for me. I am still experiencing this intermittently.

I continue to have this problem intermittently. I also do not have the YoutubeMusic-Addon installed. I suspect that if this issue corrected itself for you, that it may return periodically like it does for me. I am still looking for a permanent solution to it, because it can be annoying.
Ok, sorry guys... A had this problem for about 2 months and all I did today was uninstall YoutubeMusic and deleting some subscriptions on my YouTube-account over the broswer. After that problems were solved... This is why I thought, it could be a general solution :-(

(if this doesn't fix, or you mess things up you should be able to uninstall and reinstall the youtube plugin and it will reset to the default settings)
First uninstal the YOUTUBE addon (you probably don't have to do this but it was just cleaner this way I didn't have to delete any folders)
Then reinstal the YOUTUBE addon... don't sign in

You are a hero. Thank you so much!
The add-on works great again after I followed your guide.
