RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - Fludizz - 2016-02-21
I have checked for updates but I do not have a .17 version in the OpenElec plugin repo's.
I did do the workaround activoice provided with a minor addition: After deinstalling the youtube plugin, I had to delete the .kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/ folder to avoid it from attempting to use the old credentials.
Thanks a million for this workaround activoice!!
I now have a working Youtube plugin with my own API keys. All I have to do is keep in mind to update the API keys if the plugin happens to get updated anywhere in near future
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - DarrenHill - 2016-02-21
One other thing you can do is also edit the add-on.xml file in the root of the add-on folder and manually change the version number. If you set it higher than .17 then updates won't happen whilst the new version is lower than the newly set version number.
That may help to stop confusion and auto updates if you've set your own API keys up.

The original bromix youtube plugin from the kodi API will no longer work as the api keys have seem to have been removed from google. (least thats what i think happened).
The plugin from finalmakerr seems to work perfectly. I tried all links on my version (using Jarvis) and i get everything.
http://offshoregit.com/finalmakerr/Fixed%20Addons/plugin.video.youtube-5.1.17.zip
The plugin from ntdrt is one i have not tested myself so i can't tell you if it fixes everything or not but i wanted to be fair to post it since some users have had success with it.
Edit, the api workaround was the one mentioned by activoice.
Source: https://github.com/kolinger/plugin.video.youtube
ZIP: https://github.com/kolinger/plugin.video...5.1.17.zip
To borrow some info from PhunkMaZ in post #3131 i suggest you do this.
1) delete the folder "plugin.video.youtube" from profile director folder "[profile]\addons\"
2) delete the settings-folder "plugin.video.youtube" from folder "[profile]\userdata\addon_data\"
then go to your Kodi profile folder, switch to addons directory and uncompress the plugin.video.youtube-5.1.17.zip into that directory. Make sure it says "plugin.video.youtube".
OMSC: /home/osmc/.kodi/
RPI: /home/pi/.kodi/
OSX: /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Kodi/
WINDOWS: %APPDATA%\kodi\
OpenElec: /storage/.kodi/
some information for profile is at http://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata
Kodi Devs is there any way you guys could remove the youtube addon from the repository or put one of the fixes from this forum into the repo. I honestly just don't think the original API works anymore. I think it would cut down on the confusion.
I hope this helps and please click thank you button on the bottom of this message if this has helped you and thank you to the 2 people ntdrt and finalmakerr whom have helped giving us a plugin that fixed what bromix has started with his fantastic plugin.
Thank you!
Jeff
I tried both options and while ntdrt doesn't work at all for me, finalmaker's works as well and swapping all the keys in bromix's with my my own. The bad news is, I still lack subscriptions. What do I need to do.
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - Angry Gorilla - 2016-02-21
my verdict on .17 is that it didn't work until I signed in. So it works at the moment for me but the question is for how long?

(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)
etc... http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200735&page=190
I wanted to say that activoice's instructions in above link are very clear and easy to understand.
I didn't try this fix before because it looked very difficult to me on first glance, I am not an expert on this type of thing but, but I must say I found the instructions were PERFECT, he didn't miss a thing. So thanks for taking the time to explain it so well.
After uninstall, deleted the folders/files, then reinstall and I entered the three keys... api key, OAuth Client ID, client secret, all as per instructions
Then I did 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
I have tried this on a few installs of Kodi and it works mostly GREAT with only two exceptions where I get an error ....
Code:
My Subscriptions = OK
Popular right now = OK
Search = OK
My Channel = OK
Playlists = OK
Subscriptions = OK
Browse channels = Exception in ContentProvider, Unknown Kind"
Live = Project marked for deletionHas anyone else experienced this ?
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - SimonC - 2016-02-21
I am also seeing Unknown Kind" when trying to Browse channels and the marked for deletion when selecting live. Everything else works great though.

It can just depend on traffic through the API.
Try again tonight and see if it's still fixed.
RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - pluginbroken - 2016-02-21
Okay. On my way out I saw someone post that the problem went away when they updated to Jarvis. I didn't realize Jarvis was out of beta but hey it seems so. I think whatever was different between isengard and jarvis is reflected in .17. In otherwords. Anything before Jarvis (Kodi 16.0) is not supported in .17 of the youtube addon. So anyone still having issues, update to jarvis, try this: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?pid=2251981#pid2251981
Or this: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200735&pid=2213129#pid2213129
And it should work if you're running jarvis. I think. Don't quote me on that. If something like this could be collected in a stickie. That'd be nice I think.

Finished an in-place upgrade to Jarvis from Isengard this morning, upgraded to YT.17 last night and YouTube was fine except those items I just mentioned (browse channel/live). When I checked YouTube after the Jarvis upgrade the only thing I needed to do is sign-in and do the verification x2. After that, everything is back to where it was last night. In other words, Jarvis + .17 YouTube works except browse channel/live.

I can't see how Jarvis makes a difference. I have 8 instances of Isengard on various different boxes and .17 works perfectly on all of them. What I did was uninstall .16 then delete the plugin.video.youtube folder from kodi/userdata/addon_data and then install .17. Then I just had to go through the double login process on Youtube, job done.

You need to downgrade to 5.16. Jarvis, if you select Update on add-on, allows downgrading. If you then copy the old login_client.py it works once again.
Still I don't understand how and why 5.17 was added to the official repository with no explanation here.

My thoughts was because 5.16 was majorly broken, least thats what i think but i'm not a dev so i'm not sure. I appreciate them updating it though.

RE: YouTube (IMPORTANT - READ FIRST POST) - jdf76 - 2016-02-21
Thats odd, but i don't believe i updated to Jarvis till after my plugin broke.
another thing people could do is check the kodi log file and see what the plugin outputs, maybe we can fix the issue right here.

Can you check the log file and see what the plugin outputs when you try live/browse channel. My version works. I'm on Kodi 16 Release (OSX 10.11.3) and i'm running xconfluence for a skin is that does anything. I'd like to see what the log says so that maybe we can figure out whats going on.
