UPD: new login mechanism (removed the old one)
This is the most user friendly YouTube plug in ever!! The fact that you don't need to enter 2-factor authentication or generate an one time password is just awesome.
Thanks for your awesome work. Now there is no reason why this shouldn't be the default YouTube plug-in.

This is the mechanism of YouTube TV and should resolve common login issues, selecting the correct account and so on.

1.0.0~alpha29 (2014-12-14)
UPD: new login mechanism (removed the old one)
...
The new login seems to break the official YouTube add-on, atleast I could not start the other add-on at all after I have used the new login method.
I have installed your add-on on a OpenELEC Milhouse nightly build on my RPi. On another SD card I have OpenELEC 4.2.1 (latest stable) and there the official add-on is working. Since the official add-on is working on the installation that I haven't used your add-on on it seems like the new login method didn't change my YT account.
Does this happen to anyone else?
The new login is really nice. I forgot that I have edited a file yesterday and didn't test it afterwards. Your addon is great, sorry for the noise.
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - dkplayaclub - 2014-12-15
One more thing I noticed. Not sure if it can be fixed, but when browsing channels if you are looking at lists of channels, hitting "next page" loads a new list of 50 items, but most of them are just relisted, over and over again. If it would be possible to cut out all the duplicates it would be a big convenience.
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - dkplayaclub - 2014-12-15
I also had a thought tonight while browsing. I know it's not possible through the API, but it seems like it would be pretty doable in the addon. It would be great if I could add playlists to the watch later section. Let me know what you think.
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - dkplayaclub - 2014-12-15
Forgive me, but I just keep having ideas and I'm not trying to criticize, I just love this addon and want to get the most out of it. I also had the idea that a "now playing" option in the main menu would be really good to have, If a video is playing and you are browsing about it is easy to forget where you found the video originally. With a "now playing" button on main menu users could see the info for the currently playing video in order to like it, add it to a playlist, find related videos etc.
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - dkplayaclub - 2014-12-15
I also noticed that in "Browse Channels", the "Recommended for You" section is always empty. I was going to ask if "Recommended" could be added to the main menu, but it seems it may not be working?
OK. I will stop now, before you think I'm just being a pest Bromix. lol
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - stratotak - 2014-12-15
Just saw plugin had updated. Went to watch some youtube on my Raspberry PI and was met with go to youtube.com/activate. I have tried 3 times to activate.Keep getting wrong error code and cant activate.
Im talking about 3 different log in codes.
I just keep getting wrong code.
I have tried all caps letters then small letters and with and with out "-" between the 4 letter codes.
I know I am typing in the correct code..
EDIT" Never mind.I guess 5 time was a charm
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - suku_patel_22 - 2014-12-15
Is it possible to download the YouTube videos?
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - dkplayaclub - 2014-12-15
lol. I'm glad someone else had a request besides me. A download option would be nice I suppose. I know of an addon that will download any streaming video, but I don't know if it is allowed to be discussed here. Send me a PM and I will give you the details (probably when I wake up tomorrow, I'm getting pretty tired).

Wow, the new login function works great
. Thanks Bromix
RE: YouTube (alpha.29) - gott_sei_dank - 2014-12-15
+1 for the login, I was really surprised when the original YT plugin rejected a PR for the same function.

Really? I wasn't so sure if the community would like this kind of login (but it's the same login for SmartTVs/YouTube TV). It should resolve a lot of issues regarding the login. And thanks for the feedback

Thanks for sharing...I see (GitHub)...quite some legacy-code it is
The alternative to scrape the page is to use get_video_info. This accepts also a user token, so you get the stream-informations of private/restricted/and so on videos.

Sure. I mean putting an item in the main menu called "Now Playing". When a video is playing from YouTube, it would show the listing for the video that is currently playing. So it would be almost like getting a search result of one video (the one playing). From this listing you could like the video, add it to a playlist, mark it for watch later etc.
It would really come in handy if you forgot where you found the video because you were browsing while it played. I am sure there would be other reasons as well.
Hope that clears it up. Thanks again for taking the time to answer. If you have any questions just let me know.
