in fairness i did read the first post - but that these updates were not pushed through to the main Kodi repository wasn’t stated - in fact other people seem to be able to get them from exactly that repository - hence the confusion.
anyway - looks like i have both the no-streams issue and the 401 wrong secret issue
may have to update the box to kodi 19 also
will try to work through one at a time 
The Youtube addon is available for both Leia and Matrix. Its clearly listed in the github. The Leia version will probably work on all older versions of Kodi, but thats for testing.
Shoog
I have it working on versions as old as 18.6.
There are only 2 versions to try and you will soon know which one installs as one will be rejected.
Should take a minute to find out.
Don’t know why you don’t see it. I saw it several days ago and updated it to 6.8.15 on my S905X box with CE 9.2.7…
thanks - that’s really odd
i think i may as well uninstall the app. reinstall it and create a new API key - and see where i am after that
oh, wait - are you on matrix/19 ?
You seem to be over thinking this.
Go to the link in the first post and download plugin.video.youtube-6.8.15.zip which should work for your 18.9.
Then install it.
much appreciated - will try that today and report back 
OK - i was overthinking it 
- fooled by the weird error messages
installed the zip file in the first link and its working perfectly again
thanks very much for the help and patience
Another update required to fix the latest break.
Hi all,
N2, CE 19.2 rc3, YouTube 6.8.16+matrix.1
YouTube has been working fine but today it will not play videos. I can search but not play videos, get the error to check logs.

Just one thread below.
Thank you, that fixed it.
I’m new to this forum but have been using Coreelec Kodi for many years, running on Nexbox A95X B7N (2G version).
I’ve recently started having errors playing some videos in the Youtube addon (v6.8.15), with the same issue occurring in Coreelec 9.2.7, 19.2 RC3 and nightlies. The addon has worked fine in the past, and I’m not sure exactly when the problem started as I’ve been away for a few weeks.
In an attempt to fix the problem, I’ve done fresh installs of the above Coreelec versions, installed the Youtube addon and Inputstream Adaptive from the CoreElec Repo, and enabled MPEG-DASH.
I can sign in to Youtube and search for videos ok, but when I try to play some (most) I get an error and a popup saying the video failed to play. I think that the issue may be with 1080 or HD video, as some (possibly lower resolution) videos play fine.
I’ve posted the log to http://ix.io/3vHl and also the dmesg log to http://ix.io/3vHm
The error shown in the log (after the various callbacks) is:
“/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib/youtube_plugin/youtube/helper/signature/cipher.py”, line 93, in _load_javascript
param = int(param)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘function(c’

I’m not sure what else to try and would appreciate any assistance in resolving this.
Just after posting this, I found that the developer has released a new version 6.8.16 on Github that seems to have solved the problem. Apologies for not finding this first!
https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases/tag/v6.8.16
Hi serafis,
Thank you for sharing. Here it is also working
Download the zip file plugin.video.youtube-6.8.16.zip from Releases · anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube · GitHub
Unzip and send “plugin.video.youtube” folder to /storage/.kodi/addons/
I follow the tutorial to generate the Keys https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/wiki/Personal-API-Keys
I still have the same problem with the v 6.8.16.
Will there be an version update?
