Youtube addon broken

This one does the same job:- https://shorturl.at/kpC68

I dont think it is API issue, more like symlink and dependency when compiling inpustream:

2020-04-13 12:31:58.182 T:3451904896   ERROR: ADDON: Could not locate inputstream.adaptive.so.2.4.2

After CE update to version with newer kodi binary addons, youtube works again fine (using own keys for long time)

I run the YouTube add on (with API keys) for trailers but can’t get the sound to work. I get sound every 5-7 seconds, then it’s silent, some sound, silent. And so on for a full trailer. Otherwise sound works on the system (Odroid N2) with no problems, it’s just anything I run in the you tube add on. It’s also sound stutter using the other functions directly in the add on. I run 9.2.2 now when tested. Also done a update of the add on but that didn’t help.

It’s possible that you use AVR via HDMI and audio track is AAC.
In that case you need to choose HDMI Multi Ch PCM in audio settings

@Cees, I did an API installation yesterday anyhow since I have problem with the sound staggering in the add on, but that didn’t help for the sound either… :frowning:

In CoreElec you mean? Not in sound bar or TV? Just that all other sound I run I have no problem and I’m sure some has AAC. But of course I will try that, sounds promising, but in CoreElec settings?

In Kodi setting part: System->Audio settings

Great, thx, I will try!

Hi boot2k3 again. The test is done and I had Multi PCM already. I switch to some others, tested, no sound and switched back to multi PCM and I get some few seconds of sound and then silence for a long time and a occasional stutter of sound again… This add on was working on 9.2.1 for a long time but approx 14 days ago it started like this, I think it started when I got the problem with the API keys. Then when I got it working again this problem occurs. I was hoping 9.2.2 would solve it but not. And also if I did the full API thing also which I did on 9.2.1 a couple off days ago, but that wasn’t the solution either.

Seems that YouTube have set things such that only a valid API key works now. None of the quick fix solutions work any longer.

Update: Finally got my API’s configured. Quite simple really. Had issues before because Google Console was logging me in on my wives gmail account and then I was trying to use my tablet with my email account to verify the API. Need to make sure that the computer you use has the same gmail as the device you you use to verify.

I’m struggling with the guides but I’m going to keep trying until I get it working.

Trailers work but YouTube addon if I want to search YouTube has Api error

I’ve stuffed around this a few times. Just cant get it working…grr.
I don’t normally give up but this time I’ve spent too much time :frowning:

I did got You Tube working with personal API registering. It worked for some month, but lately I got a mail from you tube:

The following projects have not accessed the Services in more than 90 days, and their API quota has been revoked in accordance with the Terms of Service.
If you plan to resume use of the Services, you can request quota using the form linked below.

But in this form, there are so many questions. I cannot answer them all.

Any other possibility to get it working again?

Normally it’s easier to solve this type of issues in the kodi forum directly.

@Vasco thank you for the hint. After a quick look into the Kodi form it seems the people are creating a new API project with new credentials and using this. Not sure if I really want to do this every few month,…

My API keys has lasted for at least six months, it doesn’t seem that they lapse.

I created API Keys some months ago for YT and it’s been working fine. Now I’m getting Quota Exceeded error when trying to access YT.

Anyone know of a fix?

I strongly suspect that google is slowly trying to kill this add-on since it breaks their advertising model.
