Youtube App breaks with Python 3 requirement

There are a bunch of commits all mixed in together against 6.8.x which include a switch to Python 3.

Hopefully they untangle it and make 6.8 Python 2 again before release but if not it might mean buying new hardware to update from Odroid C2 to Odroid C4 in order to run CoreELEC. Lame.

Python 3 is part of Kodi 19-Matrix. We are already at Kodi Omega 21.
Upgrade your hardware or you need to stay with Kodi Leia.

It looks like at the end of the day it should be possible to disentangle Python 3 from these patches and have a working version for Leia. However it may not end up in any repos but be something people have to do for themselves.

I tried a few of the edits mentioned ( https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=356934&page=120 ) to fix this on my N2. But they failed. What fixed it was a newer version - Release 7.x.x-dev · anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube · GitHub. I installed from zip plugin.video.youtube-7.0.2.alpha5.zip and all back to normal :slight_smile:
