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.

### EDIT
**Fixed version:**
Alpha release appears to have resolved the majority of the issues so far:
https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases/tag/7.x.x-dev
Not in Stable branch (yet), so leaving the issue open until pushed to Stable branch.
**Potential (manual) Workaround(s):**
@RNavega provided a fix that seems to work for now:
https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/issues/442#issuecomment-1516245701
Specifically, the "payload" section seems to be the fix.
Another version of the fix to video_info.py which seems to be more reliable:

Python 3 is part of Kodi 19-Matrix. We are already at Kodi Omega 21.

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
