I really miss YouTube working in Kodi. I have followed cg0's instructions and I can get key but I can't make it work in Kodi. Tried several times to the point of giving up. Sure do miss when it worked.

I have no doubt I'm missing something or not following close enough. It's frustrating cause I can usually figure it out. Not this time.

Its not gonna work unless you enter all the info. If you just use it for trailers, then no need for any of this, but if you actually want to brwse Youtube, then you need to follow these instructions..

I dont either, I wouldnt waste my time on Youtube in Kodi. Why would you? The only thing I could care about is for trailers, and that doesnt need a key.

So do I, and I pay for premium, but Youtube is already on every device as an app already, with a better interface so whats the point really?
