AttributeError breaks most of it

[cobrafast]

Today, seemingly randomly, the plugin stopped working for the most part. Signing in and out of YouTube accounts works, but none of the other menu items do. The error box says to look at the log, which says the following:

                                            AttributeError: 'XbmcPluginSettings' object has no attribute 'is_override_view_enabled'
                                            -->End of Python script error report<--

I tried the clear/delete options from the plugin config as well as reinstalling but nothing helped.

Kodi version 16.1 (16.1-5 arch package version)

How can I get it to work again?

Downgrading to add-on version 5.2.1 from local package cache seems to have helped. But this surely can't be the proper solution, right?

I'm having the same issue with the same log message (Youtube app complains about error even before logging in with my account).

I manually installed 5.3.4 and it worked fine for me.

Kodi 16.1 (Librelec 7.0.2)

Exactly the same on my side. I noticed that Youtube plugin updated to v5.3.5 today morning and after this update it stopped working. In log I have the same error:

Version 5.3.4 installed manually from zip works fine.

Something went wrong during the 5.3.5 PR, 5.3.6 is on official now which will resolve these errors.

Version 5.3.6 works fine for me, thanks!
