Endless activation request

[giordy]

Hi,

first of all, thanks for your work. Since yesterday when I start the add-on it asks for activation and to input a code that I see on screen at the url youtube.com/activate. No matter how many times I follow the procedure and try to complete the activation, I get a notification about some error from youtube and it becomes impossible to perform any search.

Second this error. Reinstalled, and tried to install from a ZIP file with the same results.

Debuglog would be userfull please

[nicolasr75]

I would like to provide the log file but don't know where it is located. I'm using OpenElec on a Rasperry Pi. There is a folder /storage/logfiles which contains zip files with timestamps and each zip file contains these files:

• 01_KODI
• 02_System
• 03_Hardware
• 04_Audio
• 05_Network
• 06_varlog
• 07_input
• 08_Filesystem
• 09_Journal-cur
• 10_Journal-prev

Is one of these files the relevant one?

@nicolasr75 I found my log in ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log @h0d3nt3uf3l I think this is the relevant error I am getting:

@paulnovo Exactly the same error here in the kodi.log although the paths are based on /storage instead of /home/foo on my RasPi.

I had the same error on a Raspberry Pi 2 running OpenELEC.

YouTube (5.2.1) on Jarvis (16.1) with Python 2.7.11

I managed to work around it by doing:

• Open YouTube plugin and get activation request
• Cancel activation request (should display the plug-in screen)
• Sign-out
• Sign-in again and activate twice

I got back to a normal state with my subscriptions.

I'm actually in the process of pushing 5.3.3 to the Kodi Repository but. if you feel comfortable upgrading on your on you can download it from plugin.video.youtube-5.3.3.zip Also if you run Krypton you can use Dash Support.

The error is "API Quota Exceeded" which is a big hint at what the problem is.
