I installed the youtube addon, and in order to do anything i have to be signed in.
The problem is that when i "thought" i could use the web viewer to login:
it keep showing form item as password-hidden, <- this is prevent me from sigining in....
it will not let me put in an email address...
the workaround i found and used is this:
First make sure that hidden files are shown (i think its under settings->apperances->file list)
The two important places to locate and find are...
/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.youtube
/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube
if you have windows and kodi (either the full or portable):
%appdata%/Roaming/kodi (windows 8/10 location)
or
the portable_data folder
/addons/plugin.video.youtube
/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube
in this case use windows 8/10 kodi to sign in, and once I'm in, copy and overwrite the folders.
the only bad thing about this, there is a time limit before I after to repeat these steps....
My problem is i should be able to do this from web viewer but cant, and when ssh'ing to attempt to install chroiumin,
the system tells me it cant do it and i need to use the addon menu....
when googling this, i keep get redirected to the rasp pi or droid version instead of mine....
