YouTube Addon (and twitch addon): Can't play videos when logged-in

  • I have the weirdest behavior which is I can't play any videos when I am signed-in on kodi.

    Full log is attached where I:

    1. boot LibreElec on my Raspi4
    2. go into the youtube addon and go to "my subscriptions"
    3. That loads long but shows an empty "folder" (does not seem to generate log entries)
    4. I then use my phone to share a YT video via the yatse app
    5. Does not play (see Errors with timestamp 23:44:04.062)
    6. I "sign out" in the youtube addon
    7. Reset maccess manager, clear function cache, clear data cache
    8. I use my phone again and share the same YT video via the yatse app
    9. It plays flawlessly (see timestamps 23:45:33.034 ff)
    10. Again, I do the whole Auth dance to "sign in" in the youtube addon
    11. Use my phone once more to share via yatse app
    12. Errors with timestamp 23:47:36.298

    I use a Raspi4 8GB RAM with LibreElec 9.2.7

    (on my old Raspi3 with some older LibreElec 9.x it worked, but I want to replace it with the RP4)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated since I need my watch history to work correctly, so I need to be signed in on kodi.

    cheers

    addendum: my YT account is sort of special (it's from before Google bought YT) in that it is a "brand account". I tested it with another YT account and there it sort of works:

    • sign-in and play videos via "yatse share" is working!
    • "my subscriptions" is still an empty list
    • "watch history" in YT app does not show the just watched (on kodi) videos as it did back then

    So might just be a small clue...
