Hi,
My YouTube add-on has stopped working, throwing an error "YouTube error: check the log for more information" when I try to search for something.
I have manually added my own API keys (youtube.api.key, youtube.api.id, and youtube.api.secret) to the settings.xml in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/.
This is the error message (ssh from raspberry pi4) from the kodi.log.
