Kodi plugins that are very common and popular such as the youtube plugin keep breaking. Said plugin will work for awhile and then break. Most recently trying to launch a live youtube stream causes Kodi to reboot, nothing has changed, the problem just develops for no apparent reason after a couple months and this is not an isolated problem specific to this plugin. What is Kodi without the most common plugins?===Youtube: badRequest API key expired ===Youtube: badRequest API key expired. Please renew the API key[[File:kodi-youtube-badrequest-2.jpg]]Reason: Google is getting more obnoxious. Google owns youtube. YouTube now requires an API key for personal use. You are required to register with Google / Youtube to get your own identifiable API key. The default API key has expired and no longer works, Some users have found changing the use preset API key set to a different value gets the add-on to work but will still have issues like “YouTube Daily Limit exceeded Your Quota will be reset at midnight.”To use the API Google wants you to sign up and give them your information so they can track you. This allows you to create an API Key, Client ID, and Client Secret. they want you to goto developers.google.com and register or sign in with your existing Google account.
