Current Behavior

Using tubed, I was unable to watch any videos due to the quota exceeded. I have a working version of the main youtube addon, and followed the directions in this post to add the api keys to tubed.

With the keys added, the quota error goes away, however whenever I try to play a video, I get a playback error in kodi.

Steps to Reproduce

1. add api keys to tubed following directions in this post
2. restart kodi & login to tubed/google account
3. attempt to play a video and playback error occurs

Don't think this should be an issue. It is not a bug for sure.

You are using the addon in a way it was not intended to, this are the words of the dev:
"Access to your favorite YouTube content without the need to create or enter any API keys."

This is the whole point of this addon, you are doing the exact opposite and when you can't make it work you call it a bug?

I rather have the dev focusing on sorting things with google in order to remove the quota limits than wasting time on this,

seems like an unnecessarily aggressive response, but I think it makes sense to let the dev decide what he or she decides is a bug or not....

[RManPT]

It was not my intention to come as rude as apparently you felt it, disagrement is not aggression. But yes I am sensible when it comes to questioning ones work based on a problem that is solely the user's responsibility.

[feerlessleadr]

again, you are free to feel the way you do - I'll let the dev decide if this is an issue he or she wants to tackle. Thanks for the feedback though.

I did not sign in and it works for me, not sure related.

So uhh while I agree that this project should be to avoid API keys, the problem currently is the quota limits have kinda been forcing us to use an API key so I feel like this problem would have to be relevant until that 's fixed. I also feel that negotiating with google seems like a worse idea than trying to bypass their requirements as I've posted in this issue
