Probably on the lighter side of "piracy", but as this is currently the only Kodi addons community on Lemmy (that I can find), I thought it was worth the shot.

I've been using the Youtube add-on with Kodi for years, partly to access trailers but also to share videos from my (Android) phone, using the Newpipe app. Until of course Google decided that you need API keys to access Youtube โ€” and I got rid of my Google accounts way back, so that's not an option.

I've installed the Invidious add-on as well, but I can't get it to work in the same way that the YT add-on did. Now, I know Google are doing their worst to trip up Invidious instances as well, but the issues might also be due to poor configuration on my part...

So my question is basically in the title โ€” is there any way to use Youtube on Kodi without API keys? I've tried searching online but it seems that, unlike me, most people are fine connecting a Youtube account to their home media centre...

Any advice or just links to tutorials are much appreciated!
