YouTube plugin doesn't work anymore (2.378)

Help and Support Help
1

Hi, after the last upgrade to 2.378 version, when I select YouTube the following 3 messages appear:

  1. ! Browse error - An error occurred while browsing the folder (in red, but what folder ?)
  2. Volumio has no permissions - Grant Volumio access to your TouTube account to access your playlist (in blue)
  3. YouTube - Fetching data from Youtube. This may take some time (in blue)

I put a string in the search box and the I received the last message again.
I waited, but nothing happened … I tried to update the plugin and to re-enable it, without results.
How can I authorize the access ? Before I didn’t do anything and all worked very well.
Or the problem is another?

Thanks.

I noticed that in the page Installed Pluging (Setting) there is an item:
Accounting Setting

  • Please grant Volumio read-only access to your YouTube account. Enter this code on google.com/device:
  • Code: NVJY-GJNV (auto-setted)

This code may cause the error?

None have this problem? Or none use the YouTube plugin?

Since I received too many answers and advice… so I tried to do it myself. :wink:

  1. I disabled the plugin
  2. I enabled it again and the displayed code in the Account Setting changed
  3. from the web interface I clicked on the link: google.com/device (without steps 1 & 2 I got “Code error”)
  4. I entered the new displayed code and authorized the device on my Google account

Now it finds and plays music and does not return the initial " Browse error " anymore.
But I don’t remember doing this in the past when I upgraded the system to a new version.

Hi all,

It seems the code has to be really “fresh” to be accepted by Google / Youtube.
This is the reaseon why one has to disable/enable the plugin to get a new one.

Would be interesting for how long one can wait to register it until the “wrong code. please retry” message appears when trying to register the device.

I think this - and also the URL https://www.google.com/device should be mentioned somewhere in the plugin.

Hi,
I’m experiencing the following with Version 2.526 in the latest Chrome-Browser on Mac OS X

  • Installing plugin Youtube Playback
  • Activating Youtube Playback
  • Entering settings
  • Copying the code
  • Log in to google
  • Entering www.google.com/device
  • Pasting the code
  • Following the steps granting permission to Volumio Youtube connection
  • Last step is telling me, the connection has been successfully established
  • When entering myaccount.google.com/permissions there is no Volumio Youtube visible
  • The plugin does not work and gives error messages “volumio hs no permissions”

Uninstalling and deactivating/reactivating the plugin, entering the newly generated code to my google account does not help.
How can I make it work?

Many thanks and best regards
Muhackl

Had the same issue. Reset and reinstalled the Volumio. Problem solved.
Good luck!

I used an older version of Volumio and as of April 2019, there has been a change in the way Youtube handles these requests regardless of version used, what you do to login and register your device

8

I am unable to activate the plugin either… who can actually fix this?

Ok, got it working…this is the sequence of events needed apparently

  • uninstall current version of plugin (not sure if needed)

  • reinstall youtube plugin

  • activate in ‘active plugins’

  • goto settings of the Youtube plugin add the code to google’s url as in description (browser)

  • goto Volumio home youtube search, find out not working

  • go back to plugins and select settings Youtube plugin

  • you will now get the message that access is granted…

enjoy!!

(Btw Volumio, this plugin and Netsky rule! :wink: )

Hi, I can’t see the youtube plugin code. Can you help me?

Hi,

Just be patient, wait a while, and retry.
It seems the servers at google sometimes do not respond

Best Regards
