====== YouTube addon ======

The Kodi YouTube addon requires a google account and a personal API key and OAuth credentials.

Add the "unofficial" repository as the version in the official Kodi repository is outdated and likely will not work.
Links as per https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/wiki/Installation
<code>
wget "https://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/download/dev/anxdpanic/repositories/repository.yt.unofficial-2.0.7.zip"
</code>

Install repo in Kodi via settings -> addons -> install from zip file -> home folder -> yt unofficial zip


Create API key and OAuth credentials:
