Youtube addon activation - eetaylog - 2016-10-20
Does anyone else have the issue of the Youtube addon constantly asking to go through the activate procedure (typing in the code on the youtube.com/activate site)? It seems to work ok for a day or so after signing in, but then seems to drop out and ask to activate again.

Has it always behaved that way?

It should ask you to put on 2 activation codes then be good. I think I had to put in 3 or 4 then it still wouldn't search. I don't really use the addon anyway.

Is pretty much my experience. I put the code in twice (as per the instructions) and then it works for a day or so, but then it asks me to do the same thing again.

although it's a beta, I can confirm this solved my problem on 16.1. Before I ran the updated addon, I went into settings and used the new options to delete cache and others, then ran the addon. I put in my 2 activations and up and running without issues for the last few hours.
