Windows YouTube 2-factor login failing

DarkMorford · 2012-03-23 07:19

I noticed about a week ago that I'm not able to log into the YouTube plugin.

I use 2-factor authentication on my Google account. When I attempt to log in from XBMC, I'm prompted to enter my password and authentication code, as expected, but then I'm handed a "Script error: plugin.video.youtube" message. Any thoughts?

You could try generating an application specific password and using that, thus bypassing the 2 factor authentication for the plugin.

sureguys solution worked for me some weeks ago. You should definitely try it.

What version of the youtube plugin do you have?
I have the same problem and i have and old version (2.9.1).
I cant update to latest version for some odd reason..

Why not just create an application specific password?

How/when do you create the password?

I don't get prompted for password. Just script failure.

Forget the password q. Wink

I'm in, however get 404 page not found, when exploring. Opened port under system, network settings. With version 2.9.1 script error. Made a rollback and hot this far...
