@giorgosperi
haha, thank u so much…
i haven´t give him a try so far. i will do that in the next few days… but when i have a combination running i will not change any more 
@domi
i did the same this is why i kept an image of v2.729.
i wish i knew if its working with a later version but not a big deal as long as it works.
i have tried all availiable versions of your plugin with latest volumio.img version but it all the time stuck at downloading plugin:
root@volumio:/home/volumio/Downloads/youtube# volumio plugin install
This command will install the plugin on your device
Compressing the plugin
Plugin succesfully compressed
Progress: 10
Status :Downloading plugin
and nothing happens next … any suggestion?

You should not be connected as user root but as user volumio to install.
How to install the youtube plugin for volumio
First of all we need to activate SSH:
Go to:
Volumio.local/dev (Or whatever your ip is)
Click enable SSH
For Win Users:
Download Putty:
https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty-64bit-0.74-installer.msi
+Install Putty
+Host Name (Your Volumio IP/The number)
+for Username type : volumio
+for pw type: volumio
To get the Youtube Plugin installed type:
wget http://volumio.github.io/volumio-plugins/plugins/volumio/armhf/music_service/youtube/youtube.zip
Now we need to create a folder:
mkdir ./youtube
Now we are going to unzip the compressed file we just downloaded:
miniunzip youtube.zip -d ./youtube
Now change directory:
cd ./youtube
From here we cann install the plugin with the following command:
volumio plugin install
It will ask you if you want to activate it. Just exit putty and reopen it.
now we will get rid of the installer files and the folder:
rm- rf youtube
Now we need to update:
npm install ytdl-core@latest inside cd /data/plugins/music_service/youtube/
Almost done. We need to restart :
reboot volumio
Go back to volumio.local/dev and disable SSH
Done
This plugin don’t work.
I have installed this last night… then it worked… but this morning " error no results " showing again …
Running raspberry pi 3b latest volumio …
Do not forget to restart Volumio
if you are using you personal api check if you reached the limit
same here fresh install with leo’s how to …
worked once didn’t play sound … done a reinstall of the latest version of volumio and the youtube plugin 1.0.1 for the sparky …

You seem not follow this thread. If you use the lastest version of youtube plugin, you will get error about quota limit. That’s notified by volumio dev team. That’s why other guys include me is still using version 20191224.
i have tried both versions…
at the moment trying with latest volumio version and YT plugin 20191224.
it indeed tells me in the log i have reached quota… but i have no clue how this can be…
Log :
Jul 10 09:44:09 volumio-rasp2 volumio[1001]: error: Failed to execute browseSource: Error: The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota.
And these number are from google Dashboard :
[YouTube Data API v3] , Requests 52 , Errors 100% ,
with the latest version if i press it many times i get some info but to click 100 times to get in to
the next folder …and again for the rest in the end …i can pick a song but doesn’t play it …(doesn’t load it in player) when all info is already there.
but it’s not workable to do this …
on the older versions 0.9, 1.0 i get no code so could not test those…
@Osdieman, i had the same problems, these are caused due to the new version of volumio. i did a new installation with volumio 2.729 (thanks @giorgosperi for helping me with this problem) and YT 0.1.0 and everything works fine with my personal API. With newer versions the quato limits are reached within some search commands on YT, because if u select a song the whole search results are loaded into your playlist which strongly demands your quata. This problems don´t exist with older volumio versions (downloads are available here: Older volumio versions .img files) YT downloads u can within this forum on older posts… hope that this can help u out
