In order to log in, replace CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET with your native client ID and client secret values, by creating a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID here: click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID", then select "Desktop app".

I attached below some screenshots for guidance:

  1. Select the corresponding project name, then click "+ Create credentials"

  2. Select "Oauth ID"
    2021-01-20-141744_1920x1080_scrot

  3. Select "Desktop app"
    2021-01-20-141805_1920x1080_scrot

  4. Click "Create"
    2021-01-20-141820_1920x1080_scrot

  5. Copy the client ID and client secret values and place them into the api.json file.

  6. The ~/.config/youtube-viewer/api.json file should look something like this:

Select "External", then "create". Choose a random app name and everything should be set up. No need to send the app for review.

Scope should be "YouTube Data API" -> "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl".

It looks like you sent the app for review. Undo that if you did.

If everything is OK, you should be able to log in, as illustrated in the following screenshots:

Try right-click -> "Copy URL", then paste the copied URL into a browser.

Not sure, but double-check the api.json file (see the 6th point from #353 (comment)).

If everything looks alright, then you can try to log-in from the CLI version:

youtube-viewer --login

Can't locate object method "history_list" via package "Term::ReadLine::Stub" at /usr/bin/vendor_perl/youtube-viewer line 655.

It seems that you don't have the Perl module Term::ReadLine::Gnu installed.

Either install Term::ReadLine::Gnu, or set history => 0 in the configuration file of youtube-viewer (~/.config/youtube-viewer/youtube-viewer.conf).

I think YouTube/Google has recently made some changes, the above tips aren't working for me now. It is asking for Developer Contact, domain name etc., and also forces one to apply for 'project review/verification', thereby making it complicated. This has happened the moment I enabled this scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl. Here is the screenshot of the login-error:
gtkyt_error

I request @trizen to look into this issue and give the solution. Thanks.

Changed the deprecated redirect_uri value.

Potential solution to: #353 (comment) and #415 (untested)

More info on this issue:

	https://developers.googleblog.com/2022/02/making-oauth-flows-safer.html
	https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/native-app

Alternatively, we may try "TV and Limited-Input Device Applications":

	https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/limited-input-device

However, this does not support posting comments.

Thanks @trizen for the work on aab839b. This time I could go a bit further, allow the app to gain access, but after that it doesn't redirect, I have attached the screenshots below:
ytv_access
ytv_error

Am I missing something..?

trizen added a commit that referenced this issue May 8, 2022
@trizen
- Switched to "OAuth 2.0 for TV and Limited-Input Device Applications…
77ba84a 
…". (fixes #415 and #353 (comment))

The new mechanism uses the following scope:

	https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube

This scope is a bit more limitted than the previous supported scope (`https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl`).

It still allows liking and dislking videos, adding videos to favorites, viewing your playlists, etc.

One important difference is that this scope does NOT support posting comments.

For more info, see: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/limited-input-device

Users that are already logged in, there is no need to logout. Everything will work as before.

Also updated the README with updated info for logging in: https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/#logging-in

The OAuth client ID now needs to be of type "TV and Limited Input devices".
