mopidy-youtube: Key Error: "u'items'"

Hi, I recently tried to find a youtube video from Mopidy with this plugin, and it seems to crash the whole search feature from Mopidy with a "Key Error: “u’items’” exception. The plugin has been working fine before on my Mopidy setup, and I haven’t changed anything so far, so it’s probably a Youtube side issue?

Just in case I updated pafy and the mopidy-youtube but the issue is still present.

Here is the Traceback.

It looks like the issue stems from an API key issue. There’s no ‘items’ in the data dictionary because the API call itself is returning an error, stating that the key in use is disabled or has never been used.

I worked around this on my machine by registering an API with google and just changing the key (line 23) in mopidy_youtube/backend.py . Not sure that’s a good long-term solution, though.

@custozza I was thinking about the same. If there will be API key in config, it could work just fine. I will try it later today and if it will work on my mopidy I can make merge request.

@ajoshpratt thx for the reply. I’ll try it as soon as I find time. Maybe it would be good to add the API key as config parameter in the ext.conf?
