[QUOTE="Drimincus, post: 991589, member: 102863"] Should anyone be interested in this: yesterday I finally took the time to try and fix it. What I've found is that you need to enable your channel on youtube for this to work (should you not have one) and use the channel name as 'account name.' Here's where my problem was: Google, by default, uses your name from google+ as the channel name, and this will include a space bar (first name [space] last name). If you use that in the account name field, the subscriptions will not work (watch history will work, however.) What I did was make a new youtube account and created a channel for that account (note that I have not found a way to remove or rename a channel that was already created) using, in my case, the same username, not containing a whitespace. I used these credentials in onlinevideos and now everything works as expected. For my other (non-working) account I noticed that, though it uses the google+ name as the account name, going to youtube.com/user/firstname lastname does not work (nor does youtube.com/user/firstname%20lastname), and going to my channel gives youtube.com/channel/randomgeneratedstringhere. Maybe it will work if I fill in the random generated string, but I have not tested this. Thanks for the help, I'm glad it's working now. [/QUOTE]
