No matter what i did I just couldn't sign in. What I eventually tried which was instantly successful was instead of entering:

Username: myusername
Email address: myemail@where-ever.com
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I entered my username again in the Email address field thus:

Username: myusername
Email address: myusername
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I did have my gmail and youtube accounts unlinked, and I had changed my contact email address in the youtube account to something other than a gmail address.

So hope that helps anyone else still having probs.

Thanks for this. I might take a look at the YouTube API source code and see if there's anything I can do, but it might be a server-side issue. If your solution works universally, I could introduce the crude method of first trying the existing login format, and then using the username in place of the email address if it fails.

EDIT: I tried the above solution as a test, and it worked with my accounts (though I didn't experience any issues before), so I'll upload a new build later. Hopefully that will solve any remaining authentication problems.
