[Solved] Change Google API key for Minitube

Hi guys,

I installed minitube from the official rep. but unfortunately I entered a wrong "code" (not actually the API key) in the popup. Can someone please tell me, where I can change it to the acutal key, so where is the config file located etc.?

Thanks beforehands,
Markus

It is probably stored somewhere in your .config directory, e.g.

$HOME/.config/Minitube.conf
$HOME/.config/$SOMETHING/Minitube.conf

Re: [Solved] Change Google API key for Minitube

Thanks, for your fast response. You were right, I found it in $HOME/.config/Flavio Tordini/Minitube.conf

I will try now to change the key and report if it worked!

Edit: Sooo, first I changed the key but it didn't work, I think because I generated a key for the wrong API yesterday. So I generated a new one for "Youtube Data API v3" for "Webbrowser" and now it works!

Thanks once more for your help progandy!
