Hi @duan78,

Apologies I can't remember the exact set of steps but it goes something like this :)

First, You will need to use a google account and log in to https://console.cloud.google.com/

From there, you need to create a new Project (there's a guide for that here https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-project) But all you need to do is go to https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate and type in any project name, something like "SponsorBlockTV" will do, ignore the location/organisation field

You should now be able to see this screen

On the search box on the top type in "Youtube Data API" and select the "Youtube Data API v3" under the "Marketplace" section

On this page, click the enable "Enable" button, if you get automatically re-directed that's fine, otherwise click the "Manage" button that appears after a while and you should now be on this screen

Click the "Credentials" button on the left side, then click "+ Create Credentials" at the top, choose API Key in the dropdown, copy the key and paste it into you config.json
