mps-youtube is giving errors about apt_key.
Short-term fix is to do the following.
1. delete ~/.config/mps-youtube/cache_py*
2. Open mps-youtube and typeset api_key AIzaSyApOW6Ur8oRM_1OACkkhxnNrbtv0e4qfaM3. quit mps-youtube
4. Start mps-youtubePhilosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

::I need some help with this.
Where will I find ~/.config/mps-youtube/cache_py* so I can delete it?

::Thanks for the help.
I went to .config/mps-youtube but I do not see a cache_py* file.
The only files that I see are: config, play_history, playlist_v2, and transcode.Dell Latitude D620 laptop with antiX 22 (64 bit)

Since the file is not there you don’t need this step – the file has either been previously deleted or never created, so it’s not a concern.
Start with
2. Open mps-youtube…
and perform the remaining steps.See if that works (referring to the four step procedure outlined by anticapitalista).

Hello, Brian!
This file (~/.config/mps-youtube/cache_py_3.7.3) is created after mps-youtube is stopped.
The next day, I delete it and then run mps-youtube.
The instruction written by anticapitalista works. I applied it.
But every day I delete this file again for the normal operation of the program.March 12, 2020 at 9:50 am #33456Moderator

::In that case it would be ideal if the program itself checked for the existence of the file and automatically cleaned up, either before or after each run.
Checking beforehand seems like the best option.

Yes, a convenient script does the job too. Thanks for sharing it with the community.
