YouTube User ID Invalid??

Hello,
It seems the YouTube User ID is an issue and has been for some time, but does not seem to be getting fixed. There are multiple posts of people saying their User ID won’t validate and I am having the same issue. Will there ever be a fix for this issue, or should those trying to connect YouTube just not try this plugin?
I’ve tried every ID imaginable and not a single one will validate. Is there some help as to where the ID needed could be found?
