  • The error

    The Activity Log shows a critical entry like:

    core: invalid URL received: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories?part=snippet&id=10&key=...

    Jamroom was asked to load an address from another site, and the address isn't valid.

  • Fixing it

    Look at the address in the message:

    • & instead of &: the address was HTML-encoded somewhere, often when it was pasted into a setting. Enter it again with plain &.
    • Spaces, missing https://, or a typo: correct the setting or template the address came from.

    The entry's details in the Activity Log show the page it happened on, which helps find where the address comes from.
