Any particular reason you've added youtube to exclude_patterns? You'd only need to exclude something if there's a more general rule present in the whitelist (for example, if you wanted to allow all videos from https://my.cool.site.example.org/ EXCEPT the ones from https://my.cool.site.example.org/secret-stuff/ - you'd put the first one in whitelist and the second one in exclude). It doesn't make sense to exclude the entirety of youtube - you needn't put it in the whitelist in the first place.

To edit this, you would have to edit the trakt config file (see https://github.com/iamkroot/trakt-scrobbler/wiki/FAQs#where-is-the-log-fileother-data-stored) and remove the part from fileinfo.exclude_patterns
