Modifying the GUI is not done safely

This weird issue sometimes plagues users and can cause the application to crash. The connections, to other programs, that I've built so far can break randomly because PyQt5 doesn't like it when you try to modify the GUI from outside the main thread (updating the player names, round title, etc).

My current understanding of how to fix the issue comes from this SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6783194/background-thread-with-qthread-in-pyqt

History

Requirements

• Must be easily accessible through the menu bar
• Must allow viewing all the info in the object using viewer class
• Must have a load button that updates the form
• Does not need to be accessible across instances/sessions

Can't monetize videos as a YouTube Partner

A bit of work has been done so far, but I need help testing because I am not a YouTube Partner so I can't directly access the ContentID API.

Disable automatic updates

Forcing an automatic update is bad, especially in the manner that you're doing it. Forcing the user to run the whole program as root is dangerous and if you accidentally upload some code that breaks something people will be pissed.

Instead, consider checking for an update by doing something like making an __init__.py with

__version__ = '1.10'

Then in your main

import json
import requests

url = 'https://pypi.python.org/pypi/meleeuploader/json'
json_information = requests.get(url).text
latest_version = json.loads(json_information)['info']['version']

if (__version__ != latest_version):
    # do something to warn the user or maybe request admin rights
    # consider using something like elevate(https://github.com/barneygale/elevate)

App is blocked

When using the application and logging in, i will see this

"This app is blocked This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access"
