Can't play/stream or download (mp3) YouTube video.

[Casey Jones]

Hi,

I'm trying to download a YouTube video or a playlist in mp3 format.
When i add the link to VLC player it doesn't start playing. It stays blank, and a yellow line starts moving back and forth in the play progress bar on the bottom. It stays like that and VLC crashes.
Here is a screen recording of it: https://youtu.be/-Q-0YwNih-Y
VLC Version: 3.0.8 Vetinari
Fresh installation. Old settings, preferences cleared.
Youtube Luac file's date: 2019.08.14

Any help is much appreciated.

Casey
