Tried Daum Potplayer...

It does not play Youtube urls directly, which is what I'm needing, besides the volume increase, which is a strong feature of VLC.

Oh well...

Thanks dude,

I'll investigate and try this Daum Potplayer for sure.

Hope it has the features I'm looking for, looks promising at first glance.

Alright thanks, I'm now googling to find if there's another media player out there that can increase the sound volume beyond the system sound volume and also can play YT videos directly off its url.

Thank TigerRag,

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

BTW, may I ask how you increase the volume to 400%? On the volume scale, I can only increase it to 200% max.

Thanks dude!!

Hi dude TigerRag,

The video just will not play.

Done the re-installation. Still no joy. Do you think it has to do with my router blocking streaming through applications but allowing streaming through internet browsers? I'm not sure what is happening and is waiting to hear if there're some who are facing the same issue as me. Pretty frustrating wh...

Tried the steps, but cannot download.

Is there any way to change the lua file for 2.0.1 version?

This is frustrating. Is it my ISP that is blocking? But if so, why am I able to play the Youtube videos from the Google Chrome and Firefox browser?

Any help will be most appreciated.

How do I download the video using VLC? Is it using the command Convert/Save? And then choose extension .webm?
I tried doing that and is not able to save the video.

Any assistance will be most appreciated.

The video can play when clicked on Youtube site. Tried closing VLC and opening it and did that many times. Same problem. More details of my issue: 1. My internet connection is wireless (wifi) and is 11Mbps broadband. Perhaps VLC expects a faster bandwidth? 2. There was one time and only one time tha...
