The VideoLAN Forums

Not sure that no update is needed, but the script has not been modified since February, and the people who care of that are rather reactive.
Can you detail what does not work (the link of the video, what happens precisely) ?

I use the latest version. You can find it:
- in the directory http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/last/, use vlc-3.0.0-git-*-win64.exe for the 64 bits version
- in the directory http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/last/, use vlc-3.0.0-git-*-win32.exe for the 32 bits version

I don't know it is possible. Do you have a particular reason to want to do so ?

To be sure, you want to have the log in the terminal, or open from the command line both the main window and the message box ?

I have just tried with the latest build, and there is no problem for me.
Do you have the same problem for other youtube links ?

I have now tried with 64bit 2.2 nightky, and 3.0 nightly First, I want to clarify what I said. When I wrote 2.2 nightly, I meant the last nightly and indeed it's 3.0. Sorry about that. I do not really know what to say. The youtube.luac that goes with the nightly version should work, so try to delet...

If you're using VLC 2.1.5 64 bits, there is another issue (https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11897). It has been solved in 2.2.0. So the solutions are using the 2.1.5 32 bits, or 2.2.0 nightly (nightlies.videolan.org).

It may be a problem of rights. You tried to save it directly in "c:\program files\..." whereas you your browser did not have the rights to do so. The easiest solution is to save the file in another directory first (typically "downloads"), and then copy it in "c:\program file...

I must admit it is my fault. On the right of youtube.lua, there are three links "blob", "history" and "raw". The link "youtube.lua" points to the same page as "blob", it is an HTML page containing the file youtube.lua along with some metadata. So if ...

Good.

I have no problem with both videos, but I'm using a nightly build.
With VLC 2.1.5, I have no problem either. Maybe just try to reinstall your version. Or tell us more about your configuration.

Still don't works...

Can you give a link that does not work, just to be sure it also happens for others ?

If you want something easier to install, you can also install a nightly build of VLC from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org. But note it is theoretically less stable, since it is not a release (although there should be no problem for simple tasks). Also note that I was not suggesting something too...

Before going any further, note that Youtube regularly updates something on his side and that breaks the functionality in VLC. It happened again a few weeks ago. The file has been updated in the source of VLC but won't be distributed before the next release. But you could download the new version man...

Once again, the file youtube.lua has been updated on the git repository: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD. Save this file as youtube.lua in the right directory (/usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/ on Linux, C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist\ on...

I don't really know if your post expects an answer since it actually explains what to do. If you just want a confirmation, I can give it to you. Yes, the procedure explained in https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=111977&hilit=youtube#p379147 is the good one, except that the link ...

I hope this is not too late to answer your question. The text you see when you follow the link is the script itself. You have to put it in a file called youtube.lua and save it in the right place (https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Building_Lua_Playlist_Scripts/#Introduction explains what the g...

In fact, there is another problem with windows 64. Here is the bug report: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/11897.

Not sure where your problem comes from but youtube changed something on its website during last July, so first of all start by updating the youtube.lua script which can be found here: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=bl ... ua;hb=HEAD.

Youtube changed something on his side. The script used by VLC and stored in youtube.lua or youtube.luac (the compiled version) must be updated. The last version can be found here: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD. Store this file as youtube.lua...

The youtube.lua file was updated 10 days ago. Check http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=bl ... ua;hb=HEAD.

The youtube.lua file was updated 10 days ago. Check http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=bl ... ua;hb=HEAD.
To use the new script, delete the youtube.lua or youtube.luac file you may find in your VLC directory and use this file instead as youtube.lua.
