Re: VLC stopped playing youtube!

Oh it is not possible... It is certain that YouTube has been changed to break non-browser downloads.
Looks like yt-dlp is the next target.

PhantomJS mentioned in the screenshot seems to be this one: https://phantomjs.org/

Re: How do I prevent Auto Update?

Pass this link on to your system adminstrator: https://www.videolan.org/security/

It might induce them to upgrade to the latest version.

For example, Windows 10 version 1803. In addition, if Windows 10, was the PC upgraded from a previous version of Windows ...

Re: MP4 video problem

In preferences click the Video button and set Output to "D3D11 video output". Next, click the Input/Codecs button and set Hardware-accelerated decoding to "DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) 2.0". Save, exit and restart vlc. This combination works best for me. Incidentally, both y...

Re: How to play ipv6 stream url in vlc 3.x

This is a youtube ipv6 stream which can be played in vlc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd10hjClCXo

However, I don't know where the settings are located to force ipv6 in the current version. That said it may not be necessary to do that considering the fact that the above link works out of the box.

Re: Can anybody play this youtube video?

Pixelated playback again complete with stuttering when connected to my ISP.

But if I Iogin to my VPN (Mullvad) then it videos play correctly. So it would appear to be a network issue rather than anything else.

Re: Can anybody play this youtube video?

If you're streaming from youtube, Google often changes the code which results in playback problems on vlc. Changing the youtube.luac file addresses that issue. Videolan updates all files with every new release, but being an open source media player it's much cheaper and easier to just release the am...

Things are not as serious as I thought. The last image re-enabled the troubleshooting wizards which in turn revealed that Windows was connecting to the TAP Windows adapter instead of the NIC. The TAP adapter in that respect is primarily used in a virtual environment. The network troubleshooter ident...
