Hi
I have the latest available 64 Bit version of VLC on a Windows 10 PC/ 16GB RAM, all Windows Updates installed. The problem is it will not play any Youtube videos. If you insert a link, it tries to load, apparently fails and does nothing.
What's wrong?

Hello #thweiss Thank you very much for the clarification, especially with additional information at those links. I think the best thing for now is to revert to Version 3.0.7.1 until further notice, until a new version comes out, hopefully with the issue resolved. Ich spreche übrigens, mehr als ein p...

I certainly support such a mode, or at least inbuilt alternative skins from VLC. I have tried many different skins, but the problem is I have not found any that allows using all the features available in the default VLC skin. You find some for example you can only change size not from any player sid...

Hi there Thanks for your responses. Do you happen to live in Germany if I may ask? If so, you might know MediathekView from [url]https://mediathekview.de/download/[/url], a program that helps to access up to 30 livestreams from German public broadcasters + lots of their online archives. All streams ...

Hi there I have a direct link to a German public TV broadcaster and have always recorded some sports program in the past with currently VLC media player v3.0.8 64 Bit with no problem.

May be it's a co-incidence , but since the last time it happened, the day of the last post, I decided to give the VLC a break and only used the Media Player Classic for exactly the same tasks and I have not had this random freezing. Before that, it had got frozen on 2 days in a row and a couple of ...

Correction Sorry, the AMD Radeon HD 7640G driver version number is 15.200.1062.1004 with driver date given as 03.08.2015 As said, iObit Driver Booster in the last year or so recommends what it considers a more recent driver but it has, including of late if updated consistently leads to the notebook...

Hi Thank you for the response. Actually just before posting this, the problem struck again, though this time, although the VLC was on in the background, I think it was not streaming anything. Instead, i had another program Online TV 15 (from onlinetv15.de) streaming German TV news + some other tasks...

Hi there A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded Windows 10 Pro to the latest 1903 build. I do not remember, but there might have been a VLC update to the 64 Bit version I was using around the same time. I'm sure, though, soon after one of the 2, while watching video ... and that's streaming video ... I n...

Hi

Thank you both for confirming the problem and for explaining the possible cause.

Best regards

Hi there I was pleased to learn the VLC player can, just by using a Youtube link play videos from that source. I discovered the other day, though, that it could somehow not play the live feed from Sky UK live at [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrX6ktLg8WQ[/url] when I tried to watch Sky News co...
