Do the yt-dlp people know something that the VLC people don't?
If it works for them, why can't it work for VLC?

Just realized Vimeo and other video sites don't work either.

VLC's streaming ability is officially over guys. Try elsewhere.

So I guess it's done for VLC and streaming YouTube videos.

Okay guys, find something else.

Any update?

The issue is well-known : https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/27227

This is not the same as the issue discussed in this thread (which started about a month or so ago).

Are there any other safe media players that are currently still able to stream YouTube videos?

So does ANYONE have any idea what's going on?

So that's almost a year. Has VLC ever not updated the LUA for a year before?

And it still doesn't work.

No. You will need to manually update the LUA script as explained here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=483226#p483226 You can check for a new version of the LUA script here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commits/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua?ref_type=heads and there: h...

So will VLC update itself to correct this, or is this the end of YouTube streaming on VLC?

Is this the longest stretch of time that VLC has not update their LUA after YouTube streaming stopped working?

The solution is to update the LUA script when a new version will be available.

Right, and currently no fixed version is available. Hence my question if every VLC user has this issue.

Thanks.
Don't see any solutions there.

Is there anyone whose VLC is currently able to play YouTube videos?

Is it just me, or did VLC lose the ability to play YouTube videos, regardless of whether it's updated to the latest version?

You don't need to open the network tab, you can directly play an URL via the command line: VLC.exe "https://site.com/example.mp4" Thank you. But I am specifically looking for a command that opens the network tab, So I can make a shortcut icon out of it. Opening the command prompt each tim...

In the specific OS forum (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc).

Where does one ask a usage question that isn't troubleshooting?

Where does one ask a usage question that isn't troubleshooting? Like this one:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=158742

Is there a command line (and/or shortcut icon code) to get the Network tab in the "Open media" box? Normally one has to first open the app and then press Control+N.

Thank you.
Will see if it solves it.

...set it to default which is 1.0.

Just checked. It already was like that.

But since the tutorial speaks not about screen recording, what's the connection?

OK, then comparing what you're doing with the tutorial I linked to should provide the answer to your question.

I'm not sure what you mean since the tutorial has nothing to do with what I'm asking about.

See this tutorial illustrated with screenshots for the available options: https://www.vlchelp.com/controlling-pla ... ia-player/

The tutorial's about video playback. My question is about the actual file properties that the screen recording outputs.

And how do I make the video output not messed up?
