Re: Is it just me, or VLC can't play YouTube anymore?

Do the yt-dlp people know something that the VLC people don't?

Re: Trying to install VLC for Android 3.5.4 on a Firestick

I have a 4K Max and I gave up trying to get a side loaded VLC working. Sorry, I can't recall what the difficulty was now but I believe the Fire TV is designed for it not to work. Amazon has their own version of VLC and I am guessing it is crippled somewhat because it competes with their streaming se...

It looks like great software to tailor exactly what you wa...

Re: Is it just me, or VLC can't play YouTube anymore?

I found a workaround solution with a Firefox add-on until this gets fixed by VLC. I only installed it today and the free version works in a miserable 360p resolution. But it works.
