When I try to play videos from Youtube and other video services like
https://ustvgo.tv/science/ do not work. I am using vlc 3.0.17.4.

YouTube is no longer supported as noted in other threads. I don't think USTVGO was ever supported. Patches are welcome.
It might work if you install YT-DLP and the external VLC plugin for YT-DLP. At least for YouTube.

It is a valid https site in should work. Why is VLC unable to resolve a https site?

A website is not a video, VLC needs a way to parse the website to figure out where the actual video is available, this often means specific code a every streaming platforms, so unless someone is willing to code this for VLC or if that's supported by third party like YT-DLP this you're out of luck

For people googling a temporary workaround:
I was able to open streams by combining yt-dlp and vlc.
Step 1: Open two terminals. Download the stream to a file with yt-dlp:
yt-dlp -o tempfile youtube-url-link
Step2: While it is downloading open the temp file with vlc:
vlc tempfile.part
