Why can't I play Youtube videos on VLC?

Postby heehoo » 02 Aug 2011 21:03

Every time I try, it crashes, and I hear of a patch that was created to fix this, but I have no clue how to fix it. None.

Can anyone please help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Tyhanks, but even if I find what to do, I still wouldn't know what to do as I am new to VLC. But thanks anyways.

Download the new youtube.lua file and replace the old one in your VLC install directory.
