I discovered this feature not 30 minutes ago and i've been trying to make it work but it hasn't.
When i click play there is an error message: "Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBo8RaX6zus'. Check the log for details."
By checking Tool>Messages I see:
main error: TLS client plugin not available
main info: stopping playback
main error: cannot pre fill buffer
main error: TLS client plugin not available
main error: open of `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBo8RaX6zus' failed.
I use Windows 8.1 and VLC 2.1.5
