Converting Stream To Audio Leads to Empty File

[DailyDriver]

Hi

(Forgive me if this has been covered, I didn't find a solution after searching here.)

Running VLC 3.0.11 on Windows 10 (Home x64 v2004 b19041.329)

1) "Media" tab
2) "Open Network Stream"
3) Enter youtube url
4) Below right, "Play" drop-down menu; select "Convert"
5) On next screen it's worth noting: "Source" field now displays the url with backslashes (https:\\youtu dot be\)
6) "Profile": "Audio - CD"
7) Wrench ("Edit Selected Profile")/"Audio codec" tab/check "Audio" and "Keep original audio track", Save
8} "Browse" folder location, name it then "Start"
9) Resulting file has 0 bytes. Multiple attempts with configuration tweaks here or there, same result.

Can anyone advise?

Yes, this does not work for Youtube streams.

Do you want to convert or just save the original stream without conversion? Select a proper encapsulation/container. You need a decoded link instead of the original youtube link (Tools > Media Information: Location).
