rename this? into youtube.lua??Wrong filename. Should be "youtube.lua" (without quotes) and not "149909-playlist_youtube.lua"
lua warning: error running script C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist\149909-playlist_youtube.lua

thank u for the link, but it remains as like one of the seven seals...
Any idea, what it could be, that after new installation, it works proper for a while?
Sorry, i'm not an expert in code & sw-conception, i'm a user only...
The videolan site to file bugs to has changed and has moved to code.videolan.org. It's now become necessary to register there which requires 2FA. After creating username and p/w users are presented with a QR code. The problem here is that my phone doesn't support that so I can't complete the registration. Why make things easy when you can make them difficult!
isnt it possible, to tell them, when there Galaxy drift away?Why make things easy when you can make them difficult!

I had the same problem, and was able to authenticate by installing the "desktop" Authy application (https://authy.com/download/) on a computer. You can then use the alphanumeric "code" from code.videolan.org instead of the QR code, but you have to create an account with Authy and it's quite cumbersome.
If you want to avoid the two-step authentification, you can create an account with GitLab.com (https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up) and use that account to log in to code.videolan.org. I ended up deleting my code.videolan.org account and using a GitLab.com account instead. Getting that done was even more cumbersome. I think it might have asked for a two-step authentification initially, but since then (which was yesterday) I have been able to log on to code.videolan.org without one.
Good luck!
A new youtube.luac file has just been released which resolves the youtube consent issue.
Copy the code from here:Code: Select all
https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua#L1
To create a new youtube.luac file follow my instructions here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 26#p483226
The post dates from December 2018, but the link has been updated automatically to the current file which comprises of 633 lines of code.
I know, that this is a workaround, but it works: I successfully used oathtool in Linux to create a 6 digit PIN from the long code on the 2FA setup page. The whole article about it is here:I had the same problem, and was able to authenticate by installing the "desktop" Authy application (https://authy.com/download/) on a computer.

At the end, all you need is a command like oathtool -b --totp 'N3V3R G0nn4 G1v3 Y0u Up' and it generates your PIN. The only problem - it works just for the current session. So after logoff, on the next logon, one have to repeat the PIN generation. But on the bright side: one don't have to install some extra software on the phone or somewhere else.
On Windows, WinAuth should do the trick.
Afterwards, I found this solution on the wiki.The very concept of "two-factor" authentication is to use a just-generated code or PIN every time you log on to make it harder for hackers to get access to your account. If you can't or won't install some software on your phone to do it, oathtool or WinAuth should enable you to do so using a computer. Thanks for the tips!

You don't need a smartphone for 2FA in the first place. There are also "desktop" applications available.
This is mostly not the videolan fault. The whole help of the code is just provided by Gitlab. So they need to contact the Gitlab guys, so they would address this and extend the list with some desktop programs.Yes, that is exactly what we have been discussing. The message on https://code.videolan.org informing the would-be contributor that 2FA is required lists mostly smartphone-only "apps", only hinting at the existence of "desktop" programs which one must go hunting for. Hence, the desire to provide solutions in order to facilitate the hunt.

sorry, but this problem occurs since today morning anew: suddenly VLC doesnt play any Youtube-videos anymore:
first couple times it came some report, that vlc could not open the url, then somewhat later, one see only a not-reacting vlc (only something like a short light up on the time line) VLC is 3.0.16
the old trick with "youtube.luac" does not help anymore!!!
DOEs something changed?
thanks in advance!
