Hi,
In a public library, I tried to load a youtube video into vlc, Open Network Stream, (copy/paste url). The video will not open. All I get is an Error message, saying: 'Stream cannot load - see log'. I am not sure what it all means. Is there a fix you could give me, in step by step fashion, please?
Regards.
