Ever since late 2018 – probably around September – VLC has been opening Youtube videos at a much lower resolution than the video in the Youtube webpage. Something that plays 1080p on the Youtube website now plays 640x360 on VLC.
I've used VLC to download Youtube videos for years, by selecting the codec and pasting it into the browser, but now this method brings me to tiny 640x360 videos as well. I've been keeping VLC up to date, and I have the most recent Youtube.luac.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
