Problem with expanded URL of YT videos in playlist
Posted: 26 Feb 2020 10:30
Hello,
Before i open feature request i would like to discuss this problem
I am using VLC many years but this PROBLEM is irritating me last month too much.
I will describe a scenario.
I am using VLC for watching YT videos (I will prepare 60-90min playlist and wathing on TV)
Sometimes i need save playlist and watch it later or I would like to share with friends
or store it becouse there are nice videos and I will watch it after some time.
Adding to playlist is easy and working fine...
I will add for example URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpq-Cb-UesM
Video link is added with valid URL in format youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
After clicking or watching video is URL in playlist expanded to UNIQUE URL
which contain expiration token and IP and THIS IS WRONG!!!!! BAAAAD
becouse links are not valid after (expiration time limit hour or 2hours)
and recreating playlist with 20-40videos is extremny annoying....
KEEP URL in youtube.com/watch?v=ID format and expanded link will use
player when is starting playback or add URI field and store DIRECT_LINK there
and keep "URL field" not touched! or not modify playlist and expand it with LUA/youtube.lua script always before playback without modifiend URL
update only NAME description of video ("How to Turn Your Planer Into a Jointer")
PS: If i sleep and morning want to watch playlist from the middle i get errors
becouse URL are expanded (playlist was fully played during sleep)
and it's not possible start videos from playlist again (2nd time)
(becouse modified URL which are expired)!
PS: no option use shortcut for add URL (link Control-N) and past url we must use mouse and Submenu advanced open also anoying when user is more proefecient with keyboard.
