Thank you Lotesdelere.
That is a lot of material to go through. Can you be more specific. Is there a single post that can tell me what is happening and how to fix it?

Try to update the LUA script:

Or use the YT-DLP batch file as a workaround:

Where of course, you have to replace youtube-dl.exe with yt-dlp.exe and to set the correct path to VLC.exe.
