Cannot get this one youtube video to play

[skovian]

Good day,

I have used VLC, v3.0.20 Vetinari, to play multiple youtube videos. This one will not work:

I downloaded the latest youtube.lua file as of 6 January, but it did not help.

As with the other videos I have watched, I copy and paste the address from Chrome to the network stream box then hit play.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Either a new LUA script is needed:

Code: Select all

lua debug: Detected new YouTube HTML code layout ... http debug: in DATA (0x00) frame of 3489 bytes, flags 0x00, stream 1 http debug: in DATA (0x00) frame of 12887 bytes, flags 0x00, stream 1 http debug: out (priority) WINDOW_UPDATE (0x08) frame of 4 bytes, flags 0x00, global http debug: in DATA (0x00) frame of 16384 bytes, flags 0x00, stream 1 http debug: in DATA (0x00) frame of 16368 bytes, flags 0x00, stream 1 ... lua error: Couldn't extract youtube video URL, please check for updates to this script

Or the video is blocked in your country.
Can you play it with an internet browser ?

I get the same error that it could not extract the video url.

I can play the movie in Chrome (Windows) and Safari (macOS). But not the VLC Viewer.

Do they come out with updates to the Lua script frequently? I downloaded the latest one from 6 Jan but it still does not work.
