Cannot get this one youtube video to play

Good day,
I have used VLC, v3.0.20 Vetinari, to play multiple youtube videos. This one will not work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYoUaQGILNc
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.

Lua updates need to be on a schedule.
