VLC stopped playing youtube!

For questions and discussion that is NOT (I repeat NOT) specific to a certain Operating System.

Yes, the new youtube.lua allows you to play simple yutubins (streams and the previous lua plays).
But-with this, lua stops automatically switching to the best quality video format!
Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n_xCI-peq0 - reproduces, but still remains in the 18 format (640x360).
Everything is fine with YouTube streams - it switches the formats automatically.

In general, everything remains the same - you can only work adequately through yt-dlp (+ffmpeg)!

ps: it turns out that the script is in the 3.0.19 and 3.0.20 builds, even newer in date than the script on the developers ' site..
I tested this one and the same problem occurs
lua error: Couldn't descramble YouTube throttling URL parameter: data transfer will get throttled

How do I solve this specific part?

Same as before, it's a cat and mouse game, just wait for an update of the LUA script.
