VLC - Unable to open a Youtube network stream

Postby jeablu » 19 Sep 2024 17:14

Hi,
I am on a PC with Windows 11 64bits. I installed VLC Multimedia 3.0.21.

Problem: unable to open a Youtube network stream, I have an error message:
"unable to open URL« https://rr3---sn-4g5lznek...".

But before with Windows 10 64bits, I opened the YouTube network stream without problem to record a video.
the Youtube.luac file is the one installed with the latest version of VLC.

Thank you for your help.

YouTube is not supported with Lua as of last site updates. It might work with YT-DLP. See also other recent threads.

Thanks for your reply. If I understand correctly the VLC command "Open Network Stream" is no longer usable.
I am new to the forum, I will search for discussions on this topic.

Open Network streams still works as before, to open actual network streams. What does not work is opening web pages.
