Youtube "Your input cannot be opened" error

Postby thetao » 26 Sep 2018 01:29

It feels odd being the first person to report this, but I tried streaming a YouTube video in VLC just now and received the above error. The is https://r3---sn-vgqsrn7s.googlevideo.com and I can ping the host, so that's not the issue. VLC will also briefly display the first frame. I'm using 3.0.4, so don't think there's anything to be upgraded. Did something break or is this an FAQ? Thanks.

A few people are having this issue.

Not an 18+ video as far as I can tell.
