The VideoLAN Forums

Some YouTube videos aren't working to stream through VLC. I've normally been using VLC to stream and download YouTube videos for this tv series, but a few episodes will not work (most don't have a problem). When I initially set up to stream the YouTube video, the YouTube thumbnail for the video initially loads in VLC, for a couple seconds and then it disappears and the video won't load. Other online YouTube video downloaders also can't download these videos. Not sure how to fix it. I updated my VLC player last night as well to make sure I have the latest version. Any thoughts?

Here's the link of the video I can't get to work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT6V-pfUCNE

"Seriously? That's all it was?!!"

@mederi: Your solution worked. So strange that that's what the hangup is. Thank you so much for the solution. Worked like a charm.

That weird..
I am wondering why and how the mechanic running background that causing this issue & could be fixed in such a strange way?

Is there anything related to codec? I've heard the AV1 codec sometimes processing the similar problem, too
