The issue still remains for playing YT links the error shows the location cannot be played. KM player usable to do the same properly. Why can't VLC ...even the latest beta have errors in all devices. VLC have some features which KM player don't but the most importan YT playing isngsupported

Update:

The latest VLC (inc beta) is showing error in playing YT videos " location cannot be played" the old vlc version 3.4.4 dated march 6 2022 was successful in playing the same (tested). Hope this helps!

YouTube just made it more difficult to play their videos. Any VLC version is now affected. We are working on fixing it.

Spend Christmas reloading a radio flow each 5 minutes as I was mention flow was not found.
1 works perfect while using the phone itself, but hump all the time while casting via Google chrome cast built in- is that normal?
