Can you stream netflix thru the vlc player?

i don't know about netflix but the Youtube has become unavailable. it used to be possible to watch a live stream broadcasted in the Youtube through the VLC player, but it has become impossible. i have the impression that this happened already in the spring. apparently they made some change in the Youtube's systems.

is the Videolan team aware of this development to the worse and will they try to restore this feature to the VLC, i.e. will it be again possible to watch live streams with the VLC?

YouTube videos are of two kinds. Ones that you are allowed to download. The other ones not allowed download. Those you are allowed to download, you can use VLC to play over the stream. Download protected are not allowed on VLC since you will be able to copy illegally using VLC record! Most good sound quality music videos are normally download protected.
