The latest version .VLC version ?
If you look at the source for any youtube page, they escape the backslashes also. I don't know if they always did, but currently they do, so out of hand I don't know if that's the main problem.I have exactly the same problem. The main thing that looks different to me at first glance is that the slash characters in the source URL in media information are being escaped by backslashes. i.e. "http://www....." becomes "http:\/\/www..." and that would be enough to throw off the URL (so the file cannot be found). Why this happens is a mystery to me. At least I don't remember seeing those backslashes before.
That's the most likely scenario. The only think we can hope for is vlc to change the way it parses and reads URLS from youtube pages, to fix it again.
Maybe youtube changed something ?

yeah iv got the latest and still cant watch youtube videos alsoUpdate solves some issues, I presume, but Youtube issue is not one of them (at least not on mac).
who do you think your posting to ? why so arrogant ? wtf is your problem ?For people with vision problems, I will state it a second time in larger letters:
You need to update to VLC 1.1.1-15-gebd7e0c or later.
Obviously, if you have VLC 1.1.1, it is not going to work.
I haven't found it yet either, however, I think you two guys who are being so rude should take that elsewhere.
You probably would've gotten a lot more help if you had nicely asked for a link.
Forum rules
Be polite when posting, and please refrain from using insults or other abusive language.
Don't use ALL CAPITALS EVERYWHERE or very big text or a lot of color in your posting. This is considered to be highly annoying and will most likely result in no one answering you.

No. My response was to point that out. Then when another two people completely ignored the response (not even bothering to ask clarifications, you know), I wrote the same thing again in larger fonts. And, for those who don't understand version numbers, I even added that, well it is more recent than 1.1.1.What help?
His only reply was to yell that we need to upgrade to some unreleased/non-public version.

You can add fmt switchers to the URL:hi, can someone change the youtube.lua code to force VLC to play higher quality videos 480p? thanks
