Hi.
I'm often using VLC to watch YouTube videos but there's some kind of weird limitation.
I'm trying to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1CVM7O-BZo
There are two problems:
- Video shown above is available in 1080p but VLC opens it in 720p resolution. "Preferred video resolution" is set to "1080p".
- There are some weird playback glitches. Once for about 1-2 minutes, for a second most of the video space turns grey and sound stutters in that moment. After that it plays normally and after another minute or two it's happening again.
PC specs: Windows 8.1 Pro x64, Core i5-3350P, Radeon HD7770, 4GB RAM, VLC media player 2.1.3 Rincewind
WAN specs: ADSL, 10 Mbit/s download (1080p loads smoothly on YouTube)
Can I make it work properly?
YouTube quality not going higher than 720p, video glitches

The latest Youtube changes make 1080p difficult to reach for VLC, as it's a different protocol.

Thanks for the answer, jb. Same problem here. Was wondering what was going on. -_-
Any possible fix for the future?

Not so sure.
