Specific videos not playing, even *after* updating the youtube.luac file

[UmberPhyris]

The video in question, non-embedded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-f7K5L75sU
The problem: It *refuses* to play, even though I other videos in a playlist would play.
Where the youtube.luac was retrieved, labeled 2 months old: https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua (extension renamed from ".lua" to ".luac".)

May I ask if there is *anything* I am missing? Do I simply *not* rename it to ".luac", leaving it as".lua"? Is this file, once *again* in need of an update, whether because of the file's age itself or, yet again, YouTube?

Edit 1: The message I receive:

Check the log for details.

Edit 2: What the log file says:
-- logger module started --

...and this was after trying to play the video that fails to play 2x, when the next video in line played after, just fine.

Try to set Standard definition in VLC preferences:
Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Input/Codecs: Preferred video resolution [Standard definition (576 or 480 lines)]
Save settings, restart VLC, then try again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-f7K5L75sU

*does this*
.......ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? The answer to my problems was setting the resolution to *standard*!?!?
...Thank you. Thank you so much. I mean, I honestly would *never* have thought of this.
...and while I am overall bewildered by the idea of needing to edit the preferred resolution to 576/480 lines, I thank you for helping me solve part of a problem I otherwise never would have.

Again, thank you. The problem you have helped solve part of was a *huge* one, by far.

I can play both Youtube-Links
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-f7K5L75sU
- https://youtu.be/2Q477I2tqmU
in the VLC-Player 3.0.7.1 (64-Bit) under Windows 10 with a manuell updated Youtube.luac-File.

Github "Youtube.luac" Content.
- http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD

Look at the following Link for the Workaround to replace the Youtube.luac-File.

Good Success.

Make sure to save as "Youtube.luac". Not "Youtube.lua". Delete existing one.

Hello,

I've attempted the previous fixes and am still having an issue. This thread appears to be a little dated, so I thought maybe there was a different solution since the last response. To clarify, I've done both; adjusted resolution and downloaded an updated luac. However, I still have issues playing some videos. I managed to play two different ones this morning, but a third wouldn't play and I received this error message:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://r3---sn-p5qlsnrr.googlevideo.co ... ARw8JQ0qAO'. Check the log for details.


Appreciate any help. Thank you.

If it's a music video it probably won't play at the moment. A workaround is to install youtube-dl and then download it to your own machine.

If it's not a music video we need the original link on youtube to be able to check it
