VLC refuses to play youtube videos on new arch installation, giving the error:
"Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgzjflJrp0o'. Check the log for details."
The detailed version is: "VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332)"
The error occurs in 99% percent of the attempts made. It might occur once in a while that a youtube video will actually play correctly.
Note that the same version plays youtube videos normally every single time on a Manjaro 18 installation.
Any help/ideas would be really appreciated.
The debug log file follows:
