SMPlayer 19.5 Broken?
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Q2NR)
Anybody here using SMPlayer? For a few weeks now I am unable to watch youtube videos. A fresh profile does not help.
I suspect the built-in youtube-dl code. I can use the most recent version of youtube-dl to fetch the video and then SMPlayer plays the downloaded video.
Not yet looking for alternatives. Just want to know if others can play youtube videos with SMPlayer. The SMPlayer logs have not helped me, but I might be missing something obvious.
Thanks. :)
