VLC suddenly not playing youtube videos
by heathcliff36 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Q4SN)
I usually watch youtube videos from VLC media player. I simply copy the url of the youtube video, open VLC and paste the url on the address bar in Media a' Open Location from clipboard.
However, this doesn't work anymore.
I have uninstalled VLC and re-installed the latest VLC version (2.2.7) from the Debian repository.
I have also updated the youtube.lua script using the following command:
Code:curl "http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD" -o /usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/youtube.luaBut the problem is VLC is still unable to play any youtube videos and there isn't even an error message.
I didn't have any problems a few days ago and have recently upgraded Debian 8 with 'apt-get upgrade'.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
