I started noticing issues with playing YouTube videos through VLC as soon as I upgraded to version 3.0.4-4. When trying to play multiple YouTube videos, one after the other, VLC throws in an error saying it's unable to open the link. This happens as follows: Open new VLC session -> Paste in a video URL -> Plays video -> The video ends -> Paste in another video URL -> Error -> Paste the same video URL, or another one -> Error -> Rinse & Repeat -> Error This however doesn't happen if I enqueue the video URLs, for example: Open new VLC session -> Paste in a video URL -> Pauses video playback after it starts -> Paste in a video URL (or multiple ones), and hit 'Enqueue' instead of Play -> Resumes playback -> Video ends -> Plays next video without errors Another thing that curiously doesn't trigger the error is if: Open new VLC session -> Paste in a video URL -> Plays video -> Stops the video before it finishes -> Hit play again, making VLC replay the same video Hopefully my explanation makes sense. Not sure if this is an issue only at my end, or a proper bug. Here's what's displayed in the error window: Here's the verbose log from the "Messages" window: https://hastebin.com/raw/edobizocov
