Is this safe to do?? No virus or anything??
@@Shadow_2055 Are you talking about the file you download in the video or are you referring to the tool I have in this pinned comment. I mean either way no there are no viruses and it is completely safe, just didn't know what you were referring to
@@SamHayden I meant for both. I just want to be safe from my laptop from getting some kind of virus, or getting in trouble by the law or something for downloading a copyright YT Video. I hope that makes sense.
@@Shadow_2055 I see what you mean, I assure you that there are no viruses, in my video you can see has 35 K views and hundreds of users applying the fix with no issues. The file itself comes right from the VLC website. Also with this fix applied it is just fixing something that is broken in VLC, this is VLC's fix for it. This feature in VLC just allows you to stream a youtube video through VLC, that is it. Any other options and ways of downloading a video I, or this channel, do not support. This ONLY shows you how to stream the video to VLC, nothing further - I hope this helps!
@@SamHayden thank you I appreciate your help and response!! ❤️
This worked flawlessly, thank you so much! You cut to the chase, but still explained it in a way that even a beginner could understand. This deserves more recognition!
Well thank you so much for the kind words, I am so glad that it was helpful to you!!
Yes. Very concise. He did a great job.
I recently updated my vlc player. It stopped streaming RUclips video. Found this video and tried your solution. I am surprised that it still works in 2024. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Hey good to know thank you for letting me know! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for watching, I hope this helps you out! Please like and subscribe, thanks!
Ok app
L
good 👍
I tried a number of different ways including replacing the youtube.luac file to make VLC Media Player play RUclips videos before reinstalling the program for that to also not work. Then I found your video, followed it and I'm not sure how, but it's working now.
Hey that is awesome, I am so glad it worked for you! Thank you for watching and commenting
Great video, has worked for me in the past. Currently not fixing my VLC streaming youtube. Wondering if there's an update or new protocol going around? Thanks
Hey thank you!! So an update, I have been looking into this because too many were commenting that it was not working and some report the error, “"VLC is unable to open the MRL" url stream. Upon looking into this, I pulled logs from VLC and upon digging into them, it seems that the error indicates that while attempting to play a RUclips video via URL, it encounters an error with descrambling RUclips's throttling URL parameter, which prevents the video from playing correctly. This is likely due to changes in RUclips's video delivery mechanisms that the current version of VLC cannot handle.
I am still looking into this and hope to have an answer soon. It may be an issue on RUclips’s end, not sure yet.
Another Update: So, upon hours of research into this, it appears as though this is happening because RUclips may have changed something on their end and the VLC side has not accommodated for this change as of yet. I have a video explaining this in more detail. That video will be released tomorrow at 8AM central time here on my channel. If you have the notifications on for my channel, you should ne notified when it gets published.
Hello again, so another update. For the time being, while we are all waiting on a brainiac to create a new LUA file to make this work again, I have found an alternative that allows you to stream URL’s just like VLC used to. I have made a video on this, and that video will launch this coming Monday, in the morning time. If you are subscribed to me, ensure that notifications are clicked on so you don’t miss it. Thank you!!
@@SamHayden Awesome, Thank you for keeping me apprisied.
@user-es4tz5xo3w very welcome
Thank you so much!! I was stuck for past month to make it work, but none helped, reinstalled vlc, still nothing, glad I found this video! it saved my exam prep!
Awesome, so glad it helped you! Thank you for the comment
Awesome - I think this is a safe and easy method to download RUclips videos, and couldn't understand why it quit working!
Thank you and yeah not sure why it quits working. But the fix has always worked and brought it back to working, thanks for watching
INSTANTLY worked!!
this is amazing, thanks man!
Awesome! So glad it worked for you! Thank you for commenting and watching!
I tried it, and it is still not working. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

DOOOD thanks a million!! I found something about this "LUA" file stuff on a github link but I just couldn't follow how or what to do, you made this way, WAY, too easy. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment, I am so glad it worked for you and that it was easy to follow. Great feedback, thank you!
youtube overlords wont let me leave their site with that link.
Lol yeah that happens sometimes. Right click it maybe, select copy link, open another tab and paste it in address bar?
Thank you so much, This worked like magic! idk why vlc had a luac file instead of lua... but you saved my day from getting wasted in the frustration of figuring out how else to fix it! 🤗🤗🤩🤩
Great thanks for the comment
still works as of october 2023, This man is a legend among legends

Hi Sam. Thanks for the great explanation. I followed your instructions step-by-step, but I'm still getting the error message that my input can't be opened. As your video is about a year old, did YT catch on to this, and is blocking this work around somehow?
Hi there, thanks for the comment, there is a note in description of this video explaining that due to a change in RUclips, this fix will not work. in addition, I have a video that provides an alternative, hope this helps!

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. Downloaded the lua file as shown in the tutorial/video. Then replaced it down in c;/programfiles/..... Reopened VLC, pasted the url. pushed play button, the slider rushed quickly to the end. Video did not play.
Hi thanks for commenting, yes this will not work right now, there is a note in the description explaining that this fix will not work right now. I have another video explaining why.

Sure thing, I got you! Thank you for commenting and watching the video!
We'll be waiting on the new fix you've been digging out on
Appreciatw that thank you, I am trying, but looking like an issue on the RUclips side, we may need to wait till VLC comes up with a new LUA file for it. We shall see!
Another Update: So, upon hours of research into this, it appears as though this is happening because RUclips may have changed something on their end and the VLC side has not accommodated for this change as of yet.

I am trying to play a RUclips short on the VCL player, but this doesnt work for me. Do you know if I can fix it?
Hey, there shouldnt be a different with a short vs a regular YouTuble video. If it did not work for you. I have outlined in another video what to do if this doesnt work. Quick rundown though, I recommend using revo uninstaller to uninstall VLC and reinstall. This video will explain it, I think its around the 4 minute mark, although there are chapters and it is marked. ruclips.net/video/0EOXsaDgXb4/видео.html
If that doesnt work, one of my subscribers told me recently that a Windows reboot fixed his after the fix didnt work. May try that.
Thank you very much, thank you for the informative video. Initially I thought there was a problem with the program or with the PC.
You are very welcome, I am glad that it was helpful for you! If you are a new subscriber, thank you! Have a great day!
Worked like you said, Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome, I am so glad that it helped!
Great video, this worked like a charm. Do you happen to know why VLC had this issue in the first place?
Hey glad it worked for you, and I wish I did know why VLC has this issue, especially since they continue to offer the fix file on their site. So unfortunately no I do not know why they have this issue sorry. I do appreciate you commenting!
IT WORKED THANK YOU SO !!!!! i just subscribed and gave the video a like!!!
Wow thanks for the sub, so grateful, thank you and I am glad that it helped you out
Works Brilliantly as a fix!
a couple questions for you though.
1> what is a LUA / LUAC file?
2> can VLC download videos from a network stream like this?
thank you!
Hello, thank you for the comment and watching. So, a LUA / LUAC file is a file that is used by VLC to add additional features to the software. Kind of like a configuration or settings file. And yes, VLC is capable of downloading videos from a network stream. I used to have a video up like that but it was taken down for some reason. But if you do a search, I have seen others on RUclips. Thanks again for watching
@@SamHayden thanks!
@@32KZ Yeah no problem at all
Your a goat thank you, had this vlc issue for a long time!
Nice, I never been a goat before thank you lol....Glad it helped you out
Hi Thanks. It didn't work. I downloaded the newest VLC Player, VLC 3.0.18 and I replaced the lua file i downloaded directly from the site yesterday, but it is just doing nothing. I don't even know when it broke as I haven't used it in weeks so i have no idea what the problem is or why the simple fixes won't work.
Edit to Add: I downloaded and deleted it 3 times. I loaded programe directly from the exe file and finallyit worked. Thanks for the direct link to the lua. there seems to be an issue with wether it is named lua or luac.
Hey sorry it did not work for you. I have outlined in another video what to do if this doesnt work. Quick rundown though, I recommend using revo uninstaller to uninstall VLC and reinstall. This video will explain it, I think its around the 4 minute mark, although there are chapters and it is marked. ruclips.net/video/0EOXsaDgXb4/видео.html
Thanks bro, It had stopped playing the videos with the update but now its good
You are very welcome, I am glad it worked for you, if you are a new subscriber thank you!
Unfortunately didn't work for me. Followed the steps, but VLC still gives me an error message saying, "Your input can't be opened:" followed by a super-long URL. Not sure if this video is too old for the most recent updates of YT or VLC, but I need a new fix (or a new way to download from RUclips)... >_>
Hi thanks for commenting. This fix is not to fix the error you are getting, nor is it a fix to allow you to download from RUclips. This fix is to only fix VLC not streaming a video from a URL. There is never an error associated with this issue. It simply just will not play the video form URL. In addition, this fix is still relevant, I did it the other day for someone and it worked fine, plus I have commenters on this video recently cmmenting that it worked.
The error you are seeing is usually caused by different things such as VLC Player is not updated, VLC Preferences have changed or a firewall or antivirus software is blocking the video source.
I would suggest ensuring that your VLC is up to date and maybe reset your VLC preferences.
Thanks again for watching and commenting
Update: Hello there, so an update, I have been looking into this today because too many were commenting that it was not working and some report the error, “"VLC is unable to open the MRL" url stream. Upon looking into this, I pulled logs from VLS and upon digging into them, it seems that the error indicates that while attempting to play a RUclips video via URL, it encounters an error with descrambling RUclips's throttling URL parameter, which prevents the video from playing correctly. This is likely due to changes in RUclips's video delivery mechanisms that the current version of VLC cannot handle.

Bro is a life saver fr
Hey well thank you, I am so glad I was able to help you out!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
it still doesn't seem to work right. it still wants to sit and buffer like every 2 seconds at a time
Thanks for commenting. If the video is coming up but buffering, this fix will not fix that. This video is for if VLC dont even read the RUclips video form the URL you put in. If your comes up but bufferes that has nothing to do with this issue. That is a whole separate issue. I have another video that has to do with VLC lagging and skipping. That video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/JJi54386DPc/видео.html
Hope this helps!
Thank you! That was awsome!
You are welcome, so glad it helped you! Thanks for watching!
Many, many Thanks!!!! Best video on YT today!
WOW that is quite the compliment, thank you so so much! I am glad that I was able to help, have a great night!!
This file worked before, however it's not working today. Maybe the fine people at youtube made some adjustment, causing errors on the VLC when trying to playback vids on youtube. I tried almost everything on the internet. I'm not giving up yet.

This video will explain it, I think its around the 4 minute mark, although there are chapters and it is marked. ruclips.net/video/0EOXsaDgXb4/видео.html
If that doesnt work, one of my subscribers told me recently that a Windows reboot fixed his after the fix didnt work. May try that.
This made me feel like a hacker, thanks!
Haha awesome, you are welcome, thanks for the comment
For me videos play but they buffer a lot
I checked internet usage in task manager and it only uses 0,5Mb/s
I followed the tutorial but it's still buffering
Hi thanks for commenting, You may get something out of this video I made, specific to VLC and buffer issues. Hope it helps!

@@SamHayden thanks for a quick reply ☺️
But sadly it didn't fix the issue 😔
@@kamyk3923 Sorry to hear that, about the only other thing I can suggest is use revo uninstaller to uninstall VLC and then reinstall it. Aside form that I am not sure why its doing that
@@SamHayden yeah I did that and it didn't do anything
I also tried vlc android on phone
And it's limited to 50kb/s too
So I guess it's RUclips's fault or something with vlc overall
Fantastic, worked first time. Thank you. Will this also work for a YT live stream?
Welcome, and yeah it should
it still dint fix the vlc...

Update: Hello there, so an update, I have been looking into this today because too many were commenting that it was not working and some report the error, “"VLC is unable to open the MRL" url stream. Upon looking into this, I pulled logs from VLS and upon digging into them, it seems that the error indicates that while attempting to play a RUclips video via URL, it encounters an error with descrambling RUclips's throttling URL parameter, which prevents the video from playing correctly. This is likely due to changes in RUclips's video delivery mechanisms that the current version of VLC cannot handle.
I am still looking into this and hope to have an answer soon. It may be an issue on RUclips’s end, not sure yet.
Another Update: So, upon hours of research into this, it appears as though this is happening because RUclips may have changed something on their end and the VLC side has not accommodated for this change as of yet. I have a video explaining this in more detail. That video will be released tomorrow at 8AM central time here on my channel. If you have the notifications on for my channel, you should ne notified when it gets published.
Hello again, so another update. For the time being, while we are all waiting on a brainiac to create a new LUA file to make this work again, I have found an alternative that allows you to stream URL’s just like VLC used to. I have made a video on this, and that video will launch this coming Monday, in the morning time. If you are subscribed to me, ensure that notifications are clicked on so you don’t miss it. Thank you!!
Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Hey awesome, so glad it worked out!! Thank you for watching and commenting
