@@PooDotStinkPants No need to be sorry, I am always willing to help when I can. The answer is no, you should not have to do this on a regular basis. YT does Not block VLC. This is a VLC issue only, however; this file that I have posted should work for good, if not I will find another solution and post. The only time this might stop working is if you do an update to VLC or start fresh and uninstall and reinstall. Other than that you shoudl be good to go.

Im guessing you want to download the youtube video as an mp4 (video file). If this the case, look at the top and press tools, codec information, copy the location at the bottom of the white pop up box. Paste into a new google tap, press the 3 dots, and then download, and you should be all good.

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 KZitem video via URL, it encounters an error with descrambling KZitem's throttling URL parameter, which prevents the video from playing correctly. This is likely due to changes in KZitem'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 KZitem’s end, not sure yet.

@SamHayden
Жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for the comment. Ok what you are describing is sure a weird one and I have never seen this issue. There should be about 5 folders, LUA should be one of them and then there should be about 15 various files. If it were me, the first thing I would try is using revo uninstaller to fully remove VLC. Using Revo will remove all files that are present in the file structure and it will move all registry entries for VLC. I HIGHLY suggest using advanced mode in Revo and make sure you select all references and delete them during the revo uninstall. I have another video that goes over Revo Uninstaller. i suggest going to that video and closely watching the uninstall process as it will be important in removing all references to the software. In that video, the uninstall process starts at about 3:40 ------ That video is here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/kX-FuouLf4irgZg So uninstall using revo with the steps in the video above, after revo uninstall is done, RESTART your computer, That is very important after running the revo uninstall. After that, go in, download the newest VLC installer and try again. If that does not work you may have to reach out to VLC for assistance, because that folder should be there. For your convenience, the newest installer for Revo and VLC are found here: REVO: www.revouninstaller.com/start-freeware-download/ VLC: get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.18/win32/vlc-3.0.18-win32.exe Hope this all helps you!

In the first section in that menu called “Track Settings” look at the last entry, called “Preferred video resolution” here is where you can choose the Preferred video resolution.
