I'm a Brit living in Finland and use KZitem and other sites to download UK series that I can't view over here. I've spent weeks looking for an answer to this annoying problem and your tutorial has resolved the issue. Absolutely brilliant! If there were KZitem Tutorial medals you'd get a Gold! Thanks so much.

I found the issue ! Had to turn on logging to do so. VLC tries all the LUAC files to find one that can process the URL. I didn't delete the original LUAC file, I just renamed it. I didn't realize it was using a 'brute-force' approach to see what LUAC script would be able to process the URL. The log showed me that it found my renamed LUAC and it failed to extract the video file location. So I deleted the renamed LUAC and voila, it worked. And it didn't care where VLC was installed - I did test both the default 64-bit location and on another drive - same outcome. Thanks for this - a big time saver !

Thank you ever so much for this video. I once used VLC to download the occasional video from youtube and then switched to using the Torch browser to download videos. Then I could no longer download any youtube videos at all. Starting around the second or third week of December 2019, something changed somewhere (perhaps over on youtube?) preventing me (and everyone else?) from downloading youtube videos. Curiously, when I look at the tabs that my Firefox browser shows me, I now see either (22) or (24) appended to the named tab right in front of the tab name. In the past, I do not think I ever saw this (22) or (24) appended to the named tab. Anyway, to make a long story short, I followed your instructions, exactly, on a Windows 10 laptop pc, using the 32 bit version of VLC, and your solution worked for me. I was able to download a youtube video. Thanks again!

Thanks for the video! Though it didn't completely work for me I was able to find a solution. For me the notepad file I created from copying and pasting the code into it kept saving as a text document instead of a LUAC file even though I did as you showed and added the ".luac" extension to the file name. And whenever I would try to just edit the original KZitem.luac file within the folder, windows wouldn't allow me to save the changes to the file saying I needed permission from the file creator despite me being the system administrator. So my solution I came up with was to cut the original youtube.luac file from the folder and paste it to my desktop. Then while it was on my desktop and removed from the protected VLC folder I was able to delete the contents of the original file and paste the copied script from the webpage link onto the original file, then paste that same folder back into the VLC playlist folder. After that my problem was solved. Hope this helps someone else.

It is lighting fast and you do not have to sit through the video to record it. There is 20 video download for free limit. Sort of... ;P
