Did you finally get it? I have the same problem :(

Thanks!

There has been work made on the youtube lua script recently, but I don't know if this is related. did you try the latest nightly build?

[jeremyVignelles]

Please also confirm that your issue don't show up with vlc.exe

[ebalmol]

With vlc.exe it works fine.
I have tested it with Vlc.DotNet 2.2.1, I'll try it with 2.2.2.

Thanks,

[jeremyVignelles]

Please also try with vlc-3.0.0 nightly from nightlies.videolan.org

[ebalmol]

With vlc-3.0.0 nightly from nightlies.videolan.org it works (x86 and x64 are ok).

Hi again,

I've been working on this and It's possible that playing youtube videos is only supported under playlist feature (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11436864/vlc-python-doesnt-play-youtube-video).

If you look for youtube lua it is under Playlist folder.

I have been looking for playing Playlist with vlcdotnet and I think it is still not possible, isn't it? Does anyone know if it will be developed in the near future?

Thanks,

[jeremyVignelles]

@ebalmol : Thanks for your finding. Indeed, playlists are not (yet?) supported by Vlc.DotNet. This is tracked by #193 . It is not currently planned to add playlist support in Vlc.DotNet, but I welcome contributions :) If you want to contribute and need help to implement it, feel free to join the gitter discussion.

Can it be a solution?

[jeremyVignelles]

It might be a solution. I did not test and do not guarantee that this will work.

I think that youtube streaming URL is purposefully opaque so that you use their player or their website. This means that whatever the way you try to reach it, it is a hack and you're not sure it will still work in the future...

I can play youtube videos using YouTubeExplode

private async void PlayYouTubeVideoAsync()
        {
            var url = "https://youtu.be/PbGDH_JOM9w";
            var youtubeVidId = YoutubeClient.ParseVideoId(url);
            var yt = new YoutubeClient();
            var video = await yt.GetVideoMediaStreamInfosAsync(youtubeVidId);
            var muxed = video.Muxed.WithHighestVideoQuality();

            vlcControl.SetMedia(new Uri(muxed.Url));
            vlcControl.Play();
        }

[jeremyVignelles]

This looks nice, thanks for sharing your findings @MachDemon ;-)

Since there's no answer from the original poster, I'm going to close that, because several options have been provided.

var url = "https://youtu.be/PbGDH_JOM9w";
var youtubeVidId = YoutubeClient.ParseVideoId(url);
var yt = new YoutubeClient();
var video = await yt.GetVideoMediaStreamInfosAsync(youtubeVidId);
var muxed = video.Muxed.WithHighestVideoQuality();

        vlcControl.SetMedia(new Uri(muxed.Url));
        vlcControl.Play();

Thank you very much.
