Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: normal
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:
> /watch?v=PBFPJ3_6ZWs'. Check the log for details.
