I tried the same route, but got the logs correctly. It gave me a HTTP 410 error. I wouldn't be surprised at all if VLC's youtube plugin is just too old and there's a better one somewhere else. But in the meanwhile, mpv's plugin works (if you're using yt-dlp and not youtube-dl, that is)
- oblio 2y agoLogs not being directly visible in the VLC UI and not having a default log file location plus the fact that even going to advanced settings and configuring things doesn't make logs show up after the first try is not Google's fault, though.
- allarm 2y agoIt's hardly a fault though. And if you need this feature go ahead and implement it.
- oblio 2y agoThe first part is a feature, the second one is a bug. And no, I don't think I will, I'll just use Youtube with ad blockers for as long as I can.
- dredmorbius 2y agoDespite having defended FOSS and advocated VLC ... I understand your viewpoint here. Calling on people to contribute bugfixes isn't especially realistic. Filing a bug on the fact that VLC has poor debug/log tools would be helpful though. Particularly as a useful logging / debugging capability should enable more useful bug reports specific to function. Sorry it's not working out for you, thanks for trying regardless.
- oblio 2y agoI'm just jaded at this point. FOSS won the battle and lost the war. It's been subsumed into the bowels of these corporations that are ending up mega predatory.
