It works around this by using youtube-dl, since the lua http interface for VLC is not expressive enough to create a proper fix.

| VLC HAS already a youtube importer, but not for playlists. IMO this mentioned one is | |
| better than this one, because it opens the video in the best possible video resolution. | |
| So i decided to remove all parts of the code which is not responsible for list handling. | |
| Now this lua script parses the list, as wanted, but for each video opened, the vlc default | |
| Youtube script is used, so the videos will be displayed properly. | |

@p3g4asus is it broken OR is it due to some youtube api updates recently?
doesn't seem to work for me though..

It still does work for most videos. I recommend you keep your youtube-dl executable file updated downloading it periodically from its official website
