How do I download or play Youtube videos?
« on: October 29, 2024, 03:30:40 pm »

Hi,

When I open Youtube in Standard View, it just behaves like any web browser. The videos play in their little window, no option to download or play through MC. Many years ago, it would either download or play in MC Display View (CTRL+click brought up a menu).

Trying to play a Youtube clip in Theater View just leaves MC not responding and I have to close and restart it.

Playing a trailer (right clicking a movie title in Standard View and selecting Play Trailer finally works, but for some titles it will show some interview clip instead of the trailer. (I can't remember last time it did until this latest update .37)

Trying to open a streaming URL and pasting a Youtube link gives the error "There is nothing to play."

I know that Youtube changes their API all the time and it is hard to keep up, but what is the latest status?
