So most videos like songs from VEVO channels does not open and 
require

"youtube-dl" as a dependency.


Test videos about GNU Guix, on the other hand, opened fine.

...

SUGGESTION: Bundling "youtube-dl" with "youtube-viewer" as a 
dependency.


We only unbundle software in Guix, but  I've added youtube-dl as 
an input and patched youtube-viewer to use it in 
58637415bedb8a91d916ab6ed6f318f7b7023c00.


I can now successfully play ‘Dmitri Shostakovich -  Waltz No. 2 
(by TheWickedNorth)’ which failed to play before.


Could you confirm whether this solves your problem?

Kind regards,

After discussion in Guix IRC Channel, it appears "youtube-viewer" (both GUI and
CUI) opens video without "youtube-dl" ONLY IF the video format is of lower
quality. So most videos like songs from VEVO channels does not open and require
"youtube-dl" as a dependency.

SUGGESTION: Bundling "youtube-dl" with "youtube-viewer" as a dependency.
