Bug#769739: vlc: Can't play videos in webm format on YouTube
> lua info: youtube.lua: debug: parse(): js_url before > //s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/html5player-ro_RO-vflJ1gY7_/html5player.js > lua info: youtube.lua: debug: parse(): js_url fixed (added "http:") > http://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/html5player-ro_RO-vflJ1gY7_/html5player.js > lua error: youtube.lua: pick_url(): Couldn't locate video signature, YouTube > won't work without it. These logs were never in the mainline youtube.lua script, it seems you were using an alternate version. Please make sure that an old stray version isn't installed in ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/playlist/ Please try after installing/updating in ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/playlist/ the most recent youtube.lua from the master branch: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD If the problem still persists (which I'm quite confident it won't), please resubmit full logs (the links to full logs have unfortunately expired) and/or contact me directly, I will see it through.

Here's the full log: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=14243586289186258847 Also tried to send another message to this bug report, but for some reason it wasn't accepted, here's what I wanted to add last time: Strangely the webm format still plays properly with VLC 2.1.5 (stable) on Windows. Can't check under Debian as I have no way of getting binaries for that specific version. If it would be useful/required to test 2.1.5 on Debian, in the end I could compile it. 2.2.0 is now available in unstable. Could you please test again?
