Public bug reported: this has happened to me a number of times, interestingly vlc gets near to the end of a youtube video, but not finished, then sometimes aborts looking like it finished. for example i just invoked
vlc --disable-screensaver 'http://youtu.be/wKTXJUYiAT4?fmt=43' and it aborted at about 4:10 out of 5:07. i pressed play, positioned it to about 4:00, and it aborted again at about 4:58. i pressed play again, positioned it to about 4:30, and then it did get to the end. then i invoked vlc http://youtu.be/wKTXJUYiAT4 and it played all the way through. then i played the former again, and it aborted at about 4:58. then i played the latter again, and it played all the way through. so is it related to the variation in the parameters, or is it just plain spurious?
