Video player not working for Youtube videos - nothing is working. "Automatic resync is disabled."

Help!

Hi - I’ve gone through almost every step in previous forum posts but have had no luck. Youtube videos will just not load and get stuck in an infinite loop, sometimes it’ll first say “Rate limited” but then go on to just say “Video error.” When I checked output logs I got this over and over.

nextnex? The world author there should take that out of the URL

You want to look a bit lower down and see if yt-dlp is doing anything. For example I was in YTS Search yesterday, and in my logs I got like this

2025.11.01 03:21:10 Debug - NativeProcess.HasExited: process exited with code 0, took 2639 ms. Command line: C:/Users/Kyle/AppData/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat\Tools/yt-dlp.exe (…)
2025.11.01 03:21:10 Debug - [Video Playback] URL ‘https://dmn.moe/a/6/sr/38730’ resolved to ‘https://rr2---sn-uxa0n-t8gy.googlevideo.com/videoplayback? I’ve redacted 1500 characters of stuff here including my ip address lol’

That Video Playback URL line, the first is what i was told to figure out, and the second URL is what yt-dlp returned, note the googlevideo.com part

But maybe more likely you’re looking for a line with NativeProcess.HasExited in it, and see what those lines say
