Video players are completely broken for youtube videos. Any other source works perfectly fine, but youtube does one of 3 things: 1: Doesn’t load 2: Takes 5-10minutes to after many retries 3: Loads the wrong(usually previous) video And I’ve tried everything. Reinstalled vrchat(in a different f…

I don’t have a solution, all I can say is that i’m also experiencing this issue

I have submitted a flag in hopes of bringing more attention to this issue. I sincerely hope that someone from the team looks into this thoroughly and that my flag receives proper consideration.

It worked for me but my solution was clearing my vrc cache (dunno if that contributed but might as well try) and deleting the yt-dlp.exe

Troubleshooting Guide for Debugging and Clearing Cache on VRChat If you’re experiencing issues with VRChat, follow these steps to debug and resolve the problem: Step 1: Access Debug Settings On VR headset: Press B on your controller while in the Hub. On PC: Press the Escape Key in the VRChat appl…

I fixed this issue by downloading yt-dlp.exe from GitHub and replacing the old one in the Tools folder in C:\Users\ “user”\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat\Tools, then going into the properties of yt-dlp.exe and enabling the Read-Only attribute so it doesn’t get overwritten by the old file

We strongly recommend against doing this – replacing the yt-dlp file with the “default” one bypasses many changes and fixes we apply to that program in order to keep you safe in VRChat.

Maybe you will help to fix it instead of not recommending fixing it??
