I only found out fairly recently that it can stream youtube videos (mostly, it does fail sometimes for seemingly no reason), which is great for those of us who end up clicking too frequently (read, all the time) on the related videos tab.
It also mean that you don't see the ads, but there are extensions that can do that too.
- malwarebytess 6y agoThere are extensions that add youtube ads to vlc?
- 7786655 6y agoI assume tomjen3 was referring to browser extensions that block ads on the YouTube website.
- smokelegend 6y agoWill a pi-hole stop the YouTube ads?

- tombert 6y agoI didn't know that! That's so awesome! See, my point stands...there's still a ton of cool features that are available in there if you dig around.
- jcynix 6y agoYes, it can play YouTube videos. And it can even show you the link to the video in ints info no, so you can download it. That's what I used before youtube-dl appeared on the scene.
