Lua playlist module removes original URL for temporary one
I am using VLC 2.2.6 on Windows 7 x64
Steps to reproduce
- Start VLC
- Load playlist file that contains at least one youtube URL one other file/stream
- Play the youtube video at least once
- Activate the other entry in the playlist and hit pause
- Keep VLC open for a day
- Switch back to the youtube video
Expected result
Video plays every time you switch back, even if only after a long time
Real Result
The video does play during the first attempt, but VLC seems to cache the final Video URL somewhere. This URL however does expire after a few hours, after that VLC reports an error in the console every time you attempt to play the stream.
Proposed solution
Disable the caching of URLs for Youtube streams.
