YouTube videos suffer from buffer issues due to Google rate limiting apps
As the title says. It is impossible to watch YouTube through VLC anymore due to Google apparently rate limiting apps. You will buffer 10 seconds to watch 3 seconds of video.
Here is a supposed fix suggestion by somebody, perhaps this can be implemented in VLC? https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/q9dft5/comment/hgx5gic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
