Hello,

Can't play YouTube videos as of today. Every attempt results in an "Unable to locate the URL for this video" error message. I understand that this may be due to changes made on the YouTube side, but funny thing is youtube-dl never breaks this way (i.e. I can still download using the very same URL that SMPlayer complains about), so seems like something needs to change in the way SMPlayer retrieves YouTube video to make it more resilient to changes. Also, there used to be a menu option for updating the YouTube code, but that seems to be gone in the latest version (17.12.0), so I guess we're out of luck and need to wait for another release?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
