Aev Just curious, why not push a hotfix instead of waiting until next update to fix this? YouTube-dl already updated to fix this latest issue so it’s as simple as dragging and dropping the new youtube-dl in and replacing the old one, which is exactly what I’ve done on my own client with the steps I laid out in the comments here which got everything working again.

Kizzy: Good question. When relying on a scraping library like this it seems procedures to get it updated ASAP would be good.

This is an issue specific to YouTube links, and will be fixed in the next VRChat update.

Moreover when using not YT links sometimes this error can be found in log and music is not playing

A temporary workaround for club owners is to host their music elsewhere as MP4s and link to those. That works. I'll start doing this myself in the next couple of days (eeep, bandwidth). But I would really love this to be fixed.

Here's a workaround:
Download the new latest YouTube-DL from here: https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VRChat\VRChat_Data\StreamingAssets and rename the "youtube-dl.exe" in there to "youtube-dl_old.exe". Now drag and drop the latest youtube-dl you downloaded in there, and you should have no issues with playing YouTube videos on players. Note this is only a local fix though.
It's quite literally as simple as dragging and dropping so I don't know why it's taking so long for the devs to push a hotfix for this issue.

VRC Video Sync YT Broken
JoeRobbi
So in the latest update to vrchat the video sync component broke for Youtube. A lot of the club maps have been effected and don't play music or only play select songs. It is very frustrating when you spend a lot of time on a world and the main part of your world is now broken. To my knowledge this does not effect streams. I don't know the fix for this and that is partly why I am here, because it was and has worked up until VRChat 2018.3.1
*edit
Apparently YouTube changed something that messed up videos playing. I am not sure if Vrchat could fix this in anyway now knowing this. But I will leave this up here for open disscussion on this topic.
Any help with fixing this would be great. Thank you

YouTube-DL needs to be updated for this to be fixed.
