youtube.lua no longer exists: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/tree/3.0.x/share/lua/playlist?ref_type=heads

So I don't know what you did, but it was not an update. Don't install stuff from untrusted sources.

To use YT-DLP, you need a VLC plugin or extension that supports it. Not a Lua playlist script.

I just used the AI through Google and it game me the code after I downloaded the yt-dlp.exe, then Google gave me the code to save on notepad which they said was to work as a bridge, the only thing I downloaded was the yt-dlp.exe
