How to use VLC to get more from YouTube
Watching YouTube videos through VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org/) gives you extra
options, such as skipping adverts. Here's how to make the most of them .
To watch a YouTube video, go to Media. In Open (advanced) and click the Network tab. Paste your video's URL into the 'Please enter a network URL' box. Hit Enter or click Play. Previously watched web videos are in the drop-down menu.
Tick 'Show more options' to expand your playback choices. VLC caches a section of your video to prevent buffering. Extend the cache by changing the Caching number. Also change how far through the video you want playback to start.
To play YouTube playlists, install Playlist (bit.ly/PlayList). It will create a file with a .lua extension. Move this into the Playlist folder.° found in C:/Program Files/ VideoLAN/VLC/lua/playlist. Restart VLC and repeat Step 1, using the playlist's URL.
Loop videos and shuffle playlists from the playback bar. To control audio, click Extended Settings and open the Audio Effects tab. On the Video Effects tab,change the video's colour and rotate it. In Synchronization fixes syncing issues.
To keep the YouTube video on top of other windows, go to Video and choose 'Always on Top'. You can also zoom. crop and Take Snapshot. which takes a screen grab of the current frame and copies it to the clipboard.
From the Playback menu, you can change the video's speed. You can also jump forward and backward by 10 seconds for jump to a specific time. Click Custom Bookmarks. Manage and the current frame will be bookmarked.
