Simple lua script that wraps yt-dlp.exe into VLC
|
VLC yt-dlp Lua Wrapper
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By default it requires yt-dlp.exe in the VLC directory but feel free to change its path in the script
|
A simple Lua script that integrates yt-dlp directly into VLC, allowing you to stream supported online videos by simply opening a network URL in VLC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Also uses a powershell command to hide the cmd window that appears meanwhile yt-dlp cooks the links,
|
Features
|
||||||
also it uses if found yt-dlp-silent.exe that just a c++ wrapper that does kinda the same without using powershell
|
|
||||||
|
Wraps yt-dlp.exe for seamless use inside VLC
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, expects yt-dlp.exe in the VLC directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The path can be easily changed inside the script
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Automatically hides the command window while yt-dlp resolves the stream:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Uses a PowerShell command by default
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If yt-dlp-silent.exe is found, it will be used instead (a small C++ wrapper that suppresses the console without PowerShell)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Place the Lua script in VLC’s Lua playlist directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Make sure yt-dlp.exe (or yt-dlp-silent.exe) is available.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In VLC, select Media → Open Network Stream.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Paste a supported video URL and play.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Video Quality Selection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can force a specific video quality by appending the quality parameter to the URL:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
&quality=xxx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Simply open a network stream in VLC and let it rip
|
Supported values:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
add &quality=xxx to the URL to select the video quality, omit to default to maximum quality possible
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

If the parameter is omitted, the script defaults to the highest available quality.

|
Notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Requires Windows (due to PowerShell / executable usage).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
VLC must have Lua playlist scripts enabled (default behavior).
