# VLC yt-dlp Lua Wrapper
|
||
|
||
A simple Lua script that integrates **yt-dlp** into **VLC**, allowing you to stream supported online videos by opening a network URL in VLC.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- Wraps `yt-dlp.exe` for use inside VLC
|
||
- By default requires `yt-dlp.exe` to be in the VLC directory
|
||
(the path can be changed directly in the script)
|
||
- Hides the command prompt window while yt-dlp processes the URL:
|
||
- Uses a PowerShell command by default
|
||
- Automatically uses `yt-dlp-silent.exe` if found (a small C++ wrapper that suppresses the console without PowerShell)
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- Windows
|
||
- VLC Media Player
|
||
- `yt-dlp.exe` or `yt-dlp-silent.exe`
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
1. Copy the Lua script into VLC’s Lua playlist directory:
|
||
|
||
`VLC\lua\playlist\`
|
||
|
||
2. Place `yt-dlp.exe` (or `yt-dlp-silent.exe`) in the VLC directory
|
||
or edit the script to point to its location.
|
||
3. Restart VLC.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
1. Open VLC.
|
||
2. Go to **Media → Open Network Stream**.
|
||
3. Paste a supported video URL and click **Play**.
|
||
|
||
VLC will call yt-dlp, resolve the stream, and start playback automatically.
|
||
|
||
## Video Quality Selection
|
||
|
||
Append the `quality` parameter to the URL to force a specific resolution:
|
||
|
||
`&quality=xxx`
|
||
|
||
Supported values:
|
||
|
||
- `360p`
|
||
- `480p`
|
||
- `720p`
|
||
- `1080p`
|
||
- `2160p`
|
||
|
||
If omitted, the script defaults to the highest available quality.
