G+_Giles Shine Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Worked me me. I did have a problem in OSX as VLC does not have a "tools" menu. However Windows>Media Information gives the huge URL you need down at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Bates Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm having the same problem as Tom where I get an error message. Using OSX 10.9 the latest version of VLC and the same result with either the Chrome or Safari browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Bates Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Clearly this is my problem as I also have a Win 7 (dell laptop) machine and I loaded up VLC and strangely I get the same error message as in OSX and that is the url location is blank. ???thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Father Robert, have you tried the link provided above? Some URLs don't work because VLC isn't putting the effort in to work through Google's URL/signature deobfuscation code. Many videos are not protected this way and will work with the method shown.
