Import a youtube video / playlist into VLC.
INSTALLATION:

* Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/
* Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/playlist/
* Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/playlist/

/! Some browser (Chrome...) may change the file extension for ".txt" instead of ".lua", so make sure you choose "All extensions" in the dialog box when you save the file on your computer.

- Start VLC, press Ctrl+N, paste the url then click on "Play" (or Alt+P then Enter), the video /playlist should start
Troubleshooting:
/! Follow this steps if and only if you have already install the script and it doesn't work..
/! for the actual script see the "download" button (playlist_youtube.lua) below.
If the videos list appears in the Vlc "playlist" view but the videos won't start, follow this steps:
1) delete the file "youtube.luac" in [vlc directory]/lua/playlist directory (ex: c:Program FilesVideoLANVLCluaplaylistyoutube.luac)
2) get the latest version of thr "youtube" script from here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/videolan/vlc/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua
3) place the file in the directory [vlc directory]/lua/playlist (where "youtube.luac" was)

It just shows blank screen for this type. The common type that start with playlist?list=PL can be played normally now. Thank you.

FYI a request with index x will return videos from index x-100 to x+99, but if index it out of range (over playlist length), it will return 0-199. So it starts of with x=100 to get 0-199, then x=200 to get 100-299, etc. To avoid missing the last (up to 100) elements you with taking 200-jumps. In turn I had to revisit the duplication detection to avoid those hundreds of duplicates.
