Thanks for the suggestion. I uninstalled and reinstalled VLC. I saved http://addons.videolan.org/CONTENT/content-files/149909-playlist_youtube.lua with filename youtube_playlist.lua to C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\playlist and C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist . I then opened VLC, and tried to 'Open Media' 'Network Protocol' with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN7LW0Y00kE&list=PL716939B3219E3283 . The plugin successfully extracted all of the song names. But then I start getting errors:

You can also find a screenshot of how my VLC looks after trying to play the whole playlist:
http://imgur.com/k1IgYi3

And why the heck you listen Christmas song in August? (:

Try with to load an url of a simple youtube video, not a playlist.

The job of "youtube_playlist" is to retrieve the list of videos and such. I removed the part that loaded the video long time ago because some people were not happy with it.
The script "youtube.lua" which is included in Vlc and maintained by a dev of the vlc team does that. If you get the playlist but not the videos afterward, it is probably a problem with "youtube.lua".

Also please do not paste your raw error log here, use a pastebin service like pastebin.com.

I added a note about this so hopefully people won't follow the instructions in gthe troubleshooting section before installing the script :)

It's a fine work.
Only need to modify youtube.lua and playlist_youtube.lua with a text editor and delete the HTML code up the page.
The plugins must begin with "--[[" (without quotes) deleting the rest of the (HTML) code that comes before them.
Write in the description PLS.

Greetings

My fault don't work :(

I've deleted youtube.lua and now i used youtube.luac and playlist_youtube.lua (without HTML code up) and now work. But not all the video work (for the privacy content think).

Greetings

I have no idea how you end up with html in your file because the original file does not contain any. How do you get the file?
There's usually no need to mess up with youtube.luac, only if you have and old version of Vlc.
Yes, the script can only access public videos and playlists, not the private one if that's what you mean.

If you can;t seem to get it to work, you may have a similar problem to mine.
First, if you look in your "Playlist" folder, under your "VLC" folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist) and you see a bunch of ".LUAC" extensions/file-formats, try compiling the .LUA file to the .LUAC extionsion...

1.) Go to http://luac.mtasa.com/ to use their online LUA to LUAC COMPILER
2.) BROWSE for the file, by clicking on the "Choose File" Button
3.) I left the "Anti-decompile" box CHECKED and the "Encryption" box UNCHECKED!
4.) Click "Submit" to Compile! (If for some reason you get an ERROR, just click the "Back" button in your browser and try again. I had that happen at least once or twice in the past)
5.) Lastly, place the file with the other LUAC files, under your "VLC/LUA/PLAYLIST" Directory!

I hope I could help a few others who may be having problems... Good Luck!!!

Unfortunately this didn't work for me :(
Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated :)

Start vlc in debug mode and pastebin you debug log, as explained here:
https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub/wiki/Troubleshooting#if-the-extension-doesnt-appear-in-the-vlc-menu

Here is the VLC log:
http://pastebin.com/F6rGQQpA

PS. My apologies for the double post below. I don't know what happened there :S

Vlc doesn't seem to see the script at all, it should be here for you:
d:\Downloads\VideoLan Client\lua\playlist\149909-playlist_youtube.lua

If you have this \lua\playlist\ directory with the file in it, check that it has a ".lua" extension and not ".lua.txt" for example.

That's exactly where it is, and it also has the .lua extension :S By default there is also a "youtube.luac" in that folder (aside from a bunch of other .luac files (e.g. dailymotion.luac, vimeo.luac, etc)). I tried it with and without that file. When I tried the suggestion of MrMattiPants I deleted the original.

The only thing I can think of is that it has to necessarily be installed.

Ok, so I installed VLC instead of using the portable edition, and now it's working perfectly :D

Hmm... reading back a few more pages, I realise the youtube.luac is actually a different script, so nevermind that :P

I can't get it to work :( When I try to play a playlist (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYqfXQ-ztmZJBrH5uxs0IasF3gUhdTflO) it tells me: "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL". When I change the https into http it doesn't give me an error, but just doesn't play. It does nothing.

I can however play https URL's of single video's just fine. (E.g. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgIHxfvsge4)

I use the latest version of VLC (vlc-2.1.5-win32), and downloaded the script from the URL mentioned in troubleshooting. And I doubt it matters, but I use the portable version of VLC.

Regards

Why wont it work with this link http://youtu.be/JHEv-6KAk1o?list=PLsu-Zcc4mmmXqZF1rUVN09rbVJq-DegXz? Ty.

This list works fine for me.

Ok its really simple.

Just Remove the s from the Https part.

Exemple:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-9Ekhv2eSg (this will not work)

remove the s from https

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-9Ekhv2eSg (now it works)

I hope it will help solve your problem

If you use Google Chrome and you click save as you will get the full HTML data and that is why it does not work.
You should make a file in the playlist folder named "playlist_youtube.luac" (if you are not sure how to make the file a luac file, google how to edit the fileformat)
Then open the file in an text editor (like notepad) and COPY the text from the page you get into when you click "download" and paste in the playlist_youtube.luac. save it and reload VLC

So, I don't know if youtube changed something or what, but for some time now for me VLC will load only 80 videos max, even if the playlist has the maximum of 200 videos.
No, the playlist isn't private and doesn't have private videos, so that side is cool.
I noticed that if I open a playlist on youtube it will load only 80 videos at once so I thought that maybe that could be the problem? But after the March update I tried messing a bit with the script and changed the "index" at line 62 to be equal to "2" and changed the values at line 91 and line 91 from 100 to 200 and with this little temporary edit the maximum number of videos went from 80 to 100 in VLC. I tried going further but if I enter everything bigger then 3 on the index the playlist load will skip ahead 10 videos and will start the list from video number 10 and it will load it up until video 110 so this is still 100 videos.
Does somebody know what could be the problem here?
