   I have a locally-recorded video at   
   http://www.zefox.net/~bp/ampinvt/2nd_inverter/browser_viewable_2nd_inverter.mp4   
      
   It plays remotely  using the default vlc media player that comes with RasPiOS,    
   but without sound (there isn't much, just some background noise).   
      
   It does not play, nor advance the progress bar, using chromium or firefox.   
      
   On YouTube the progress bar advances and thumbnails display, but the   
   normal video window remains blank when using chromium or firefox.   
      
   Copying a YouTube URL into vlc media player causes an error, which  starts with   
   Your input can't be opened:   
   VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://rr2---sn-nvopjoxu-25ve.go   
   glevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1765254131&ei=k083aZHbLNaMlu8P   
   rCu0As&ip=50.1.20.31&id=o-AJ-TWnr5nbiu1saDbbnTkT--M44S09bXDdhPGEg1........   
   but I suppose that some deliberate access control by Youtube.   
      
   I'm still stumped and hoping this'll get by an upgrade, as in the past.   
      
   Thanks for writing!
