I do not work for VDH. I'm just another user.

I am finding some other YouTube content that is not being recognized in VDH:

https://www.youtube.com/live/JW-eWRVVFNw
https://www.youtube.com/live/i2ET8V0hXkU

Those were randomly chosen off your mentoring video page, which also is not being recognized by VDH. It does not appear to be private. I was able to play it in the web page.

But others seem to be no problem:

Is YouTube rolling out another in their long line of frivolous changes that upset VDH?

I just read a Reuters article reporting some new YouTube feature about adding notes to videos. This is supposed to start rolling out today. Maybe this is causing a problem for VDH. Only @paulrouget Paul can determine if that's true.

Maybe related to #501?

9.0.2.3a1 is kind of old now. The current beta is 9.1.0.41. But it does not cure the problem of YouTube videos that require a login. That appears to include private videos, age-restricted videos, & purchased/rented videos. I suspect purchased/rented videos may be protected by DRM anyway, so they would be a lost cause. The others might be possible to get. We still need @paulrouget Paul to tell us what his investigations have found, assuming he's investigated this issue.

In a post upthread here from me a couple of months ago I listed 4 YouTube videos, 2 that VDH failed to recognize & 2 that were no problem for VDH. This has not changed.
