Play Youtube Videos in VLC media player without any ADs

One of my friend's friend in Facebook wrote some funny quote about YouTube Ads.

Dear YouTube, When You buffer I still Prefer but when ADs buffer, I Suffer :(

Yes ! it is true with my case also. Previously when I have a slower internet connection i cursed myself  for buffering.
But now even though I have a faster internet connection YouTube ads started irritating me.I have to reduce the volume until the ad ends and then again i have to increase it (for my desired video!). Sometimes God(YouTube!!) gives me the "skip ad" button.And here comes the little banner Ads which are damn crazy(most of the times i open the ad instead of closing it!!!)

So for a confusing (and lazy too !) person like me YouTube ADs are almost like a hell.So I have Googled about this issue and found some solutions like browser extensions which actually made the problem more complex (#yeah.some of them are not secure). Then one of friend told me that VLC can play(stream) YouTube videos.

Stream YouTube Videos in VLC media player

I have used VLC all the time in my laptop as VLC is an open source application which runs on almost every platform like Linux,Windows,Mac,Android etc. But i have never used this feature previously.Once I have checked this feature I liked it so much.

How To play YouTube videos in VLC media player:

For this i have used the latest VLC media player (v2.0.5). For some of the older versions it may not work properly so please get the latest VLC media player at videolan.org/

• Open YouTube and copy the URL of the video from address bar(or you can copy the path from share button option also)
• Now open VLC media player and press Ctrl+N (media-->open network stream)
• Paste the YouTube video path here and press stream

That's all ! You will see the YouTube video playing right inside your VLC media player without any ADs. This is really helpful as we are all familiar with VLC shortcuts.

PS : this will work fine with any online video. But don't use "https" kind urls which can't be streamed.
