Hi Silvia - I believe this was fixed in 2019.2.2, which was released earlier this week. Please let us know if that is not the case!

gg67: My video player still isn't working. I do have the latest update, tried reinstalling, verifying files, and inputting the new youtubedl manually but nothing is showing up.

Clarissa: Hey, please send an email to support@vrchat.com describing the problem and we'll do our best to help out.

Aev: I was about too however I fixed it after a bit more research. Apprently I didn't have visual c++ 2010 x86 redistributable. But I had the x64 version. Downloading the x86 fixed it.

Merged in a post:
Vrc_Sync video player not working properly.

So for some reason more than half of the links that I had In my Vrc_Sync video player component have stopped working causing the videos that do work to loop.
-I have not changed anything in the video player, I just reuploaded the world and came across this issue.
-The links are not broken or anything.
-This started happening shortly after I updated my SDK.

And now a release is available: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases
You can update before the VRChat release with:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VRChat\VRChat_Data\StreamingAssets\youtube-dl.exe" -U
Or by replacing the youtube-dl.exe above with the release from GitHub. Seems to fix the problems with Video Players from my testing.
Observer.
Eremite: Yep I tested youtube-dl 2019.05.11 last night. Can confirm that this new version works and the vrchat one can be updated or replaced with the latest version to make the video players work while we wait for vrchat to push an update themselves.

Looks like dem' bois got a PR in: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/21003 Hopefully we can get an update with the new build soonish. Not sure if they plan to wait for the next public build or not.
- On a side note, it still downloaded the video even though it spat out a warning. The client could perhaps benefit from verifying if the file is downloading or not rather than bailing on errors?
