@gz83 Some videos on youtube use widevine. Specifically movies and stuff. Which are normally paid for individually, or available with a youtube premium subscription. However, sometimes youtube also offers free premium copyrighted content. In any case, content like this is protected with widevine. If youtube is requiring VMP to play these, then it will also not work for the same reasons outlined in the post you linked
