Sorry, could have formulated it better. Hetzner did. I’m a happy customer of Linode. It seems they all have filters failing in different ways.

For those who don’t know: VLC also takes a YouTube video address as input (in the menu: Media | Open Network Stream…).

Cromite was suggested to me and it seems to work well: https://github.com/uazo/cromite
