I can confirm that issue, maybe the compressed SWF format is not supported yet.
Please, report this bug to the upstream.

@Nesser please report this upstream to vlc.

dude

you cannot play that video like that. open that link in a browser and notice the big warning.

This video contains content from UMG. It is restricted...blabla

to clarify, smplayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHcUkc4tshA works fine but not if i pass with your url syntax.

I just fixed it in vlc-1.1.13-5 (testing).
Please, let me know if it works now.

@ wonder:
I used the other url format in the debug same results, also same results with your video url.
The short url isn't visible in browser, but is in the testing version of Vlc (tried now, this is an edit)
@ giovanni:
Perfetto! I just downloaded the package version from testing and installed through yaourt -U pkgname, works flawlessy! Thanks!
Works well with other videos.
