VLC stopped playing youtube videos due to changes in the youtube API.
This has been fixed upstream in this commit:

http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-2.0.git;a=commit;h=68286300eba339ab8e61221c213383012ce274f1

Maybe it would be wise to include it in the build until next version is released.
This task depends upon

That patch does not apply correctly:

==> Starting build()...
patching file share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 7 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua.rej

This was the only commit in the file since January. If it doesnt diff doesnt apply, i dont know, maybe just grab the file from git?

vlc 2.0.4 was tagged yesterday and has this fixed so no need to apply anything.
