Is possible to set VLC as default for all Youtube ?
« on: December 19, 2012, 01:14 AM »
For whatever reason, there seems to be a new conflict with my Logitech headset and Youtube.
Sound comes on and off etc.
Tired of this battle, i was wondering if there's a way to have all Youtube clips (even embedded) open by default within VLC?

Windows or Linux?

Who can tell what VLC Plugin does; there is absolutely no description.

I like VLC, just wish it could be default player without having to do any copy/pasting of urls.

Think i might do a quick re-install of my OS and see.
Hopefully it's not a physical problem but a conflict of programs.
