I can not see real time streaming Youtube Videos from the web in this tool?

Hello, I would like to be able to display Youtube videos directly via this plugin without having to download them extra, which I would also celebrate if that does not work, a kind of download manager directly in the tool perhaps, so that I no longer have to manually insert the Youtube videos as in the VLC OBS plugin but can download them directly.

Very important to me would be the function to view Youtube videos in the plugin without downloading them first.

Currently, this does not work, the VLC plugin does.

Please try loading them directly in a regular Media Source. If it can't load it, then it is a Media Source limitation, as this plugin only uses the Media Source.

That being said, youtube urls usually have a hidden url that is the true url for the video/audio stream, which can be played by Media Source. I believe VLC simply gets this true url in some way.
