3DYD Youtube Source is a set of plugins for watching videos from media sites directly in the video player.

So you just grab the link from Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion or other site, go to video player, click Open URL... (or similar depending on the player) and paste video URL directly there (example with images).

Note that this works only for video players which support playback using DirectShow. An exception is VLC, for which is available separate plugin.

Main features:

• precise tuning of automatic quality selection
• manual quality selection before playback start
• HLS live streams support
• DASH streams support (video and audio goes from separate streams)
• support for audio-only playback
• subtitles support
• access to video page metadata
