I am unable/unwilling to watch youtube live streams through my browser.

It seems like I should be able to do this in VLC, but I cannot figure out how to. Simply copying and pasting the youtube URL into the Network Stream in VLC gives me errors.

Anyone know what I may be doing wrong and how to watch live streams hosted on youtube?

ViewTube is able to handle it. It can either do this with the VLC plugin if you have it, or otherwise, you can get a link to paste into VLC from the "Get" button on the player.

Disclaimer: I'm not having any success with this; the video just kind of sits there for me, never going forward. But hopefully this can at least be a starting point.

ViewTube is here:

It works well here with the default video player, Totem.
