You can absolutely watch youtube on it, it's as easy as copying the link and pasting it on the VLC window. Don't know about crunchyroll, being a paid service (afaik) you probably can't without some sort of addon.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

Where do I paste the link in VLC just CTRL + V on the player? Crunchyroll has a free version you can watch without account

Yes you can, open network stream and just add the video address.

Sorry, I missed a step. You need youtube-dl to get the correct URL first.

 

Once you installed youtube-dl you can open a terminal and type 

youtube-dl -f best -g <link to the video>

then paste the output in VLC with ctrl-v.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

Which part? If you mean install youtube-dl, download it from here and open a terminal in the same folder to access it.

Would this just work on YouTube?

it can't just play the video as far as I know, it can download it for you though. You should read the documentation for youtube-dl, there are a lot of features.

So if I do it on another site it just will download the video from your knowledge or wut?
