I need a media player that does just one thing: Play a file and take for example either a YouTube or a Spotify or a SoundCloud or a Mixcloud URL and play it.

So, a media player that is based on playing via APIs from other storages than local, but possibly also play local files.

I have tried all media players and none can take a YouTube URL and play it.

    For which operating system? Is support for some of the online services required (if yes, for which?), or would you also be happy for a player that only supports one of them?

  • Not MacOS. I'd be happy for a "gnutube" that does one thing and does it well for example gnutube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFe6-kj3g-I should play the media and only the media. I'd also be happy with audio only but I want the program "gnuish" and minimal.

If you are looking for one, then you have to try VLC Media Player. Even the YouTube URL also worked in it.

    Gagan, could you please at least include a link to where to find the player? Usually I'd ask also to list how it matches the requirements, but the question doesn't give much of that ;) Pointer: Our answer guidelines. Thanks! // PS: The downvote isn't mine ;)
