For me using the latest "Proton Experimental" now also works.

I'm not knowledgable enough to know if it works for all types of streams but maybe someone with enough experience can confirm for what video/stream types it works.

The video players page needs to be expanded or rewritten imo. We only have outdated anecdotal evidence behind the current recommendation to use GE-RTSP. In practice, people are switching between several forks because GE-RTSP doesn't fix everything. For example, did you know there is a Proton fork specifically to fix Popcorn Palace?

I've been thinking about having more concrete methodology to help test which Proton versions and worlds work the best for the different types of media: direct URLs, YouTube, rtsp live streams, and popcorn palace. Control for specific codecs and containers, ProTV versions, and measure performance, distortion, crash risk, seeking, etc., and compare with Windows. People might say "GE is fine for me" but don't mention that they exclusively watch YouTube videos, not live music.

I'd also like to get VRCVideoCacher working and documented here, since it's recently become more and more necessary for everyone (even Windows users) to install it if they want to be able to reliably load YouTube videos.
