We will discuss the reasons why this happens

(SOLVED) Your input cannot be opened: VLC cannot open the MRL

Are you getting the error "Your input cannot be opened" when trying to play an online video (such as YouTube videos) in VLC Media Player? Your media link may be broken, or there may be issues with your app or system. We'll show you how to fix these issues so you can get streaming your content.

Some reasons for the above error are that VLC is outdated, your firewall is restricting access to the media link provided, or you don't own the file if you are playing a local file.

The first thing to check when you can’t play online content in VLC is the source link of your media file. The link you’re trying to open might be broken, causing the app to display an error message.
