VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • Network Stream not working properly



Hi everyone, i read many posts about adjusting the quality of the video and i tried a little bit of everything but i just can’t make it work.
What i’m trying to do is streaming a map on roll20.
It basically works like this:

Upload a video on youtube.
Open VLC -> Media -> Open Network Stream -> Paste the link from my YT channel.
At this time im playing the video from youtube and i just need to get the “Location” in Tools -> Media Information and that’s it, i have the code to paste on roll20 to stream a map from my VLC.

The problem is the video i’m watching on VLC has an extremely bad quality compared to the video on youtbe.
On yt i’m watching the video in 4k, while on VLC (According to the options -> Tool -> Preferences -> Show Settings ALL -> Input / Codecs -> Preferred Video Resolution) it seems like i can only play videos in 1080p and the quality is incredibly bad.
Since the website (Roll20) takes the video from vlc instead of YT, the final result is crazy bad.
Any idea on how to fix this?
I tried to read a few posts that eventually lead me to this “Preferred Video Resolution” option but no luck so far. I also tried to use Direct3D11 as video output but again no luck.
Thank you
