I think most players will require a re-write!:

Just received an update to SMTube in Zorin 9 - SMTube has been updated and released but as yet does not have full functionality like the old one - again just to repeat this is down to YouTube changing its format etc. ;-)

Is this perhaps what you were after?

Found a relatively new GNU/Linux which has a copy of VLC that works with YouTube - Bluestar Linux - even works in Virtual Box on Zorin 9 64-bit!
