I cannot seem to find a function/command that will start playing specified video from URL or file. Do something like that even exists? I have checked over OnlineVideos code and they have their own custom player class.

I noticed there's an updated Visual C++ Runtime (14.50.35710), maybe try to reinstall the runtimes? That's what fixed the issue when I tried 1.38.1
