PowerDVD Ultra 15.0.4630.62, Windows 10 x64 1809, CPU i7-8750H, GPU GTX1070 8GB, 32GB RAM 2666MHz.

I'm successfully connected to my YouTube account through PowerDVD 15.
YouTube can't play videos, with error saying:
"Video Play unsuccessful. The YouTube playback feature is temprarily unavailable. We are checking with YT and will fix it soon. Please try and click the link to ply the video in your browser: http:// link-here"
Vimeo does work and can play videos instead.

Possible technical explanation:
considering my last discovery I wonder if PowerDVD 15 (and later?) uses TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 to connect to YouTube...
Probably Google blocked those kind of encryption protocols because are not considered safe anymore. This would require some changes in PowerDVD to connect and auth to YouTube site.
