I have found a temporary solution.I'm not an expert, but this did the trick for me:

  1. Find a website which can download youtube video's (I suggest keepvid.com)

  2. Paste the url of your youtube video into the designated bar and, although we are not downloading anything, hit the Download button.

  3. Now the website gives you a list with different formats for you to choose from. RIGHT-click the one on top (mp4?) and copy the link's adress.

This link can be played in VLC Android and includes your youtube video.

VLC for Android does not support the lua plugins needed to parse the YT URL.

You need to parse the HTML layout yourself (and feed the resulting URL to VLC) or add support for lua plugins to VLC for Android to solve this issue.
