Can not stream youtube videos/urls on winamp?

[vzvz123]

So I've been looking high and low for the answer to this question, even going so far as trying to download old versions of winamp to overcome the "error streaming" that always results when I try to either insert a url manually or drag the video on top of the winamp player to automatically insert the link.
It either gives me an error connecting to stream, or just says connecting for so long. Has this feature been allowed in the past, and then discontinued/halted? I'm fairly new to winamp, so if someone could help out, that would be nice.
