Play in VLC™ Extension

\"Play in VLC\" is a browser extension to send all detectable video and audio sources to the well-known VLC multimedia player. The extension detects all the media for the current page and displays the total number of the detected media sources in the badge area. You can left-click on the toolbar button to send these media sources to the VLC player. Also, the extension has right-click context menu item for video and audio elements to send them directly to the VLC player.

You can use the right-click context menu item over the toolbar button to copy the detected media sources to the clipboard.

Note: This extension needs a native-client to be able to communicate with the VLC player. This native-client is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. There is no support for other operating systems.
