Robert 2022-09-14 I love this extension! I was trying to find a way so that when I browse to a video link on my NAS, it would automatically send the link to VLC without having to click a button to send to vlc. With the help of this extension, I can do exactly that! I also needed the help with another extension called REDIRECTOR to automatically add vlc:// to any url that matches the one to my NAS. Then this extension detects the vlc:// and does its magic. I installed with the .bat option so I can easily customize the batch script to properly handle the NAS url (by default, it couldn't handle the & in the url).
