Playing VLC streams directly from web page?
If you inspect the object (right-click -&gt; Inspect (Q)) with the VLC plugin, it shows the HTML markup of that object. Looking further into the HTML, you'll notice a target=&quot;*&quot; tag. Open the URL inside this tag (in your case IP:PORT/directory) with the &quot;Open Stream&quot; option of VLC and you are good to go.
