Could you add it to right click menu to add any video to VLC Playlist? about chrome-vlc-remote HOT 7 CLOSED

I can make it so the context menu item appears for any link, but I consider that to be rather messy (though it would catch every possible URL). I'd prefer to catch specific filetypes. Do you have some example pages I could have a look at?

I guess you could limit it to standard files, (.mp4 .mkv .avi .mp3 .aac and
so on,) but it seems like an easy enough fix. Cooler would be to be able to
right click other video sites similar to Youtube and let those play, (Blip,
Vimeo, Dailymotion) but that seems like it would be too much work for so
little a tradeoff.

Actually, quite the contrary. I could simply have less restrictive pattern matching for the context menu. However, I'm reasonably sure that VLC only handles YouTube URLs directly (e.g. definitely doesn't work with Vimeo). For other services I'd have to somehow pull the video source URL; which may not be easy, or even possible depending on the service.

Looking through the links you gave me, all those pages have a download link somewhere. The easiest thing for me to do that would enable sending those links to VLC would just be to add [":///.ogg", ":///.ogv", ":///.mp3", ":///.mp4"] to the pattern matching. The only issue I can see with that is if a URL has something after the filename, such as some unique identifier in the case of a subscription service, it wouldn't be picked up.

Right, VLC has native Youtube Support. Dur...

What would you recommend if something doesn't have a standard link? Backend
it through the RSS?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'Backend it through the RSS', though in the case of a non-standard links... I suppose I could add an option to the preferences to simply enable the context menu on every link. Or (as with many other extensions I see) I could simply let the user send whatever they want, and let VLC deal with whether or not it'll actually play.

Ultimately, it's your app and your call.

v0.7.3 allows sending any URL to VLC. Doesn't mean VLC will actually play it though. Give it a try when the extension updates at your end and let me know how it works for you.
