Bookmarks or Favorites for frequently-played URLs?

Unless there is already a way to do this I think it would be a good feature for future versions of VLC Media Player. There are several live streams that I access frequently with VLC. It would be great if I could simply bookmark the URLs for these streams rather than having to type them into the &quo...

Re: Playing YouTube videos. Has YouTube changed things?

Re: Timing out while playing live streams

I have the exact same problem, and would also like to know if there are any settings I should change to play http streams better.
