I'm just an end user with some experience, not a programmer. Just replying this time to let you know what I found when I tried to open a few things.
1.) One of your URLs with 'Advanced Open' - Nothing happened, simply appeared as a playlist entry. Double clicking and pressing play button had no effect.
2.) Known good local JPG dragged and dropped to VLC, success, accurate display, it had a ten second progress bar.
3.) Known good static GIF dragged and dropped as above, black display in approximate dimensions, ten second progress bar.
4.) Known good active GIF dragged and dropped as above, black display, appx dimensions, ten seconds.
I encourage you to check the documentation to find out about VLC and GIF media type.
