A while back (2-3 months?), streams from Broadcastify suddenly stopped working, instead spitting out a "Your input can’t be opened:" error box.

E.g., https://broadcastify.cdnstream1.com/33417

This is the case with both my desktop (Linux Mint), as well as my Android tablet.
The streams still work with Totem/Videos and Banshee, though.
Is this something they did (but why would it still work with Totem and Banshee?) or some bug with VLC?

Ah, so it is.
Okay, in that case, a simple workaround—as long as security isn’t an issue—is to just change “https” to “http”! P=)
