File associations from Chrome browser - How to make .TS link to open in VLC?

Hi there,
I am sorry if this forum is not the right one, I do not know about Android systems so much..
If User clicks a link on Chrore browser for
http://site.com/stream.ts, Browser starts to donwload the file (stream that never ends), rather than asking that application should take care of this.
Siomething has happened, because couple of weeks ago the link click asked for VLC or other.
Chrome & VLC Apps Settings for Default app are both empty.
What Do I need to do in order to make my Android 8.1 Nokia 8 phone to ask what to do with .TS links?

I changed the ap manifest to handle it.
It should work with next major release.

Hello there.
Android VLC updated just to version v3.0.13..
clicking a link on
http://site.com/video.ts page in chrome did not ask/open vlc.. Is the update above mentioned with this update?

Version 3.0.13 was released in July and the next major release will be v3.1.
Meanwhile, you can try a
nightly build.

Ok, thank you.
I tried "VLC-Android-3.0.13-20181107-0059-ARMv8.apk" and this build did not change the efect... Chrome just asked to "donload to folder"... VLC was not mentioned.. Donno if the assosiaction feature was in there...

That can't work. vlc must be launched with --http-continuous option

I guess he means that VLC is not proposed as an app choice when trying to open a TS file from the file explorer.

Wonderful, this issue will be fixed quite soon I guess, using VLC:// URI scheme registration inside to open the http.... file.ts!
e.g. using <h href="vlc://http://..... video.ts"> like with iOS version already understands, issue resovled!
Here is the Issue 708

Is this fixed (Android VLC v3.0.13)?
Also can someone supply the ever illusive syntax to using vlc://?
No matter what I have tried (example vlc://http://<ip address>/path/<file name>) it fails with can't play.
I have literally spent days searching forums and Google, all I find is equally frustrated user post.

You must use 3.1.0-RC3 for vlc:// syntax to work.
