Feature request: HTML parsing

Postby konstantin_hu » 04 Sep 2013 19:41

Would be useful if I could play a whole webpage by adding an URL. VLC would parse the page for video URLs, and add them to the playlist. Now I am using Ruby 2.0 and Open-URI to provide this feature for myself by extracting the links, and the "system" command to start VLC with those parsed video URLs.

You could write a custom Lua script for this. Some kind of general web page parser could be really useful: if there is not a specific parser for an URL, then to try this general parser of web pages.
