browser-plugin 'open in standalone VLC player' feature

while whatching embedded streams in webpages, often i wish to have a little more controll over the playback, which is not possible in the browser-plugin.
espcially in cases where the connection dies this is very anoying, since after restarting you can't skip to the location where you were before the connection dropped.

at the moment i have to anayse network traffic

Code: Select all

sudo tcpdump -s0 -A | grep mms
(or simlair) to obtain the url for certain streams, which i can open in VLC.

a simple right-click in the browser-plugin/player would be great:
right-click in plugin-view > option "open in standalone player"
