Re: Strange things we notice around our computers...
VLC does open media links. It opens videos on my phone. Can set it like that on my PC too. But then I have a modern PC

Re: Strange things we notice around our computers...
I would imagine so. It would allow streaming from a NAS on your local network or another device set up in a local network.

Re: Strange things we notice around our computers...
Don't come to Scotland then. We can form sentences with just swear words  sometimes bad words can be complimentary as well here.
