VLC for Android app (also the iPhone app) can open online links containing videos. They can be direct HTTP links to connect to .MP4 videos. Or they can be links to YouTube and other video hosting and sharing websites. Playing YouTube videos works perfectly with VLC for Android. But it is a hit or a miss with other video sites like DailyMotion, Vimeo, and Break. To open such HTTP or other media links, we use the Open MRL feature in the VLC app. This feature is accessible from the menu. Once you click Open MRL, you can input YouTube links or direct links to video hosted at online addresses. This expands the horizon of VLC for Android as a local video/audio player. Meaning, you can open media stored in your phone’s storage as well as online web addresses. It shows how dynamic and feature-rich this free application is.
