Features & Capabilities

Hi, this little add-on will send the URL of the current tab to the standard VLC media player on your Raspberry Pi and start playing there. It will only produce sensible results when you send for example a youtube video.

It is a very convenient way to watch/listen to youtube videos on your Raspberry Pi.

This is a first and very rough version. Proceed with care.

You may configure the address and port of your VLC media player in the preferences of the add-on. There is no additional software or plugins for VLC media player required.

On your VLC media player, you need to enable the HTTP interface and set a password. After you restart VLC media player, it will start a HTTP-server to listen at port 8080.

Hit the Play-Button in the address window of Firefox to sent the URL to VLC. At the first time Firefox asks you for the password. Leave the username blank. Firefox will open a new tab with some feedback from the VLC Player

Have fun Simon

Is VLCberry Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

VLCberry requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
