Add optionto auto play in VLC

[jeroenev]

VLC is good at playing yt video's, the quality is much better than the website/WebTube, you cam't browse youtube with it, only play video's if you got the URL

I want to have youtube recommendations, which is why i use webtube (instead of NewPipe, which is also great but lacks proper recommendations/subscriptions)

So it would be great if we had the option to set webtube to automatically open VLC if we click to play a video

Hmm. Both are in NP

I doubt it's possible without serious rewrite as WT is using YT web page to show videos

@ildar newpipe has subscriptions and a "trending" page, but I see nothing in there that resembles the youtube homepage with recommended video's

As for requirement code wise, it already works if I manually share the video with the VLC app, I really don't think a rewrite is needed to automate this

You can use "youtube stream" from fdroid for that.
Or copy-paste the youtube link into the stream section of VLC
