thewp Open VLC with selected file over SFTP 2018-04-19 20:50 Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my custom 'Open in VLC' command: cmd.exe /c "start vlc.exe "sftp://!U:!P@!@:!/!"" Options > Preferences > Commands. Add. Local Command. Check 'Use remote files'. Set to keyboard shortcut Ctrl+1 (a matter of preference). Edit: Don't forget to add your path to VLC to PATH in your System Environment Variables! Cheers!
