[vlc] web browser intent for Android

[David Marsden]

Hi,

I?m a web developer. I?d like to be able to open links directly in VLC from a website. I can understand roughly how this works but I can?t get the syntax.

From what I can see VLC for Android should support intents.

And from what I can see on Google?s pages, is that the Browser can open intents from URLs in an anchor tag.

I?ve been trying for a few hours now to just open a http stream but can?t get it to open VLC.

Could someone be extremely kind and write an example url that I would need to put in to a the href of an <a> tag to open a simple mp3 stream?

Once I have the format right I can create my own from there.

Thanks very much,

DMx
