If i follow links to i.imgur.com when the 'video> use external player'option is enabled, and 'photos>internal viewer' enabled, vlc isn't opening for videos hosted there, i get the openGL rendered still thumbnail image.
When accessing the link to imgur's horrific site in a chromium based browser, the video [mp4 if the longclick-download option is anything to go on] plays just fine.
I'll accept 'imgur made 3rd party access impossible' as an answer. They've historically been enemies of an open Internet.
