vlc wouldnt run using path to C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe Dont know why, maybe its permissions, maybe space between program and files. Whatever.

Just copied entire vlc folder to c:\programs folder, change path in addon to C:\Programy\VLC\vlc.exe without quotes! done just that and now it works in both firefox and chrome. you're welcome.

EDIT: works even better with potplayer! just switch path from vlc to pot and works.

I just C:\Program Files\VLC Plus Player\vlc.exe as path and works fine. So maybe a permission issue.
