Is Play in VLC™ safe?
Play in VLC™ sends detected media URLs from webpages to its local native host when you choose to play them.
The extension records media element sources and audio or video XMLHttpRequest URLs on pages it can access. When you click the toolbar button or the Play in VLC context menu, it sends the selected URLs to the emano.waldeck native host, which writes a temporary playlist and opens it in VLC.
