The english link
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/

an another solution is the extension " media player connectivity ". It gives you more advanced options but "open with" is more simple.

Thanks a lot for the tip but it doesn't work alone. VLC cannot do anything with a magnet-link alone.
How to make VLC play a torrent stream directly please ?

hello , it's working good, but perhaps you don't understand that it work with the link generated by peerflix just after the submit process, not directly a magnet link or torrent link.
Without the process to get your the link from your server , it's not working.
1 - paste your magnet or torrent link in the input
2- submit to get your link avi etc with your server
3- On right clik from this link, choose to open with your vlc, or smplayer, or mpv (the best).
After that if you have any problems for reading the flux , test with another player (smplayer or mpv).

I am trying to hunt down the guy who made this extension so I can learn how to set it up for html5...Don't suppose you could help? I'm not exactly a developer, or used to git hub in general.
