There used to be a KIO module for VLC here: https://github.com/sandsmark/vlc-kio/commits/master It was never finished, therefore never merged. It is not hard to do though. > 6.

Please not also that VLC 3.0 has a kwallet module to store securely the passwords: https://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/keystore/kwallet.c;hb=HEAD -- Jean-Baptiste Kempf - President +33 672 704 734
