https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
(one of the best open sourced software)
It will allow URLS from vidzi, dailymotion etc. to play, also install mpv media player, have the youtbue-dl.exe and the mpv.exe into the same dir and add to path environment, as for linux brethren, you know the score, just add path to mpv instead of vlc. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ariel, 7 years agoIt works great and have no complains, but I'm gonna throw a suggestion out there. VLC is terrible for playing http / hls / mpd content. I mean really terrible, you pause the video and when you resume it will just stop and wont remember las playback position, it wont cache content properly, etc. I started using mplayer derivates and now Im really happy (smplayer, potplayer) but I can't use this extension. I use one that is called videodownloadhelper, copy the link, and paste it on the player. So anyhow, my sugestion is: create an extension that allows you to open this kind of media using whatever program you want. Another thing ist that using just the url allows is closing the browser, and the playback wont stop, I don't know if that's a browser limitation or by design.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Marty, 7 years agoWorks good. Any chance for dailymotion support? VLC recognizes their urls and plays videos the same as youtube.
Edit: there's no plugin, it works the same way as youtube with a dailymotion.luac file. The only thing your addon would need to do is recognize the urls on its page and then add it to the playlist. I will file a request on FAQs page.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou must have installed a plugin then, right? Please open a discussion in the FAQs page for this feature request - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13311334, 7 years ago
