UnPlug Help
Web Streams Dialog

This box lets you play to and/or save strems with VLC media player. Just select the media format and what you want to do with it.

If you are saving the link, you can select "Save All Streams" to save all the data being sent, including audio commentry or alternative languages, if they're included.

Select "Quit when VLC is complete" to automatically quit vlc when it is finished playing the link. Some links will play forever, so will never quit (unless you close vlc yourself). If vlc can't play the link, it may just quit without giving an error if you have this option turned on.

You can also save and play in different players. This is handy because you can pause or stop the media player which plays the video, while continuing to record. This may not work if you have set VLC to always play in a single player. (You may be able to fix this by setting extensions.cn_unplug.prog_vlc_one_instance to true in firefox's about:config).
