After installing native client from https://github.com/alexmarcoo/open-in-native-client/releases Open in VLC worked first time. Had to configure location of VLC.exe as I have 64 bit and add-on defaults to 32 bit location. Using on Daily Motion - excellent, thank you. A useful feature to add would be the ability to add playlists - currently using Open in VLC on a playlist link in Daily Motion just opens VLC.exe. And/or the option to add to vlc playlist.
