Add files from a network location in VLC
You have at least three options:
-
Browse to
~/.gvfs
Your network drive is mounted in your home directory in the hidden directory
~/.gvfs
. You can browse there with the file browser from VLC or enter the appropriate path in the Add Files dialogue. -
Will help you to mount your network directory to your home. By this any application will be able to access it (see also this answer).
-
ushare .
Installs an UPnP server on the media server. VLC and other players are able to read files from there (the GUI stream2ip helps you to set it up)

I'm trying to add several video files to my playlist in VLC Media Player. These files are located in a network location and the "Add Files" option displays only local file locations. I tried using the IP address of device but that does nothing. Does anyone know how to do this?
