Yes I can give VLC the URL of the file location, but I would like to
have VLC present a directory list and the be able to select the file,
If I am on the local machine where the files reside it is not a problem
but if I am going to the server as a remote machine then I can not use
the directory function in VLC. I was hoping to use the web browser so
as not to have to go in and mount the remote file system in order to
browse it.
