Sorry if this has been discussed before ( would like the links.)
Are there any VLC plug-ins? VLC of course plays all kinds of formats and would be a great step forward given that Plex does not support live transcoding, so some live streams will not play on PMS or remote client/browser. E.g. the raw cable TV stream, .ts and other files.
Seems common sense to me given VLC is all around and open source. Could also solve the Kodi no-one transcoding problem with the same plugin?
