I'm trying to use VLC as my player so I can watch locally or cast to chromecast. The kodi streams tries to open in VLC but I am met with the error that says "The location (full https link) cannot be played". Also when I long press and hit play with... And choose video player or mx it still attempts to open in VLC. I have also attached my xml file contents.

xml:
