Stream Vimeo & YouTube
Updated the documentation with instructions to stream Vimeo & YouTube videos. VidPlayer Documentation - Google Docs

Any idea if you will support direct YouTube playback in the future without needing to grab the source through VLC like the docs current show? Maybe some way through the YouTube embed URI?

There is a code plug-in on the marketplace which grabs the YouTube link, my guess it does that what the VidPlayer documentation outlines automatically. Perhaps, there will be an update later this year for VidPlayer when I can figure out how to retrieve that URL via blueprints.
