Is it even possible right now?\r\n\r\n### Expected / Actual behavior\r\n\r\nDocumentation for streaming through a browser could be helpful, unless it's not currently possible in which case the readme is misleading.\r\n\r\n### Comments, screenshots, etc.\r\n\r\nI think this was possible with VLC and Chrome a few years ago, before Google ended support for NPAPI plugins and killed the VLC Chrome extensions, but after Googling for a few hours I wasn't able to find any current alternative.

I would consider that functionality dead at this point @BullHorn7 and we should update the documentation to remove that note."}}
