The VLC said it can play VCD and It can streaming the video from the internet. But.....
In the VLC I did tried to click Media - Open disc - click SVCD/VCD. Set Disc device to /dev/cdrom. And play. Not working.
In the VLC I clicked Media - Open Network Stream - Copied the address of the video streaming website and play. Not working.

Anyone can help how to do it ?
Thanks in advance
