How to stream videos from seedbox on VLC

Seedbox, one of the best and safest ways to interact with torrents is not limited to just downloading/uploading torrent files. Seedboxes were initially created with that purpose, but over years companies have added functionalities to them.

These functionalities include applications, remote management, sharing files, folder sync, etc. and amongst them, the most prominent one is streaming of files.

Streaming helps make a simple seedbox into a remote media server. There are inbuilt applications like plex, emby, and jellyfin to stream videos, but did you know that you can stream videos in your VLC media player too?

In this article, I will show you how you can stream videos from Seedbox using a VLC media player.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, so let’s move ahead.
