Get an url music stream to your favorite player using klipper actions.

I normally use different browsers. Some of them don't handle well some types of urls for radio stations, so I had to copy the url and feed it to a player using the command line.

I got tired of doing it, so I configured an action on klipper to allow me to send the copied url directly to the player.

The action is as simple as 

"vlc  %s"

under the http filter, inside klipper settings > actions

Now I don't depend on the browser to launch the music stream on the player I want.
