You're right: I never had to try this action before but it doesn't work with VLC on my device neither.
It must be something special with VLC. Let's ask @MacroDroidDev
Did you try using an intent instead?
Thanks for testing.
How can I launch it with an intent ? I've never used an intent before.
Thanks
Here is the syntax below.
The data field contains your video url (such as storage/emulated/0/your_path/your_filename).
Unfortunately when testing I get the following error message "The location « fd://75 » cannot be read", whatever the file url... Is it due to my device? Try it on your side.

You're right. The syntax I gave you was correct. The issue I had came from the video file I used to check the Intent was corrupted...With this configuration works.
Thanks
To check the correct syntax I also used the VLC site but, in the data field of the MD intent action, the word file:// is not mandatory and /absolute_path_file/filename is enough.the path must start with file://

It's the reason why it worked for @tomeu.
