How can play a P2P video with VLC?

VLC doesn't support P2P videos of this type. In theory, it is possible to create a plugin or HTTP proxy that can enable P2P videos for VLC.

Thanks, Can you give me more detail about HTTP proxy ?

You can create a proxy between your video player and your stream which intercepts network requests and proxies them through a P2P network.

It is how similar paid P2P solutions work on Android and iOS devices using native players.

You can use this approach for VLC player.
