The stream has ended now. I'm editing the comment to provide guidance for the next time that someone wants to watch a SpaceX stream via VLC:
Get the URL by going to the Twitter feed (e.g. via spacex.com/launches if you don't want to search for it) and extract the appropriate URL using the network traffic developer tools of your browser. It might be hosted on pscp.tv, the domain of the old Periscope live video streaming service that Twitter took over some years ago.
Playing this stream with VLC:
VLC -> Media -> Open Network Stream (Ctrl+N) -> Network -> "Please enter a network URL:" -> <insert URL here>

- verticalscaler 2y agoIt slowed down sufficiently and hovered for a moment before splashing down. That was the point of the test. In the future they'll try catching it.

- kirksidlo 2y agoCorrection: Gulf of Mexico for the booster. Indian Ocean for the upper stage.
