The major reason with the VLC is unable to initiate the MRL file error is due to Overprotective firewalls.

Firewalls can end up blocking the necessary portals needed by your VLC media player to stream the source successfully.

Windows Defender doesnt show any such problems for VLC media player.

So my advice is this:

Uninstall your Antivirus and also disable firewall for Windows Defender as well.

Try the Next Step instead.
