Not sure to understand well
but the gem_videoVLC.dll I build using Microsoft C++ Express 2010 is
crashing at loading
see : https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/issues/64

Iohannes reported that it works on Windows with MinGW, that means you have
to build Gem and its plugins with MinGW.
You can't load a DLL build with MinGW with a binary build with Microsoft
compiler.

this is automatic, at startup Gem loads the plugins it found, if you have a
gem_videoVLC.dll near your Gem.dll it will be load,
then open a file like a regular file but give an URL as a path
I remember there are already some patchs that remonstrate this on the list,
or maybe on the Gem-dev list.

no it's not part of Pd-extended
and yes I think you have to build it from source
or ask somebody to share its binary (mine is crashing)
