Description
If i follow links to i.imgur.com when the 'video> use external player'option is enabled, and 'photos>internal viewer' enabled, vlc isn't opening for videos hosted there, i get the openGL rendered still thumbnail image.
When accessing the link to imgur's horrific site in a chromium based browser, the video [mp4 if the longclick-download option is anything to go on] plays just fine.
I'll accept 'imgur made 3rd party access impossible' as an answer. They've historically been enemies of an open Internet.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening an i.imgur.com video with “use external player” and “internal viewer” enabled, then compare the behavior with the Chromium result and the long-click download behavior. Done means videos hosted on i.imgur.com are no longer handled as still image thumbnails and the configured external player can open them.
