Open LAN files with URI

Is there a built in way to use a URI on a website to open up the android total commander and open the file through the lan plugin on my device?
I mostly want to watch videos on my phone streamed from my lan machine. Is there a URI like for example:
"total-commander://LAN//MYMACHINE/Share/video.mp4"
that I can use on my website?

No there isn't. The player only reports to support http, https and rtsp streams. It also supports m3u and m3u8 (UTF8) playlists, so maybe it works when you put the URLs in the form ///_LAN/MYMACHINE/Share/video.mp4 in a playlist and put it on a Web server?

Thanks.
My initial approach was m3u files but that came with so much headaches from the user point of view so that's why I started to look into URI protocols. The ///LAN (no underscore) works so I can basically use that.
All in all I will look into more experimenting with this one.
Thank you for your time and answer.

What problems did you encounter with m3u files?
