vlc cannnot play links from soundcloud, vimeo and dailymotion (and I fear more of them). Youtube works.
soundcloud.luac and similar files are there. I have compiled multimedia/vlc with nearly all options on (except skins, smb, v4l).
Code: 
vlc -vvv https://soundcloud.com/whatever output:

lua demux warning: Error while running script /usr/local/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/soundcloud.luac, function parse(): lua/playlist/soundcloud.lua:51: attempt to concatenate global 'token' (a nil value)
(same message for dailymotion).

for vimeo
lua demux error: Couldn't extract vimeo video URL, please check for updates to this script
 
Thanks for the patch, but I still can't play the soundcloud stream.
Now without any error message.
It something to configure to be able streaming with vlc ?
 
It failed for soundcloud, vimeo and dailymotion (maybe more).
Youtube works. The urls work with mpv-player but also did not work with (s)mplayer.
I think the patch was okay. The reason for this seems something complete other, I have multimedia/vlc compiled with nearly all options on).
 
Well, I compiled vlc with these options.

It's worth rebuilding all vlc dependencies, before throwing in the towel.
 
vlc definite do not found the url. If I copy the url from the output of mpv -v it works.
(on linux vlc plays it normal).

Same behaviour with vimeo. vlc states:
Code: 
lua demux error: Couldn't extract vimeo video URL, please check for updates to this script

(Tried to copy the script from linux, but this changes also nothing).

No idea, what is working wrong.

Yes, the vimeo.lua script is outdated too.

This patch should fix it.
 
Thanks for the patch, but the file you patched does not exist. A vimeo.lua exists but looks different, and the patch dies not "fitting".

The "problem" is
https: //vimeo.com/ 13401029 (I had to write it with spaces, cause formatting make in this case nonsense).
and the working link from the mpv output, looks like:
https://06-lvl3-pdl.vimeocdn.com/01...xpires=1463046919&token=065c523f6e3d49bf92aae
or for soundcloud
original https://soundcloud.com/marioranieri/embrace-the-future-2016-livemix
and the working one
'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/259504846/download?client_id=02gUJC0hH2ct1EGOcYXQIzRFU91c72Ea'

and this is a big difference.

Just rename it as patch-share_lua_playlist_vimeo.lua and place it into /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc/files directory.

Finally, you need to rebuild multimedia/vlc.
 
Oh sorry, was my missunderstood.
But both patches changing anything.
The soundcloud link now without error message (but don't work).
The vimeo link with
Code: 
core demux meta debug: no meta reader modules matched
core input debug: `https://vimeo.com/13401029' successfully opened
lua demux error: Couldn't extract vimeo video URL, please check for updates to this script
 
I'm not sure why it fails in your case, please, post your vlc -vvv stream_url output.

Indeed, most of the lua playlist scripts need an update to use the new API.
 
Not some, all vimeo (and soundcloud and dailymotion...). Something is weird... I hope I find it.
 
Before I had never a look at this (Did not know I had look for this scripts on my own). Found some scripts which works. Thank you.
