It just displays "udp://127.0.0.1:5000" in the Title.

It does, but there's no ability to control which app is used.
This was also confirmed by silicondust support in a roundabout way, at
least. They said there's no ability to configure which app is used.
It appears to me that it's hardcoded/compiled into the HDHomeRun app.
strings and strace on a running binary appears to confirm this.
Oh, I've also now looked at the fedora SRPM and see that it's hardcoded:
$ grep -r vlc *
src/Viewer.cpp: ExeName = "vlc";
src/Viewer.cpp: OSStatus appStatus =
LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("org.videolan.vlc"),
NULL, NULL, &appURL);
src/Viewer.cpp: g_string_sprintf(DebugPrefix, "%08lX-%u vlc:", (unsigned
long)Dev->DeviceID, Dev->TunerIndex);
I also tried to follow the instructions on starting vlc first from the
command-line, so I can later try it with smplayer, but couldn't get it to
work:

Thanks,
