Sometims I’m watching live events on websites that have an embedded flash video player.
Is it possible to take the stream to a native player such as VLC?
If so, what would be the steps?

Clicking the resource will show the Full URL under the Location section of the resource inspector. This URL can be added in VLC.
Note that some URLs won't be able to be played in VLC due to licensing restrictions.
If you have the source URL, then you can stream it with VLC.
