I'm not understanding why => VLC => "Open Directory..." is not doing
that for you already. If you've already tried that and it failed -
please try it again using the cli (see further down this post for
example) and post the output.
In KDE with Dolphin - right-click on the directory, choose "Other..."
from the "Open with..." drop-down, select "VLC" from the list (beneath
"Multimedia"), select "Remember application association for this type of
file" => "OK".
(The above is best done with the hot keys)
>From then on it'll be the first option in the "Open with" right-click
sub-menu. (hot key is V)

No worries - just substitute "sudo" for "su"
Doesn't matter how you become root.
NOTE: the answers are to your questions - with the hope that others may
use them.
