Use this, as Taifun says:

Action
android.intent.action.VIEW

ActivityPackage
org.videolan.vlc.gui.
ActivityClass
org.videolan.vlc/.gui.MainActivity

The way to figure this out is the launch VLC by hand and then look in the android log to see what intent was broadcast.   It look like you got it right except for switching ActivityClass and ActivityPackage
