About path escapping: the provided path are escapped once for YAML, a second time for the "CMD"
generated by Docker, and third for VLC. So you have to put 4 \ to get single \ in the final path,
and 16 \ to get a double for a network share / domain DFS (i.e. \\\\ => \ and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ => \\).

Usually when running a Windows container, we need it to integrates with other servers and network infrastructure. If you have an active directory (AD), it's pretty easy to give a valid network identity to your container. You can find more info here and here.
A crawler is running every day to check if a new release of VLC is avaible on here and automatically build a new docker image for it.
Here are the status of this crawler: crawler
