VLM configuration for Multiple file/URL's or a playlist

[kfarooq]

I am using VLM-Config to broadcast channels but these channels keeps on going down time to time.
My current config is
new test broadcast enabled
setup test input "/home/user/temp.xspf"
setup test output #transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=24,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:http{mux=raw,dst=:8022/}
setup test option file-caching=300

control test play

but this not working.

Can anyone guide me. how can i make a playlist or run vlm-config with multiple URL's.

Regards

Hi,

I have the same issue, playlist is not activated via VLM, my ulitmate goal is to have the playlist in mosaic. The playlist is m3u
my vlm config is

del all
new channel1 broadcast enabled
setup channel1 input "file:///home/mahesh/mosaic/m3u"
setup channel1 output #transcode{vcodec=mpgv,vb=2500,fps=25,scale=1,acodec=mp2,ab=64,samplerate=44100}:display
control channel1 play

when i execute vlc, i get a playlist interface only but no video/audio

I am using vlc ver 2.0.5 on ubuntu 12.04LTS
