Overlapping schedules in VLM
Posted: 12 Sep 2013 22:25
Right now I'm trying to use VLC to stream video for a television channel. The ideal method would be if a web application could be made that controls VLC using the telnet interface or something of the like, and users can input schedule info into the web application.
The main issue is that let's say there are two programs scheduled to go on at different times. Therefore, two schedules are made in VLM for each of the two media. However, it's possible that the first media is still playing when it comes time for the second one to come on.
How does VLM handle broadcasts that have overlapping outputs. Is there any way to have VLM automatically stop the other broadcasts and seamlessly transition into the next one?
