VLM saving settings

Hi everyone:)
I'm setting server that is supposed to playout multicasts. VLM seems perfect for this purpose however I'm struggling with one thing - it will be used by multiple users that don't want to write in command lines. vlm.http looks really nice but it doesn't save settings. If I set multiple streams it works, until restart of VLC. Is it possible for VLM to save settings?
Thank you for any help:)
Edit:
I've forgot to add: I'm using vlc on CentOs.

Anyone?
Maybe if automatic saving settings is not possible, I could do some kind of button that would manually save settings. However still loading settings after restart should be automatic.

You can export the vlm files.

Unfortunately when I try to manually export it I get this error:
Error loading /vlm_export.html
[string "/usr/share/vlc/lua/http/vlm_export.html"]:8: attempt to index field 'vlm' (a function value)

I've made a little script that connects by telnet and save settings, maybe someone can use it in the future (as I've just realized that vlc doesn't support KLV...).
It also adds "control broadcastname play" to the end of file so it will automatically play after reboot.
Code: Select all
#! /home/user
NOW=$(date +" %M:%H %d-%m-%y")
mv "/home/user/Settings/vlm.vlm" "/home/user/Settings/vlm.vlm$NOW"
{
sleep 1s
echo admin
sleep 2s
echo save /home/user/vlm.vlm
sleep 2s
echo quit
} | telnet localhost 4212
sed -n 's/new \(.*\) broadcast enabled loop/\1/p' /home/user/vlm.vlm > /home/user/temp.temp
while read line;
do
echo control $line play >> /home/user/vlm.vlm
done < /home/user/temp.temp
rm /home/user/temp.temp
mv /home/user/vlm.vlm "/home/user/Settings/vlm.vlm"
