I was working to get VLC integrated with my Home Assistant and video cameras and chromecast, using VLM and VOD and...

main debug: creating VLM
main debug: loading VLM configuration
main debug: load c:\users\watch\desktop\Test2.vlm
main: VoD support will be removed from the VLM in the next major version of VLC.

So... no more video on demand anywhere? Is it moving? The documentation that I found doesn't speak to this, but I do not want to put work into using it and need a new product later.

VOD is what I need to, on demand, put up a mosaic of camera images, right? So it will sit ready, and when requested be available? I'm not trying to broadcast 24x7.

Or am I thinking of it incorrectly?

What's the story on VOD's demise?

No more "vod" media type in VLM.

Is it moving?

No, it is removed.

VOD is what I need to, on demand, put up a mosaic of camera images, right?

No, that's normally done with the broadcast media type or with HLS.

What's the story on VOD's demise?

It never went beyond proof-of-concept, is not soundly designed and has been essentially unmaintained for most of its lifetime.

I'll work with it on broadcast and see how that goes, thank you.
