Hello!
Im try to set m3u8 playlist file for VLC, but I lack one feature.
If it possible, how i can set the date and time (day of week) limits for play the playlist on VLC automatically?
For example i mean functional as in Video Kiosk for Android Image.
I need the same settings for automatically playlist on Raspberry PI.
Thank you!

No. I don't know where use this command. However i need start playlist automatically with preset schedule with days of week, start/end date and start/end time. Is there such an opportunity?

I don't know, but you should be able to achieve what you want with a short shell script.
