So here's the idea I have. I'd like to be able to set up VLC on a server here at my school (Carroll University) as a means of setting up a school tv station. It's a smaller school that doesn't have anything like the sort, so this would be a huge deal for a lot of students if I can get it setup correctly.
What I've done so far is just played around with some RTP streaming and I like what I see. With 0.8.6i I was able to stream DVDs with excellent quality as well, but now with 0.9.4 my computer doesn't seem to want to, but that is beside the main point.
What I'm looking for is the ability to dynamically manipulate a playlist that VLC streams. I've been looking around and it seems like there may be a way to do this but I haven't been able to say 100% if it is possible. This way we (the admins of the station) will be able to insert a new commercial into rotation, adjust shows and have all the control we'd need over the station.
Any recommendations or advice is welcome, thanks in advance!
