I think this feature should be very useful...

...Near-VideoOnDemand (NVoD) is playing continuosly the same film on several channels with a starting time offset of about 30 minutes.

To do this in VLS, we need timers (cyclic or not) to start playing movies/files at needed time and so on.

Every timer should launch a simple command like 'play ....'.

So, it's not so hard to implement, isn't?

Well, this function part of one of our projects called manager... (hope we'll finish it one day ;-)

in the meantime, a simple netcat on the telnet interface, in the cron (or usinf atd) should do the trick...
