Media Schedule based on real time

Postby lomotbiz » 04 Jan 2013 02:15

I am new to VLC and need some assistance with this project if it is possible.
I want program a script that displays list (schedule) of media that will be played off my Playlist. The Schedule should display upcoming media and the time it will be shown. I was thinking of displaying the time the media will be shown in real-time. For example, an algorithm that that will retrieve the real-time off the computer, add the running-time of the media, and display when the media will end.

I want the schedule to be displayed at the beginning and the last minute of any media for 10 secs while the media is still playing. Have to figure out a way to shift the media frame to left to make room for the schedule GUI.

If a media stops playing due to an error. VLC should automatically skip the defected file and play the next functional file.

I have some media that are recorded at low volumes (sound is difficult to hear). Is there a way to script for VLC to automatically adjust sound level for media recorded at low volumes?

I think that some simpler version of this is possible to do as a VLC Extension Lua script. So far, only OSD (like subtitles) or external dialog box can be used for any output informations. You can try to combine time and playlist processing scripts lying around here.
