Network playlist

ShyLion · Postby **ShyLion** » 01 Dec 2015 06:36

Hello.
I've got a network hosted playlist

http://someserver.somedomain.com/pl/?param=value&param2=value&etc

, containing UDP multicast entries, like

udp://@239.123.123.1:1234

.
How do i pass it to VLC?
I can put any content into playlist itself (it's actually PHP script).
What i want is to see list of channels and play them using VLC.

Specifying channel alone works fine, VLC nicely plays multicast stream in my environment,

Worked around like this:

Code: Select all

# cat /var/www/html/ipad.html
<HTML>
<BODY>
<A HREF="vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=udp%3A%2F%2F%40239.123.123.1%3A1234">Play UDP</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I open this page in Safari, tap on the link and it asks to play it in VLC and if i agree it start playing.
Any way to prevent it asking?

Yes, you can add a no-questions-asked argument to the URL. See https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... llback-url

Thank you, it worked.
Still, it's a workaround. Support for network playlist would be nice.

I absolutely agree, but this won't be part of the next major release.

Ever tried to use a m3u?
Much simpler to create.

Works basically, but with more than one entry in the m3u VLC for iOS does not yet support to switch to the next item, like VLC for Desktop is down it.
