Hi all,

I am trying to set up a stream for my friends where I stream a lot of different content.
I am trying to find a free scheduling system, so I can schedule movies etc., and overlay text, time, "Next up" and so on.
I'd also like an "idle" video, so when nothing is playing the "idle" video plays.

I know livestream has this system, but I don't like to use it since you have to upload all the content to them in order to use it.

Is there anyone who knows something like this? Or maybe a media player which supports this?

Thanks!!

Jeff

Just out of curiosity, what will you be streaming?

I'm gonna be streaming some of this and that, mainly game footage and things like news (and a bit of our own news, we have some sort of clan consisting of close friends).

I'm not sure about all of that in 1 piece of software. VLC supports streaming, and you could setup a windows schdeule to run VLC with a specific url so that VLC starts with the selected playlist in the url.

Not sure if that will work, but it's definitely worth a shot. VLC is free...and awesome!

My name is Brian.

Yep, VLC is awesome. But not for what I want. The playlist option is too simple, shamefully.
