Hi all.
I'm looking for some software that will run on Windoze 7, that will allow me to schedule playback of video files.
Currently, I use VLC media-player, and a HUGE 330 hour playlist that simply repeats when complete. The output of this, is the program material for our internal village channel for the residents.
Currently, VLC just plays the videos one after another, and they are all at random.
Residents have asked if there can be a schedule similar to any other TV channel, where they would know when to tune in for a certain program. The actual chosen program would sill be random, it's just that at a certain time, they would know that THIS particular program will be showing an episode if you see what I am getting at.
If anyone knows of any playback software like this, I would be very interested. The residents association are prepared to pay for a software that can do this, so I am not necessarily looking for freeware, but naturally, that would be the ideal solution.
Happy enough to look at upgrading the PC to run W10, or even more ideally - LINUX....so long as there is a Linux software that can do this.
