I have the VLC streaming, but I want to know how to make it stream a playlist so I don't have to keep going to the server to set it up again.
My first attempt was when I created a playlist file after compiling one in the player, selected stream after I restarted the program and used the playlist file as the file to read upon opening. I selected the http option and the stream started, however, when I moved forward to the next video, the stream stopped. I attempted to connect back from the client to the server and it didn't pick anything up, what gives here what is going on and how do I get the server to play files in sequence through the same connection so I don't have to restart the clients.
I know the instructions are for Windows but perhaps this page will help you to gain the understanding how to stream w/o having to keep restarting your client. https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentat...ewer_Versions/
