Key Features: A video playlist builder with a scheduling interface that has duration and a real time clock using drop and drag File Explorer with and insert/delte functions and it also has randomization and in addition to that, you can load and export playlists that already exist. It generates a clean M3U (text) relative path playlist.
This is a project to build a playlist builder similar to Playlist Creator 3.6 but with some additions and changes, I just say that because I was using 3.6, and Audacious before, but I was missing stuff, I needed duration and time clock and other options and then other simplifications In other words, this isn't triggering by any clock this is just a regular text M3U output to M3U file and you can also import the M3U file But yeah this is a code that me and Gemini made, and I'm happy with it, It's all drop and drag, you open File Explorer and you throw them in If you hit the nuke button it scrambles it and it's all pretty self explanatory but yes this allows you to build a 24 hour playlist (or more) Its stacking like you can do in any builder frankly,
But this gives you a duration and the projected time, assuming you start your playlist the same every day, which you can do on Linux with K alarm or on Windows task scheduler and so yeah it's not meant to display anything in real time such as on air, it's not meant to test files to check even if the files exists, I assume they exist if you're throwing them in, This is a relative path builder so this if your videos on the D drive so to speak, Your playlist would have to be at the root of the D drive for the folders on the D drive it's not an absolute path builder, I may have to publish a second version for an absolute path builder, but this is the beta version in testing although it's beyond beta at this point, but yeah I'm going to wrap it up in a Windows executable, because it's Python Code, and then I'll post it here but this was created for the the Christ video, Christ Video is a Roku channel and a web stream that plays a 50/50 mix of Jesus movies and CCM programs yeah so it's got quite the mix and yeah I mean in the process of building a front end for it which we'll go into here later.
Software: the main version BB or X9 is REALITIVE FILE PATH ONLY for lists generated, absolute file path X10 coming soon if you see it, its done - Windows stand alone excutable no install needed
The Station Logger (by Vistronic) is a lightweight Lua extension designed to turn VLC into a professional broadcast monitoring tool by automatically generating a continuous "As-Air" log. Once installed, it silently tracks every track or clip played in VLC, timestamping each entry into a simple, permanent text file. This provides a reliable, chronological record for licensing compliance, advertiser verification, or internal archiving without requiring any manual input from the operator. It’s the essential set-it-and-forget-it solution for maintaining an accurate station history. As the logger requires the user to hit view and start it I wrote a script for Linux to do this AUTO as I change my playlists at midnight this is a separate file you will find in there. The same could be done for windows but my sever is Linux lite.
