[plug] IPTV Linux server software

[William Kenworthy]

VLC?

We had some students that put together a system suited to a motel or
similar.  From memory (was a year or so back) the VLC server ran on
redhat, used mysql and a frontend written in C++ to control selection on
the server.  Not sure about playback, but probably used the standard vlc
player (cross platform)

They didnt seem to run into too many problems from memory.
