[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 876492, member: 110423"] No VLC can not record. I suppose etsmc wants to use the TV Client because its a more desktop like application. Especially in a school there is no remote and people want to use the mouse to navigate. A possibility could be to address the streams directly. So you could create intranet frontend with links to vlc with the stream attached by parameters or you could use program shortcuts to start vlc directly with some program but than you can't see epg data or something like this.
