Welcome to the RetoTV Wiki. This is the main source for all your RetroTV inquiries.

== Introduction ==
RetroTV is a project that didn’t appear to exist: the goal is to run a fully automated TV station with virtually zero knowledge. The project depends on open source tools and technologies and is just a hub linking all these things together. Its not the goal to make the most elaborate, flexible and dynamic programming system on earth; it aims for straight and easy streaming, no questions asked.

== End user goals ==
Running a fully automated TV station (streaming) will be straightforward. Only this:

  • Add content files (bumpers, shows, commercials)
  • Specify what show airs at what time
  • Run the “create playlist” command

== Technologies used ==

  • Creating playlists: PHP
  • Storing show-states: SQLLITE
  • Playlists: XSPF
  • Streaming: VLC
