title: Streaming a playlist using libvlc with Python
body: <p>I want to stream a complete playlist (m3u) using libvlc with Python.</p>
  
  <p>I was able to stream a single video using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>inst  = vlc.Instance()
  param=[
      "test.mp4"
      ,"sout=#rtp{dst=224.1.1.10,port=10100,mux=ts}"
      ]
  Media = inst.media_new(*param)
  player = Media.player_new_from_media()
  player.play()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is, it seems there is no way to pass options to a playlist. I tried to pass them when creating the vlc instance but that doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>inst  = vlc.Instance('--sout=#gather:rtp{dst=224.1.1.10,port=10100,mux=ts}')
  Media_list = inst.media_list_new(['test.m3u'])
  list_player = inst.media_list_player_new()
  list_player.set_media_list(Media_list)
  list_player.play()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same code works correctly when playing locally.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
