My question is what are the major obstacles preventing the creation of a plugin that can generate and utilize playlists consisting of video and audio which exist on a server or device?

&nbsp;

Is there a relatively simple way to play content on a server or device?

&nbsp;

Is this something that I could conceivably create or is it just a waste of time to even think about it?

Thanks.
