Attached is a zip file for a plugin called VLCPlay which is only
suiotable for Windows and for SBS 7.5 (possibly 7.4).  It sort of works
with faked tests but it needs testing with real h/w.

It is to be manually installed in the
ProgramFiles\Squeezebox\server\Plugins directory.

Check the custom-convert.conf file for your vlc dvb command.  The sout
is set up to output a raw WAV stream (i.e. PCM) to be fed into lame or
flac depending on SBS user choice.  If you have vlc transcoding from an
video/audio stream some changes may be necessary.

You need to restart SBS to get it loaded and you should have VLCPlay
entries in  the Plugins tab of WebUI Settings/Advanced and also in
WebUI Settings/Filetypes  you should have VLC entries.

To play a stream - in Favorites create an URL such as
vlc://12345678&dvbprogram=abcdefg&Title=Title
text&Subtitle=Subtitletext

Using the custom-convert lines as a template - the value between "//"
and "&" is substituted into the dvb frequency parameter.  The value
after dvbprogram is substitued into the "dvb-prog" value.  The Title
and Subtitle values are metadata shown on SB players when stream is
ruynning. 

To debug - WebUI Settings/Advanced/loggin enable logging player.source
to DEBUG and plugin.vlcplay to DEBUG.

If this can be made to work for you I may modify the plugin so that the
vlc part of custom-convert can be changed in settings to avoid reboots
to test vlc changes.

Separately, in batch files running vlc if the last item to be played is
*vlc://quit* vlc will exit.
