We'll be updating our VoD support within MistServer, which has been quite neglected for several years. We'd like to take a moment to express our thanks to NLnet and their great initiatives and funding open source projects. We're big fans of the initiative to guarantee the next generation of internet to be accsessible and open to anyone.
