I think it would be much easier to implement a loop into the player to 
check if the client is to be disconnected.
In fact, i have a login/pass system to authenticate a user with php/mysl, i 
can easily record in the database the wish to disconnect a user , and check 
every 5 minutes with the vlc client in this database if the user is to be 
disconnected.

But this solution is not the best to my eyes because i have to modify the 
player again, and looping is not my preference.

Maybe the IP firewall is the solution, but a bit compplicated to interface 
with the database.

thanx for your answer.
