  I would solve that problem using MPEG DASH or Apple HLS.

MPEG DASH makes it pretty easy to specify a string of media files and
when they start airing.  it also supports re-loading the manifest
(MPD) to pick up new <Period>s.

I don't know if VLC's implementation of DASH has been expanded to
support those features of the spec, but it is probably easier than
securing a LUA environment.
