Is this possible somehow? I mean, what I would like to do is to be able to give a video a START and END date(time), so that I can somehow construct a tv-like schedule.
If not, how could this be achieved programmatically? Hints?

Well, you can set the start date in the MediaCore admin itself. Also in the DB there is 'publish_until' (media table) which you can set using a Python script.
hope that helps
Currently you can set the start date, but you can't set the end date. This is something we may add at some point, but isn't a top priority at the moment.
OK. Thanks. If I were to try and implement this myself, would it be better as a plugin, or would it be more recommendable in the core itself? I really need this for a project at work, so I'm going to have to add it somehow, and I would be very happy to make a contribution if I can.
Cheers and thanks for MediaCore! :)
I'd recommend forking mediacore to do this — writing this feature as a plugin would be more difficult (although it's doable).
You can still keep up with all the latest updates if you use git, it'll be worth it in the long run! Otherwise you can use a diff program to keep track of your changes, and reapply them as we release new patches. This is what git does best though. See help.github.com
