New Command line option Functionality

- Example procaster.exe

Auto GoLive

If a user wants to automatically go live on channel page he could execute this:

procaster.exe -username=hans -password=SomePassword -channel=piet –autogolive

If you already set this up in procaster he can just do:

procaster.exe –autogolive

This allows the user to make a task in a scheduler to automatically go live at a scheduled time/date.
