Is there any way at all to get VLC to either automatically restart the stream/transcode or quit so it can be restarted as a service? If there isn't - is there a way to test if VLC is transcoding, and if it isn't, kill it somehow? I've tried VLM, Command like with vlc://quit at the end, telnet - I'm ...

So, there is no way to quit VLC when a stream ends?

Per my example above @Remi - it is, and it doesn't quit.
Am I formatting it incorrectly?

You have a solution @EduardoP ?

Per Remi's suggestion - I've stopped using a VLM, but VLC does exactly the same thing. Surely it's not impossible to get VLC to quit when it has given up streaming?

VLC is being started with /usr/bin/vlc -I telnet --telnet-password=${PASSWORD} --telnet-port=${PORT} --drop-late-frames --skip-frames --play-and-exit --no-daemon --adaptive-logic=${VLC_...

As an aside - if anybody has any working Mosaic examples that work with 3.0.11 - I'd appreciate it, I suspect Mosaic doesn't work under 3.0.11?
