VLM scheduled recording problem (does not start but ends)

[kirpal]

Hello!

Please correct me, what am I doing wrong. I start vlc with telnet interface and copy/paste these configs.

Config 1:
new record1 broadcast enabled input http://10.2.0.200:8081 output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=c:\temp\record1.mpg}
new record1_start schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:30 append control record1 play
new record1_end schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:45 append control record1stop

This config ignores line 2 (even nothing in debug messages), however line 3 works, it stops a record (which never started)

Config 2:
new record1 broadcast enabled input http://10.2.0.200:8081 output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=c:\temp\record1.mpg}
new record1_end schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:45 append control record1stop
new record1_start schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:30 append control record1 play

Works as expected. I was happy, but not for long;

Config 3:

new record1 broadcast enabled input http://10.2.0.200:8081 output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=c:\temp\record1.mpg}
new record1_end schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:45 append control record1stop
new record1_start schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:30 append control record1 play
new record2 broadcast enabled input http://10.2.0.200:8081 output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=c:\temp\record2.mpg}
new record2_end schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:55 append control record2stop
new record2_start schedule enabled date 2011/02/21-16:09:40 append control record2 play

With config 3 this is happening:

16:09:30 is ignored
16:09:40 both streams start recording
16:09:55 record2 stops recording.
record1 keeps recording until I send "control record1 stop" command to a telnet interface or shutdown vlc.

What am I doing wrong?

The goal is to record stream from source 10.2.68.200:8081 by schedule:
on day Feb 23 2011 from 20:55:00 until 21:35:00 and from 21:30:00 until 22:00:00 (yes, with overlap) to the separate files.

Times and dates for example.

VLC 1.1.7, Win XP 32 bit SP3.

A bit late, but anyway.. You have a syntax error in your config.. "record1stop" should be "record1 stop" (delimited by a blank).
