How save video segment of X minute and jpg shot every Y seconds from multiple live rtsp streamings

[aimaicai]

Hi, I'm starting to use vlm from few days, I've searched everywhere but I wasn't able to find a recent solution to my problems. I have a lot of broadcast setted up on my vlm configuration file, every of them is fed up with an rtsp stream coming from a live ip camera.
My question is how can I set up vlm to achieve my task?
-I have to save the live video in files of X minute each (for example 1 minute);
-I have to save jpg shot every Y seconds (for example 5 seconds);
-It is better if I can name the files with date, but could be sufficient if I will can use different files.

For the jpg part I saw that there is a simple way to solve it Using a vlc stand alone process, but I would avoid it, for the video part instead I didn't find anything yet. I've tried to play with schedulers, without success, and maybe it's not the best way to do it.
Thank you.

you can use the scheduling function like this for the video part:

!!!always put the stop schedule first for each channel, so the last play will be valid on startup hence giving a good initial file.

this will create 15 minutes files with 2s gaps between

new sch_channelname_stop schedule enabled
setup sch_channelname_stop period 0/0/0-0:14:58
setup sch_channelname_stop append control channelname stop

new sch_channelname_play schedule enabled
setup sch_channelname_play period 0/0/0-0:15:00
setup sch_channelname_play append control channelname play

In your channel definition you can use date fromat strings in the output file name like: Channelanme-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.avi . so you will have a new file in every 15 minutes.

for jpeg part you can use the scene video filter, however I have not tried it in VLM mode
