Using Telnet(?) to stop saving a stream to a file
Posted: 14 Dec 2005 14:52
Hello,
I have a streaming server which uses VLC to stream a encoded (ASF,WMV2) signal from a video-card to the net (mms-protocol).
This setup runs great, I can watch the stream with both the VLC and the Windows Media Player.
Now I would like to save parts of the stream into files (which manually works great, too). Im writing a VB.NET programm whicch should control this process: Starting and stoping a VLC-instance, which receives the stream and saves it into the files.
Of course I can start VLC through command line with those parameters, but my main problem is to stop VLC from recording!
If I kill the VLC process, I can watch the video, but the timeline doesnt work, so I cant go forwards or backwards when watching his video file.
So my goal is to stop VLC savely, so that the writen file is "correct" in that way, that the timeline works!
So my question is:
Can I stop the VLC streamrecording through the telnet-interface?
Or is this only possible, if I also started this recording through the telnet-interface? If so, can I start this recording over telnet-cli?
Thanks for your help!
