• Type "timestamp" in the Search field top left and then click "Input / Codecs".
• Scroll down to "Clock synchronization" near the bottom and set it to "Disable".

Okay I reuploaded the file to zippy. https://www29.zippyshare.com/v/cjxaSItt/file.html

So I write every step I do when I record:

- Open VLC, click Media -> Convert/Save
- Click Network tab, select the proper link for network URL. (https://stream.y5.hu:443/stream/stream_ ... tream.m3u8)
- Caching is set to default 1000ms, start and end times to 00:00, MRL is the same as network URL.
NOTE: I have tried previously setting up different start and end times, that doesn't solve the issue either, and every time it does something completely different. I was not able to find ANY consistency related to those 2 settings.
- Click Convert/ Save, new window opens
- Stream is the same as the network URL from prev. page
- Select Convert, I checkmark Display Output (so that I can also watch it in the meantime), and I choose custom MP4 profile.
NOTE: I have created an MP4 profile, that has video and audio codecs set to original feed, because I don't care about file size, I only care about quality to be max, or as close to original as it's humanly possible. Plus, I will have to do some post processing cuts with Sony Vegas Pro 18 anyway.
- I select an output file, remove the extension (.xspf or m3u8 in some cases) it puts at the end of the file name, because it corrupts the output file.
- Click Start.

So I start recording at 20:10 CEST, because programme starts at 20:13 CEST and I like to have a couple of minutes of leeway, and it ends at roughly 22:45 CEST. Which, because the stream is for some goddamn reason has a timestamp with +2 hours, we hit 00:00 at 22:00 CEST.

BTW: Up until midnight recording, the output mp4 file plays properly, it just gets cut there.

1. Open vlc and hit Ctrl + N to open the Network URL field and paste the streaming link.
2. Click Stream (instead of Convert) and then click Next. You can also hit Alt + S which does the same thing.
3. Leave it as "File" and click Add.
4. Browse to where you want to save the stream to and give it a name.
5. Click "Save" which adds the path to the file name you chose into the next menu.
6. Click Next and for the Profile select "Video - H.265 + MP3 (MP4)" and make sure "Activate transcoding" is checkmarked.
7. Finally, click Stream.

Okay. But when I registered to that website, it forces me to use 2FA, and I don't want to download another spy and bloatware on my phone. How can I get around this issue?

You cannot login with GitHub account, you are still forced to download a shitty 2FA program to your phone. I tried it. But whatever, I downloaded the 3rd party made by unknown developer software, used the key, and immediately deleted it. And I can only hope it didn't do anything else on my phone.

No I didn't use Authy, they required my phone number, so F*** that, I used something called Duo Mobile, from some company called Duo Security LLC. But whatever, it's over, I instantly deleted if from my phone, then I reported this bug with an angry tone, and shat on the devs, and from there on in, I will just not use VLC for anything related to streams, because it's incapable to do so.

So, yeah, thanks for the help man

I know, that this is a workaround, but it works:

1. As in the wiki, just save the long code from the right of the QR code and use it with oathtool to manually generate the PIN every time one needs it.
2. Use some full-GUI solution like OTPClient on Linux or WinAuth on Windows or Linux (here with wine). One can create a local saved database and let the PIN be generated every time one needs it. There is no need to install some extra software on the PC or smartphone and sign-up for another account on another service. And the data is saved locally, not in some cloud. One has to, on the other side, setup such database on every device, where one likes to log in into the GitLab of the VLC.
3. As a deviation from the both other scenarios: one just deactivates 2FA every time before one logs off on the GitLab. This way, next time after the log-in, one would be asked to set up the 2FA again and would be once again shown the long code to create a PIN. There is no need to save any information locally. One just uses some program, GUI or not, to generate the PIN as in the set-up step. But: don't forget to deactivate the 2FA, if you don't save the code(s)!
