Hi mates,
Ive got big problem with VLC. Please tell me where can I set time when I want to finish recording of stream ? Best way will be some parametr for command line. I am running VLC on Windows. I hope there is some paramter, because if not then I thing that developers should make some more work on it.
Thx....

I would like to know this also. Now I'm using external program to kill VLC at right time, but that's only a sad hack...

This is the second time today I answered this. Try using search!
--stop-time <integer> Stop time
The stream will stop at this position (in
seconds).

Hoping to be sternly corrected, but after poking at this quite a bit AND doing a lot of searches here, timed recording of live streams apparently isn't a feature. I, too, have been reduced to some fairly clumsy hacks to get this function, hacks which are still too cranky to deploy beyond "proof of concept" testing.
I do hope that this omission is corrected sometime soon... hint, hint.

Well I found solution in using Mencoder instead of VLC.
Simple script
Code: Select all
start mencoder -cache 4096 rtp://@239.194.10.13:1234 -vf scale=640:480 -o title2.avi -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -endpos 10
Make everything what i want
Anyway, if there is some solution for VLC i preffer it!
