Hi,

Currently, I can record record a stream using...
But the file quickly becomes too big, (over 24 hours), so I would like to split it into 30 minutes chunks.

Is it possible to do the same as above but also split it over time/size?

otherwise can VLC split a file?

Thanks

hey, sir, did you solve it?

This should work. Of course you'll need VLC 0.9.0 or later. See Documentation:Play_HowTo/Format_String for more info about format strings in VLC.

This

Code: Select all

vlc --loop --no-sout-keep <the input> --sout '#...:std{access=file,mux=...,dst=myfile-%Y%m%d-%H%M%s.ext}' --run-time 1800

should work. Of course you'll need VLC 0.9.0 or later. See Documentation:Play_HowTo/Format_String for more info about format strings in VLC.

Thanks for that, it looks like what I need.

Where could I get the version 0.9 from? Is it a nightly build?

Thanks

http://nightlies.videolan.org has some builds (depending on the OS you use). We should release officially with binaries and all in the next few days.
