I'm trying to record a m3u url with VLC using a batch file. The output file is 0 kb. Here is my bat file:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://www.surfmusic.de/media/wtvn-am.m3u :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=C:\Radio\test_028.mp3}}

Any ideas why my output file is 0 kb? Thank you.

. Here is my bat file:

Hi
That stream is aac, not mp3.

This command will work with VLC for your bat file:-

Thank you! That works.

One more question, I would like the output file name to include the record date. I saw the script below from a couple other threads to add the date. When I add the date script to my bat file it doesn’t record the stream or add the output file. Is the date script syntax correct? Thank you.

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://www.surfmusic.de/media/wtvn-am.m3u --sout "#std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\Radio\mystreamfile%date:~7,2%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~10,4%.m4a}
