The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there,

I know this discussion is out there for a while but is there any progress on recording the streaming video on the fly with libvlc API? Basically what I'm trying to achieve is display and record an incoming video stream. Currently, to record the streaming video;

QString option1 = ":sout-all";
QString option2 = ":sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=\"std{access=file,mux=ts,dst='%1'}\"}";
option2 = option2.arg(fileName);
libvlc_media_add_option(media1->core(), option1.toUtf8().data());
libvlc_media_add_option(media1->core(), option2.toUtf8().data());

For this to work, I need to stop and open the media again, something VLC Media Player "Record Button" doesn't do. I've tried this with VLC 2.0.2, VLC 2.2.1 and VLC Nightly Build vlc-3.0.0-20170426-0303-git-win32-debug.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.
