Setup by day, not possible

Postby charlest » 15 Sep 2007 09:27

Using VLM syntax, I believe it's impossible to setup scheduling by day, e.g. start a play session on every monday.

What do you think?

An "every Monday"-type schedule is possible. Simply pick a start date on any Monday previous to the current date, and define a repeat period in a week's worth of hours, like so:

Code: Select all

new my_sched schedule enabled setup my_sched date 2007/01/01-17:45 period 168:00:00 setup my_sched append control my_video play
There's nothing in the VLM syntax parsing which limits the repeat period to 23:59:59 or less.

I setup this dvb acquisition and transcoding task daily with vlm:

vlc dvb: --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=730000000 --dvb-bandwidth=8 --programs=15 --sout ''#duplicate{dst="std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=dvb.ts}"}"

The problem is that vlc overwrite file dvb.ts every day. It's possible to indroduce a filename mask (date and time for example), to obtain a different filename for every day ?

Thanks
