--run-time question

[MaSTeRMinD]

What I'm trying to achieve is a playlist with 2 or more entries. They should all play for 60 secs and then loop.
What i did from command line is this

Code: Select all

vlc udp://@239.....:10204 --run-time=10 udp://@239......:11111 --run-time=10 --loop

Everything works fine except when one of the streams is not working. Then --run-time=10 is ignored, because there is nothing playing and the cycle is ended. Is there a workaround or other way to do this ?
The main is reason of doing this is to find out if stream is not working.

Like this?

Code: Select all

vlc udp://@239.....:10204 :run-time=10 udp://@239......:11111 :run-time=10 --loop

I just did same effect.

Try dropping the "=" symbol, leaving a blank space instead.

I did. Didn't helped. I came with another solution though. An expect script auto telneting and switching streams.
