Starting a Stream in xxxx amount of seconds

[bradallaround]

Hello all,

I'm trying to find out if there is any way to open a stream (mms, http, rstp....etc) at a certain time, from the time you enter a run prompt.

My goal is this:

Be able to set my computer up to start and record a stream at a certain time, that I will not be home to launch the recording, as a DVR would do.

I have the following command prompt that is allowing me to launch VLC, Record the stream, play locally and stop at a desired time in seconds (--stop-time xxxx)
Here that is:
"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" -vvv --stop-time 45 vlc:quit mms://74.208.11.186/services/20090201.wmv :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=C:\02182009.asf}}

I can add --start-time 15
i.g.
"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" -vvv --start-time 15 --stop-time 45 vlc:quit mms://74.208.11.186/services/20090201.wmv :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=C:\02182009.asf}}

And this opens the file at 15 seconds, but doesn't "wait" 15 seconds to start it.

Think that about explains it; just wondering if this is possible!

Thanks to you all!

Add

vlc://pause:<seconds> Special item to pause the playlist for a certain time

as first playlist entry.
