How to mute the audio for two hours, then unmute?

Postby BossTurbo » 24 Sep 2009 02:43

I am currently calling VLC through these command line options on my windows pc:

vlc.exe --fullscreen --playlist-autostart C:\_InOut\test.m3u

The only problem is that I need to have the audio muted for two hours, then the rest of the day to play the playlist with audio as normal. I am assuming I have to use lua for this but if there is another way, please let me know! Perhaps to run a commandline option that includes "--noaudio" for two hours, have vlc shut down, and restart with the above commandline. I have no idea how to do that either tho.

Thanks,
-brian
