Stop a VLM stream after a certain period of time

[cadycad]

Hello All,

It is my first post here, I try to search on google but cannot find what I'm searching for.

I woud like to send a control command in the telnet to play a stream and stop it after a certain period of time. As I can see, there's no timer option, only a scheduler.

let say this is the vlm I load at startup (pretty simple) :

new channel broadcast enabled
setup record input http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/xxxxx
setup record output #std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=c:\image\test.mpg}

I would like to send a command via telnet like :

control channel play --time-stop 30

The goal would be to stop the recording after 30 seconds and be able to redo it when I want to record a 30 sec clip everytime I send the command.

Thank you, your help would be very appreciated

did you try to give the option "time-stop"
