Record Youtube Live Stream from the command line

[VLCFanNumber1]

Hello everybody,

I would like to record 10 minutes of a Youtube Live Stream from the command line (and would like VLC to close after that). How can I do this with a single command ? I've Googled it but didn't anything that works.

Thanks in advance for your help !

PS : FYI the livestream url is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjcyBzzE7-A (it's 720p)

I can tell you how to do it from the vlc UI, but not from the command line. Is there any particular reason you want to use the latter?

It's to schedule automatic recordings with Task Scheduler (Windows 7).

I don't know if mp4 is the right mux for this but

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy --run-time <number of seconds you want> --play-and-exit --sout="#std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=record.mp4}"

However, a stream might break at the middle (because of the way it sends the data) and VLC doesn't really support that ATM.
