Recording a radio stream without looping, duplicating, or running away

[elderhoard]

I am fairly new to using VLC via Command Prompt/Batch files and have been having a heck of a time with it. What I am trying to do is record a specific show for a set time. It runs for 5 hours and I want to record just that.

The issues I have encountered include the same stream being duplicated 6 times (same set time, just repeating 6 times regardless of duration), rewriting over itself after it reaches the end, and just not stopping when it's done(ended up with a 15 hour recording after manually stopping the process).

Below is what I am currently using. It's running on Win 8.1 Pro via task scheduler.

Code: Select all

@echo off set CUR_YYYY=%date:~10,4% set CUR_MM=%date:~4,2% set CUR_DD=%date:~7,2% set SUBFILENAME=KUSC-The-Evening-Program_%CUR_YYYY%-%CUR_MM%-%CUR_DD%.mp3 start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KUSC.pls" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2,samplerate=22050,scodec=none}:std{access=file,mux=mp3,dst='*rest of the directory here*/%SUBFILENAME%'} --run-time=18000 --stop-time=18000 vlc://quit
