Schedule a recording from m3u playlist

Postby ginovanta » 15 Apr 2017 16:34

Greetings,i wonder if i could ask for some help: i'd like to schedule a stream recording from a m3u playlist file i have,is there any way to do it? That is tell the program when to start and stop recording?
I have found that could be done with a .bat file but i am a bit noob on such things and i don't know how to procede :D
can someone point me towards it?

thank you very much and happy easter

No, there are no ways to do it with an M3U playlist.

To schedule a record, you either have to use VLM (see documentation, non-trivial), or the OS task scheduler.

Hi everyone!
I have to register a program in a channel list in .m3u and I want to try in scheduled mode like that post: https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/8jw4rx/vlc_schedule_recording_a_specific_channel/
nobody reply this guy.
I also write an easy script in .bat on Windows 10 but I can open Vlc at the startup on the link but I can't recording in a "scheduled way". I have saw and tried SchTasks.exe in scheduled operation of Windows but I need to register that video every x day at x hour.
I think it's absolutely crazy (with all respect) that Vlc doesn't support this function with plugins/settings!!
I tried .vlm function but with no results
Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks
