Can someone help me to Schedule a recording with VLC. My scenario is, I want to schedule record a stream from my dreambox to PC with VLC, I can do that manually but I want to automate it. I want VLC to launch at let say 22 Apr 13 at 18:00hrs record my stream from dreambox and save that stream on the PC and stop recording at lets say 22 Apr 13 at 19:00hrs.
This is the command I use to launch VLC and record a stream from dreambox to PC and save it to a file.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:31344 :sout=#duplicate{dst=file{dst=C:\\\\Users\\\\name\\\\Desktop\\\\JSC.ts},dst=display} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep
The above command if launched from command prompt will record the stream and save on PC. what it won't do is, it won't stop VLC at certain time or after certain period. you need to stop it manually.
Now what I want is to accomplish the above but with start and stop time.
Please can anyone give me step by step on how to do that.

I think you can use the " --run-time=3600 " parameter like this
It will run for about an hour (3600s)
