run a VLC command line to record a stream

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
1

As I couldn’t find a solution with http requests to start recording a stream from my IP cam, I wonder if there is a way to run a VLC command-line with a script? Command-line to start streaming look like this: vlc -vvv rtsp://login.psswrd@IP/11/streaming.sdp
Thanks, chris

Do you know if it is possible through an os.execute() function? Or another smart way?

Another possibility in to Activate a .bat file on the PC where the VLC runs??

You can activate batch files and apps etc using MCE controller:

If you search here on the forum here, you’ll see some similar use cases, and examples of how to scene script it.

Thanks strangely, I will have a look.

For the moment, I’ve found another way to record my streams through ISpy Connect: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,11745.msg85298.html#msg85298 Free and perfect to emulate a DVR!
