How to schedule a DVB-T stream record for VLC?

  • 772

I can watch TV with vlc (DVB-T). Timeshift and Record functions work fine. What could I do to schedule a stream record? I. e., ZDF today at 22:25 for 45 minutes.

This is my channels.conf:

    Faster than expected I found an answer! For this example I have to run:

    echo 'cvlc dvb-t://frequency=594000000 :program=514 :run-time=2700 --sout Videos/Aufnahmen/heute-show-120330.mpg vlc://quit' | at 22:25

    What to adjust for other scheduled recordings:

    • frequency: this number after the channel-name in the channels.conf
    • program: the last number of the line in the channels.conf
    • run-time: for how long should be recorded (time in seconds)
    • sout: place and filename for the output
    • at: start time for the record
