Like above user, VLC does stop recording, but I got no issue that VLC freeze and or resource issues that could be the cause behind this. It is the only forum I have seen that info shared on but have not been able to confirm if that really is the case from other sites/sources.Īnd another user with similar issue to mine: "stream recording stops after few minutes" "Joejim" said he found info that no cache can be set in VLC when it somes to HLS. Someone had a similar issue as me, but no solution provided.Īnd on the VLC forum, someone having a similar problem. And based on my little research it seems it could be possible start downloading a live HLS stream, but a little problematic stopping it in the middle as that could make the file end up broken, not able to play it.Īs far as VLC goes I have tried increasing the network cache which is said to help with unstable/stuttering streams, just to see if it makes any difference what so ever, if it did help, it didn't solve the problem at least. But I have never used them since I really find it difficult working with the command prompt and remembering all of the handy commands that one needs to know in order to get the most out of this kind of tools. In my longer post that went up in smoke, I also mentioned that I got FFMPEG and Youtube-dl installed. (I also tried the great browser add-on Video Downloadhelper since it works great on many sites for many different tasks, it managed to keep going for around 10-15min, then it stops downloading.) I have searched the internet a total of probably 20 hours trying to figure out the problem, including some threads on this lovely forum (Videohelp), but nothing have help, so I thought it's time to stop searching and start a thread intead. So no matter what I try it doesn't seem to help solve this headache for me. And after some time when i come back to check I see that VLC has stopped recording way too early and the file size are not near where it should be. I have tried different settings and lately while troubleshooting I simply start a VLC recording of above stream (with or without ships) and leave the recording going in the background while I do other things on the computer. Are you able to keep VLC recording this stream without having VLC stop it when you least expect it? I got no problem opening and watching the above stream in VLC, VLC does not stop it then, it's only when it comes to recording it. Sometimes the recording goes on for 3min only, sometimes 15min, the recording that kept going on the longest before stopping is 30min. But for some reason VLC stops recording automatically, without me clicking on the stop button. To put it short, I am trying to use VLC and record this stream for a whole straight 1-2 hours at max. It is a webcam stream showing ship arrivals and departures in the port, at different times during the day, and night. The random number in the m3u8-URL seems to change every 24hr so one needs to look it up once a day. I use MacOS Mojave and I am trying to get my issue with VLC suddenly stops recording a live HLS stream solved.įind the m3u8 using your preferred method. No energy left doing it all over again now.) (Had spent around 2 hours writing my post to include as much info as possible, but when I clicked "preview post", the forum said I was logged out and the whole thing was gone.
