Back to VLC:
First thing to do is to make sure your VLC works everywhere in windows.
on command line type: path, press enter key.
You should see something like this:
C:\>path
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v 1.0\;C:\P\GnuWin32\b
in;C:\AP;C:\AP\7Z;C:\AP\FF;C:\AP\RDUMP;C:\P\M;C:\P \VLC;C:\P\LIVESTR;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_111\bin
If you don't see location of your vlc.exe here you will have to replace vlc.exe in batch file
with full path to wherever your vlc.exe is:
"C:\Program Files ...\vlc.exe"
To make this organized create directory C:\HRTV and copy to it all files required:
C:\HRTV>dir /b /on
curl.exe
HRTV.au3
HRTV.exe - this one you will get after you compile hrtv.au3 with autoit.
hrtvVLCrtmp.bat
Create txt file and name it: hrtvVLCrtmp.bat, copy code from below and paste it in.
:start
for /f %%x in ('hrtv.exe') do set var=%%x
vlc.exe %var% --sout=file{append}/ts:hrtv.mpg
:loop
for /f %%y in ('hrtv.exe') do set var2=%%y
if "%var%"=="%var2" goto loop
goto start
This is the simplest code possible it can be. Batch file will create hrtv.mpg file.
This batch file will start working only when you start it and stop only when you kill it.
If you let it run it will never stop, appending chunks untill your disk is full and PC stops working.
If you come in situation that you cannot stop it for some reason beyond me,
switch the power button on your PC off.
Restart the PC, and batch file will not run again unless you start it again.
After you finish with recording rename hrtv.mpg to something else or delete it.
If you leave it, next time you run batch file it will continue appending to saved hrtv.mpg.
To play the stream while it is being recorded, to get uninterupted play start playing when there is
some of this stream already saved on the disk, ideally after second chunk had started recording.
Download curl_752_1.zip from this link and unzip it, there will be only one file inside zip, curl.exe.
http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.52.1
CURL 7.52.1
Download WITHOUT SSL
create txt file, name it htrv.au3, copy code from below and paste it in.
RunWait( 'cmd.exe /c curl -A Mozilla/5.0 -s
http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=rtmp | CLIP','', @SW_HIDE )
$sData = ClipGet()
$first = StringInStr( $sData, '"quality":"high","url":"' ) + 23
$sData = StringTrimLeft( $sData, $first )
$last = StringLen( $sData ) - ( StringInStr( $sData, '","watch-timeout":0}]' ) - 1 )
$sData = StringTrimRight( $sData, $last ) & '/694.high.stream'
ConsoleWrite( $sData & @CRLF )
Download autoit from here:
https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/
Download zip:
autoit-v3.zip
unzip it wherever you like and you will get directory: install:
C:\install>dir /b /on
Aut2Exe
AutoItX
Examples
Extras
Icons
Include
SciTe
Au3Check.dat
Au3Check.exe
Au3Info.exe
Au3Info_x64.exe
AutoIt v3 Website.url
AutoIt.chm
AutoIt3.exe
AutoIt3_x64.exe
AutoIt3Help.exe
change to directory Aut2Exe and copy to it hrtv.au3, content should look like this:
C:\install\Aut2Exe>dir /o/b
Icons
Aut2exe.exe
Aut2exe_x64.exe
HRTV.au3
upx.exe
on command line type this and press enter:
C:\install\Aut2Exe>Aut2exe.exe /in hrtv.au3
This will create hrtv.exe
Now, when you have it all together inside HRTV directory double click on hrtvVLCrtmp.bat and
cmd window and minimal vlc will pop up ( no stream to see ) and stream will be recording to hrtv.mpg.
After every chunk vlc will close and pop-up again every 2 minutes, and in between while waiting for next chunk to start.
This all can be made invisible and better and would require longer code.
So long for now, this post is Marathon, you can always ask for more details.
