Hello Folks,

Is it possible with streamwriter to "Record & Split into "One Hour Chunks" ? as this would be exactly what I need for the project I'm working on.

I need to be able to continuously record a streaming url and every hour on the hour split this recording, I've looked through the options but cannot see anything related to this as it's not based on silence or ads etc, strictly a "Timed Split".

Even if I could set a full day schedule of recording a "One Hour" stream and starting it again after the next hour starts that would be ok but a full "Split & Timed" option would be even better.

Any help and support on this would be appreciated.

Regards
P

Hi!

This is not possible. You can only do it using workarounds. For example, set a schedule for the desired stream like this:
  • Record from 00:01 to 01:00
  • Record from 01:01 to 02:00
  • Record from 02:01 to 03:00
  • Record from 03:01 to 04:00
  • etc…
You see there is always 1 minute that is "missing", the scheduler in streamWriter does not handle things like "Record from 00:00 to 01:00, record from 01:00 to 02:00" well. I looked at it, in my opinion it is a bug, but fixing this requires too much work…

Another way would be to set the scheduler to record from 00:00 to 23:59 and use another tool to split the resulting files (I tried "mp3splt", it worked well).

Sorry if this is not the answer you hoped for…

if you want to record your streaming in an hour chunk try the older version… any version around 2013 works well… reason i know is i used to do this and very happy with my recording around 2013 then around 2014 all my recording would skip a schedule because once the recording stop the next recording would not start skipping the schedule in between.


with 2014 build 629 and bild 630
10:00 - 11:00 recorded
11:00 - 12:00 skipped
12:00 - 13:00 recorded
13:00 - 14:00 skipped

with 2013 build 579
10:00 - 11:00 recorded at 9:59 - 11:00
11:00 - 12:00 recorded at 10:59 - 1200
12:00 - 13:00 recorded at 11:59 - 1300
13:00 - 14:00 you get the idea

im currently using version 579….. took me months to figure it out that the 2014 version change my recording… i didnt realized it untill i remember updating to the latest


actually this is what im searching if this is a bug on the latest version… since i saw you question i answered with my work around…. downgrade to older version

Should be fixed with the new code for scheduled recordings in the newest build. Sorry for digging up this old thread…

Record from 00:01 to 01:00
Record from 01:01 to 02:00
Record from 02:01 to 03:00
Record from 03:01 to 04:00

If I power-on PC in 00:02 I can not start scheduled recording automatically. I should wait for 01:01
If I start recording manually, all scheduled tasks are ignoring and file would not be split.
How to be?
