General Discussion / Record a stream to file using VLC
October 20, 2015, 09:23:26 AM

You need the stream Location URL!!!!
Right-click on the video and from the Properties dialog copy the URL you can find at "Location".



    open VLC and go to Media → Open Network Stream... The Open Media dialog will open, paste the URL you've just copied in the URL box.


    Unfold the "Play" button and click on the Convert option. You can also do this by pressing Alt+C in your keyboard.


    In the Convert dialog you will have to select the location and type of the destination file. Click the Browse button and in the explorer like window you can browse your folders and give a name and extension to the output file.




    Click OK and you are back to the Convert dialog, here you will be able to select if you want to view the output while recording and the profile. For this example I selected the default Video – H.264 + AAC (MP4) but you can choose the one that best fits your needs.


    Click start and after a few seconds of buffering the live feed video will start being recorded.



    To end the recording just click the Stop button and to play the output file all you have to do is go to the containing folder and double click on it. Depending on the file type you selected and your system configuration it will be played on different players.
    Final Words

    Now you can start recording all those live feeds you've always wanted to save for later viewing or to share with your friends and family. VLC media player makes it easy and simple for you.

General Discussion / Record Desktop VLC
October 20, 2015, 09:04:40 AM
 1.   Under Media, click "Open Capture Device."
2.   Click the "Capture Mode" dropdown and select "Desktop."
3.   Modify the frame rate. 15 f/s will probably be good enough for desktop recording, though 30 may be required for more fast-paced movement.
4.   Click the dropdown arrow next to "Play" and select "Convert."
5.   In the "Profile" dropdown, choose MP4.
     1.   At this step, you can click the tool icon to modify the settings of this profile. Here you can modify things like resolution or bitrate. We'll use the default settings for now, but you can come back here later if you need to tweak the final product.
6.   In the Destination box, choose a location to place the finished file.
7.   Click Start.

Once you click Start, VLC will stream a feed of your desktop into itself behind the scenes. Let it run while you record your workspace. When you're done, you can click the stop buton in the player controls to end recording.

Installing Postfix is easy, just run this command as root:

yum install postfix mailx cyrus-sasl-plain

Configuring

Create a file named sasl_passwd in /etc/postfix. Replace smtp_user and smtp_passwd with their respective values.
           echo "smtp.gmail.com    user@gmail.com:Gmail_password" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

You then hash that file so that the password is not stored in clear text. This command will create a file named sasl_passwd.db in the /etc/postfix/ directory.
      postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

After that is done, add these to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf. This is assuming that your root certificates installed from openssl are located in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.

      smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
       smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
       smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
       # Secure channel TLS with exact nexthop name match.
       smtp_tls_security_level = secure
       smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = TLSv1
       smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers = high
       smtp_tls_secure_cert_match = nexthop
       smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
       relayhost = smtp.gmail.com:587


After that is done, restart postfix:

    service postfix restart

Now test it to make sure it is working. Run this in the terminal:
    mail email@domain

Fill in the subject, put something in the body and then type a . on a blank line to end and hit enter.

If all went well, you should get an email at the email address you entered. If you do, you can delete the file that has the password.

rm /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

If it did not work, check the log to see what happened.
