Using 'at' command to record video stream the next day and do it only once

I'm trying to

  1. start and stream video to vlc and
  2. record the same video stream to a file that starts at 05:45 am the next day

Everything works but the start time, instead of starting at 05:45 am the next day it starts immediately. What did I miss?

bash -c "streamlink --stdout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOacA3RYrXk 720p | tee /tmp/water_vid/water_video-$(date +"%H:%M_%m-%d-%Y").mkv | vlc -" | at 05:45 am
Solution

  • You need to write the commands, not their output

    echo "streamlink --stdout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOacA3RYrXk 720p | tee /tmp/water_vid/water_video-$(date +'%H:%M_%m-%d-%Y').mkv | vlc -" | at 05:45 am
