The easiest would certaily be to launch an extern application to stop
vlc at the expected time. Under linux, you can for instance launch vlc
with the http interface, and use wget with a link to the stop command
when required to stop the vlc. An alternative would be to use the rc
interface... (The easiest ugly solution would be to use killall if only
one session of vlc is running ;)
