Lua: end MPV at a time
Using MPV I want a Lua script to end playback of a stream at the end of a show but my script does nothing at the time I set it to.
curtime = os.date("!%H:%M:%S")
endtime = "00:30:00"
if ( curtime == endtime )
then mp.command("quit")
end
lua mpv

Is the intent for the curtime to be UTC? so your stream ends at 12:30 am UTC.

I suggest changing your code to evaluate the epoch time, this way you can evaluate time as a numeric value.
endtime = endtime or os.time() + 3600 -- add the expected stream duration in seconds.
curtime = os.time()
if (curtime >= endtime) then
mp.command("quit")
end
Your example has only 1 second in time where the if statement is true. While 1 second is a long time for a computer, it is possible to miss a window defined so absolutely. If your code has points where it may sleep or wait for a long time you can miss the window from that alone.
Here in my example the stream is set to end 1 hour after the first time this section of code is run, this is represented by the 3600 seconds i added to os.time().
Once the current time is equal to or greater than that increase of 3600 seconds the if statement condition will be true and the quit command should be sent.
