I am confused... when running from the command line how do you normally
stop the recording? pressing ctrl+c? killing the background process?
If I understand Freevo correctly all it will do is start the command you
put in VCR_CMD at the appropriate time, and when the time comes kill the
process that it started. You shouldn't have to do anything to make it stop.
I would recommend switching DEBUG on in your config and then posting the
output here to see what is going wrong.
you can enable debug with:
DEBUG = 5
DEBUG_CHILDAPP = 1
in your local_conf.py
