Recording timed interent audio

space_invader64 · 12-13-2005, 02:36 PM

I like recording streamed interent radio shows. In windows I've used ReplayRadio and in Mac I've used Audio Hijack. Is there a linux program that will launch the media player and record spasific programs on a timer?

Download and install streamripper at streamripper.sourceforge.net
Create a script such as /usr/bin/ripKmfdm.sh containing the command.
For Example:

Quote:

streamripper horde.whutdufuk.com:8000/ -d /mnt/rip -r 8008 -u "iTunes/4.7"

Create an entry in the crontab to launch and kill the script at a certain time.

Quote:

00 13 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/ripKmfdm.sh
00 16 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/killall streamripper

Hey, bumping this really old thread I found via Yahoo. I have tried the same thing.

My problem is that the process gets cut short. Every time I do it, it cuts short after recording 1004kb. It's the same file size every time, so it makes me think that it's not cutting off after a certain time, but rather a certain file size. I have no clue what could be causing this.

Here's my script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
streamripper URL -d ~/Audio/Radio -s -a -l 10800
rm -rf ~/Audio/Radio/incomplete
rm ~/Audio/Radio/*.cue

If I run the script on its own, it records for the whole 3 hours (10800 seconds). If I run through crontab, it stops after 1004kb. Here's my cron job:

Code:

00 10 * * 1-5 /home/matthew/.ripradio

Wow! This is an old one.
Have you tried looking in the logs for any error messages?
I'm not sure where they would appear, but it's somewhere like:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/cron

thanks, but i think it's working now. it's one of those things that doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, and then suddenly works as if for no reason. I just kept testing it for different days, never really altered anything, and suddenly it worked. whatever, i'll take any victory i can get.

thanks regardless.
