Software dor capturing streaming audio
Can anyone recommend a proggie for capturing streaming audio programs from the web?
I have done a bit of searching and the best thing I've found so far is this: http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-d.../msg01796.html "I solved the problem with sox and lame: sox -t ossdsp -w -s -r 44100 -c 2 /dev/dsp -t raw - | /usr/local/freevo/runtime/apps/lame -x -m s - ./test.mp3 Now for the fun python bits :)" If this is workable, can someone give me some tips on making this work on SuSE 8.2? Many thanks, Gonniff |
Mplayer is good for that. It's documented well on the site.

footfrisbee,
Do you mean the section: 3.3 Streaming from network or pipes MPlayer can play files from network, using the HTTP, FTP, MMS or RTSP/RTP protocol. Playing goes by simply using adding the URL to the command line. MPlayer also honors the http_proxy environment variable, and uses proxy if available. Proxy usage can also be forced: mplayer http_proxy://proxy.micorsops.com:3128/http://micorsops.com:80/stream.asf MPlayer can read from stdin (NOT named pipes). This can be for example used to play from FTP: wget ftp://micorsops.com/something.avi -O - | mplayer - Note: it's also recommended to enable CACHE when playback from network: wget ftp://micorsops.com/something.avi -O - | mplayer -cache 8192 - I'm not much on this technology, so don't see how this allows me to save the file to HD and then burn to CD-ROM if I want later. Please let me know if I've missed what you meant. Natma, Thanks for that. I'll have a look at that now. |
To use the above example:
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile mycapture.wmv http_proxy://proxy.micorsops.com:3128/http://micorsops.com:80/stream.asf This command will dump the stream to the file "mycapture.wmv". Check out the stream options in the manpage for mplayer. |
Thanks, footfrisbee.
Sorry about not getting that the first time. I'll have a go when I get home from work. Looks very promising! |
