Software mostly dedicated to watch CNN and BBC news?
Hello,
Early in the morning I am used to watch CNN or BBC news. When I am travelling, not always possible. Would you eventually know a dedicated software so that it may allow to watch CNN and BBC news, for instance fetching the stream url and playing with mplayer? (in UK, Outside Uk...) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcnews Best regards |
Best way is always tricky.
Mplayer is a good choice I suspect but I've never used it. VLC has just about every type of media covered. Pretty sure I read part of the instructions for using it to read from web sources. |
Make your own.
Example: Code:
#! /usr/bin/env bash |
If the streams are available online you can watch them in a browser. But no application can show you what isn't there. I don't know specifically about CNN, but BBC News is not available as a continuous stream online unless you have a special program from your cable provider, and it only runs under Windows.
But you could install virtualbox, install Windows, and run the cable-tv app from the virtual machine. That's what I do when there's no way around Windows. |
