Watching News France 24 over mplayer

Hello,

I would like to know how to watch france24 news english over mplayer, I read that this might eventually work, but not :(

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://stream2.france24.yacast.net/france24_live/en -a france24_live/en -W http://www.france24.com/en/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf -p http://www.france24.com/en/aef_player_popup/france24_player -y f24_liveen | mplayer -

Maybe you would have BBC or CNN in english?

Regards

Hi

are you referring to this howto?
http://whatnotlinux.blogspot.com.au/...-rtmpdump.html

or this one, appears to offer a mini howto
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/fbk1l/

and both might answer your Other EN question

I only use vlc for media playing but used google chrome to watch france24 to see how good it might be.

2) I know you are debian user but don't forget to install the software and configure your bashrc

good luck

thank you very much

Hi,

I have a problem with the fullscreen with mplayer, would you know if it is possibel with -fs and -zoom ?

it it a bug?
thanks

CNN International

Code:

xterm -e rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://a.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge/cnni_live -W http://msnbclive.eu/getswf.php?name=player.swf -p http://blog.livenewschat.tv/international-room-chat | mplayer -fs -zoom -

I was able to watch it with

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://a.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge/cnni_live -W http://msnbclive.eu/getswf.php?name=player.swf -p http://blog.livenewschat.tv/international-room-chat -o file

And then

Code:

mplayer file

You'll have a copy of the broadcast for later. Or you could do

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://a.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge/cnni_live -W http://msnbclive.eu/getswf.php?name=player.swf -p http://blog.livenewschat.tv/international-room-chat -o file & sleep 10 && mplayer file

Or any other way you want to buffer a little and then play it. You'll need to kill rtmpdump when you are done. As far as full screen, press the f key when mplayer starts. Or do it how you want. This should be enogh info to get you going.

would you eventually have the stream url of VIVA.tv music ?

Greetings

Hi would you know... the stream for bbc is no longer working :( rgds

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://a.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge -y bbcworld_vh -W http://www.rentadrone.tv/player.swf -p http://www.rentadrone.tv/msnbc-live-rockinroosters/ " | mplayer -

you may try this...what's up with that rtmp link below?

Code:

 rtmp -r -v "rtmp://aljazeeraflashlivefs.fplive.net/aljazeeraflashlive-live/" -a "aljazeera_eng_high" -W "http://www.watcharab.com/tv/swf/al_jazeera_english.swf"  | mplayer -

A simple TV tuner script to watch TV networks online with mplayer. I've already included some examples. Remove what you want, put your own in.
If you don't want to use X then you'll need to use mplayer with framebuffer.

Code:

#! /usr/bin/env bash



# A script to watch TV networks online with mplayer.

# Requires mplayer, rtmpdump, and a broadband internet connection. 

# If you wish to use a different media player, modify the script.

# Works in X or framebuffer.



# Set mplayer to use X or framebuffer here.

# mp="mplayer -vo fbdev2 -vf scale=640:360"

mp="mplayer"



clear

# Add network ID here.

OPTIONS="Quit Bloomberg_News CNN CNN_Int CNBC NHK CSPAN1 CSPAN2 CSPAN3 ESPN

echo "Select a station, Press q to stop stream, Ctrl+C if in framebuffer."

These all work at the time of posting, in th US. If your in Europe or Asia you may need a different stream.
This is not a post on rtmpdump usage, or how to find stream info. There are plenty of forums
on the internet which cover that. Find your own network streams and put them in.
