Getting amarok 1.3.8 to record streams...
using OpenSuSE10, along with Streamripper 1.55pre1-62.i586.rpm...amarok 1.3.8.
Commands awk, egrep, ps and wget are present on this system...see instructions below.
My problem is I dont know how to enable a plugin and have it appear as a right-click option to record the stream I'm listening to. Again see instructions...please.
Amarok --> plugin --> Streamripper --> Save File.
Thats the way I believe the instructions tell me the process should happen...am I missing something?
Description:
RecordRadio is a simple bash script that plugs into amarok and uses streamripper to record radio stations you listen to.
Now as of version 0.2 it can also save podcasts to your music collection.
Simply enable it as a plugin, and when you connect to any http stream it plugin will spawn a instance of streamripper that will record the songs and place them in subdirectories within a directory called “Music” in your home. Five seconds later amarok will start listening to a relay server on port 8017 so as not to use unnecessary bandwidth.
To save a podcast or remote mp3 or ogg file to your music collection, right click on it in your playlist, select “RecordRadio” and “Save Podcast”. They will be saved in a directory called Music/SavedPodcast within your home directory.
Requirements:
You need to have streamripper installed. It comes as part of Debian and several other distributions. For RecordRadio to run you need to update to the latest version of Amarok due to a bug in version 1.3.1. Also you need to have a few standard GNU commands available (awk, egrep, ps, wget).
RecordRadio has been test on and works with Amarok = = 1.3.7 (w/xine and arts engines), Streamripper = = 1.67.17
