    HOWTO: Record internet radio using VLC

    I had to dig through several posts to set up automated recording of my favorite internet radio show. So I hope this may of help to someone besides me.

    This can be done with a single command using VLC:
    1. Create a script file 'recordmyshow.sh', with the following content.
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    NOW=$(date +"%b-%d-%y")
    
    cvlc --run-time=7200 http://kqed-ice.streamguys.org:80/kqedradio-ch-e1 --sout "#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=/home/<user>/myshow-$NOW.mp3}" vlc://quit ;
    cvlc is the commandline version of vlc
    use --run-time to indicate the duration of the show in seconds
    Replace the url to the radio station of your choice and dst to the path you desire. That's it

    2. Mark the file as executable
    Code:
    chmod +x recordmyshow.sh
    3. Schedule the recording in cron.
    a. Launch the cron
    Code:
    crontab -e
    b. Put the schedule in it
    Code:
    00 18 * * 06 /home/<user>/recordmyshow.sh
    My favorite show is at 6 pm every Saturday.

    I would like to schedule a live stream of WPLJ radio station. Here's the address:

    Code:
    mmsh://citadelcc-wplj-fm.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WPLJ_FM?MSWMExt=.asf
    I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

    Change the mux to asf
    ex.
    --sout "#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=/home/doug/nj1.wma}"

    Re: HOWTO: Record internet radio using VLC

    i modified the code to this
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    
    
    vlc --run-time=10800 http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/play.pls?stationid=319909&now=1157978043165&token=53ddde2191ce2a16d9a3d1f10e1cf672-3012110080400000&AuthType=NORMAL&bitrate=256&SaneID=81.187.66.150-1156155723215&membername=&session=kxlu2%3A0&tag=live365&filename.pls --sout "#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp3,dst=/home/paul/mfn.mp3}" vlc://quit ;
    to record a show on KXLU which uses .pls format. i changed cvlc to vlc just for testing.
    when i execute the .sh file, vlc starts and plays the stream just fine, but no recording takes place. i am able to manually save the stream using the media>convert/save dialogue.
    can anyone show me where i'm going wrong? the link for the stream is
    Code:
    http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/play.pls?stationid=319909&now=1157978043165&token=53ddde2191ce2a16d9a3d1f10e1cf672-3012110080400000&AuthType=NORMAL&bitrate=256&SaneID=81.187.66.150-1156155723215&membername=&session=kxlu2%3A0&tag=live365&filename.pls
