[opensuse] streamed radio program question
Hello: I would like to listen and record programs from this streamed radio program: http://radio.hrt.hr/ Click on "Slušaj uživo". This opens a window with a flash player and the stream is played by flash player. The stream's exact address is: http://www.hrt.hr/streamf/PROGRAM1 It also starts buffering the program and you can move the slider backward and forward for selecting what to play. The maximum time interval for this buffering is 30 minutes. My questions: 1. What kind of streaming is this exactly? Is there any way to play the stream with another program/application than flash player? For example a command line tool which does not require GUI interface. 2. How and where is the buffered sound stored? What is the mechanism of being able to go back and forward within the 30 minutes time frame? Is the sound buffered in computer memory, on hard disk, or on the stream server? How could I find it out? 3. If I turn off playing the stream by clicking the stop button the buffered sound/time is lost. Turning on it again starts the buffering from 0 min again. Would it be possible somehow to recover the previously buffered sound? I'd appreciate any opinion or suggestion. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Istvan, Here's what I did: wget http://www.hrt.hr/streamf/PROGRAM1 cat PROGRAM1 Made note of the embedded player code: <iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="http://player.streamtheworld.com/_players/hrtbig/index.html?callsign=PROGRAM..." name="HRTstream" style="overflow:hidden;"></iframe> Tried playing the URL with mplayer (this is one line): mplayer http://player.streamtheworld.com/_players/hrtbig/index.html?callsign=PROGRAM... which failed, but yielded more information: Resolving player.streamtheworld.com for AF_INET... Connecting to server player.streamtheworld.com[208.80.53.144]: 80... Cache size set to 320 KBytes Cache fill: 0.54% (1773 bytes) libavformat version 54.25.104 (internal) I'm sure that, given enough time, a way can be devised to dump (hence save) the stream. I don't have that time right now... hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
