Hi All,

I'm not sure what forum to dump this under.. but.. I've created a script that rips cbcradio2 every saturday (for cbcradio3). I used streamripper instead of mplayer b/c it handles things a little nicer (You can say "record for this amount of time then die").

That being said, when I try to play the ogg file it creates in mythmusic, it dies and says "DecorderOgg: Error while decoding stream, File Appears to be corrupted". However, when i play it using winamp, it works fine. Also the stream gets name -.ogg instead of the file name i specify..

Here is the script (I'm a bash scripting dummy.. sorry)

#!/bin/bash
cd /myth/music/streamrips/
TODAY=`(set \`date +%F\`; echo $1)`
streamripper http://oggtrial.nm.cbc.ca:80/cbcr2-toronto.ogg -a -l 30600 -D "%S-$TODAY"


Any ideas? Hints? I'd like to expand this script into a larger Streaming project.. (Sorta like mythstream)

I think this is the proper place to post: "Installing and configuration of addition software not included in KnoppMyth." So no worries

I wanted to thank you for asking this question - I didn't know about streamripper until just now I knew of Windows programs to do this, but no Linux ones.

I have half your problem solved. If you do this:



you will get files named, e.g.
inside a directory named

If you tell me what naming convention you want, I can help you fix the script to do that, but I'm really not sure what the -D parameter is for, since I found no reference to it in the streamripper man pages. Did you mean -d instead?

As for why MythMusic choked on it, I'm not sure. Mplayer did not choke on my test sample, but it did complain a bit: Maybe MythMusic has a stricter ogg implementation?

In any case, the docs on streamripper say it's for ripping mp3s from shoutcast-compatible streams. Since the stream you're ripping is ogg, maybe it's luck that it works at all? Is the stream shoutcase-compatible?

Hi,

I'm not very creative when it comes writing scripts but have been fairly successful with modifications (enhancements if you will). There was an article in the Linux Journal recently about capturing a stream. http://linuxjournal.com/article/8402 (with scripts) and with a few tweaks, works very well for a half dozen shows / stations that I have tested. I will also try your site as I don't know what is being fed where I go. It will also do RSS but since I have not been there I simply #'d them out for now.

ls /myth/music/Radio
prairie.2005-09-04.mp3 Which will show up in myth music as Garrison Keillor Parrie Home Companion

Only bad part is once a week I have to do a manual music scan until I can find the magic switch to do it automaticly.
Hope this is helpful.
Mike

Hi,

I wasn't succesful in getting a capture however it may be some silly switch that I don't understand. I use mplayer to do my other stream captures and mplayer handles the ogg very nicly. (very pretty music while typing replies)

Here's the results to read while enjoying the easy listening music
