Help me record this stream in linux

[jb_bak]

Can anyone help me record this mms stream from a Microsoft server?

"mms://WSHAStreamer17.shawu.edu/WSHAFM88.9 Live Stream"

Its from this site:
http://www.shawu.edu/WSHA/Listen_Live/Listen_Live.aspx

I can't get it to open in linux anymore but it does play with windows media player and also winamp on a windows desktop. I would like to be able to record it from the command line in linux using my raspberry pi. I had a script using mimms that worked great for a few years than just stopped about 6 months ago. I've tried vlc, streamripper, mencoder, ffmpeg, and others to no avail. It just keeps coming back as stream not found. The stream doesn't show protected in windows media player. Not sure why I cannot get any program to connect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried mplayer?

To record it you'd use something like:

Code: Select all

$ mplayer mms://"WSHAStreamer17.shawu.edu/WSHAFM88.9 Live Stream" -dumpstream -dumpfile recording.ts

Not sure why kind of stream it actually is.
I put it down as .TS.

Thanks for your help, but I am still getting the not found error. I dont understand why it plays just fine with windows media player and winamp, but not in VLC, among other programs.

Either the URL changed on the server side, or third party apps are deliberately black-listed.

You can use Wireshark if you want to debug/compare the requests from WMP and other players.

Great idea! Yes your right. It looks like an rtsp stream? Hmmmm...... now how to record this. Mplayer is still throwing off errors

Nevermind got it with this. Thanks guys!!

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp \ -i rtsp://WSHAStreamer17.shawu.edu/WSHAFM88.9%20Live%20Stream myFile.mp3

That's RTSP, not MMS...

[jb_bak]

yeah its funny, it shows in winamp/windows media player as an mms link (and also on the webpage link) but wireshark showed it was translating it into an rtsp......probably a misconfigured server on their end?
