CLI to download a streaming mp3 to a file
Posted: 01 Apr 2014 23:18
hi,
i can download a streaming mp3 to a file with the GUI by using the raw flag and the url and a file name. i can't seem to figure out how to use the command line for this. i can pass in the url and it brings up vlc playing the stream. i tried --sout and --demuxdump-file but it just plays in the player. i don't want to hear the audio playing, i just want to dump to a file. if it doesn't bring up the player that is even better as i will be automating this.
thanx,
