create mp3 stream on website with wma as input

Hello,

Forgive me if I'm asking a very basic question, but I've been looking in a lot of places, but probably the wrong ones. My question is that i have built an Iphone app that can play mp3 streams from any given url. I want to play a certain radio station that only streams wma. So I need to set up a server that receives the wma stream, converts it to mp3 and then puts the mp3 stream on the internet. Is there a howto for this?

Many thanks in advance,

Paul

Something like

Code: Select all

vlc http://webradio.com/playlist.pls --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:std{access=http,dst=:8083}
should work.

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried this with this line:../applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC http://streams.kpnwebcast.nl/cgi-bin/re ... live+radio --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:std{access=http,dst=:8083/}'


VLC picks up the stream fine:[0x673bf8] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (63 kb/s)
[0x673bf8] access_mms access: connection successful
but the bash says --sout: command not found

What could cause this?

Thanks again,

Paul
