Scheduling recording of a url stream

Hey everyone,

To say I'm a noob, may be an overstatement.

Has anyone written a step by step guide on how the heck you can write a script, or use a utility or whatever, to record a internet stream that plays weekly?

I've been looking around on google, and youtube and I can't find any sort of utility that actually works.


This is what, personally, I am/have been looking for.
I want to record " http://128.100.197.46:80/ " as an mp3, every Tuesday morning from 6:30 AM - 9:00 AM. Saving the mp3 to my downloads folder. It'd be awesome if the pc could wake up from sleep to record then go back to sleep after.

any ideas... or answers... or even a youtube walkthrough for something similar to it?


Thanks Guys

The Interface script Scheduler can be further improved to support selected days of the week.
At the moment the solution for you would be to use VLC with its command line options in task scheduler in your OS. The Stream wizard (Media > Stream...) can help you with the CLI.

Code: Select all

"vlc.exe" http://128.100.197.46/ :sout=#duplicate{dst=file{dst="D:\rec.mp3"},dst=display} :stop-time=9000 vlc://quit
You can also have OS date&time in output filename. Just search related VLC forums or Google.

I have the same question. Did you ever find a working solution for this?
Thanks.

I too am interested to see if anyone else got this to work. Similar to the OP, I'm trying to convert the following stream into a file. I had luck with the GUI, but no dice with CLI.
