Script to record internet radio

[Zack63]

My first "project" with vlc was to create a script that can be started at a particular time of the day to record a radio show (talk radio). Finding the right syntax was a little tricky, so I thought I would post my results for anyone looking for such an application. VLC will record for 176 seconds before exiting.

Code: Select all

#/bin/bash date=`date +"%a_%b_%I%M"` newFile=radio_$date ext=m4a rm -f $newFile.$ext /c/Program\ Files/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe \ 'mms://citadelcc-wjr-am.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_wjr_am' \ -I no_gui \ --run-time=176 \ vlc://quit \ --sout='#'transcode'{'acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100'}':duplicate'{'dst=std'{'access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:/A_Mike/vlc_record/$newFile.$ext'}}'

Macvide Audio Recorder is not free - this is not good. Also VLC can much more.
