Hi Lawrence Thanks for this, both the ABC streaming site and ffplay. I was able to listen to the two classical streams via browser or VLC. Also a detailed programme listing for their classic FM stream. http://www.abc.net.au/classic/music-listings/ I tried to use ffplay, but couldn't decipher the syntax and options to use it successfully. Can you let me know the command to use, and/or a user-friendly manual or Howto for ffplay. A way of finding direct-streaming URLs without using Pandora or a similar service would also be welcome. Thankls again Rod On 1 January 2017 at 22:51, Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> wrote:
Currently listening to Sydney’s TripleJ radio station using the ffplay utility (part of FFmpeg). For anybody else who wants to listen without having to go through a web browser, ABC helpfully provide a list of direct-streaming URLs for their stations at <https://radio.abc.net.au/help/streams>.
ffplay reports some interesting additional details about the stream:
Metadata: icy-notice1 : <BR>This stream requires <a href=" http://www.winamp.com">Winamp</a><BR> icy-notice2 : SHOUTcast DNAS/posix(linux x64) v2.4.7.256<BR> icy-name : Triple J NSW icy-genre : Misc icy-br : 64 icy-url : http://www.abc.net.au/radio icy-pub : 0
In other words, they seem to be streaming from a Linux server, but their recommendation is for a client that doesn’t run on Linux... _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
