Is recording from an *.m3u stream possible?
Is there any sort of program (or simple set up) that will automatically record from a *.m3u stream at a particular hour? I.e. like a video recorder. I want to listen to British radio shows that are on at silly hours of the NZ morning: http://resonancefm.com/listen --Glyn
Is the show available as a podcast? You could use a program such as gpodder (or amarok) to download the podcast and replay it at your leisure. Failing that you could set up a cron using mencoder (part of mplayer, but a separate package in Debian and Ubuntu) to record the program, and use the endtime option to specific the length. -- simon 2009/4/1 Glyn Webster <glyn(a)wave.co.nz>:

That's the way I like to do things, but in this case there aren't podcasts for every show.

'mencoder' didn't seem to understand *.m3u playlists, but 'mplayer' did, and it can record (maybe via 'mencoder'). The magic line seems to be: mplayer -playlist WHEREVER.m3u -endpos HOWLONG -ao pcm:file=WHATEVER.wav -vc dummy -vo nul (The last few options are what I've used to copy tracks off my CDs. I don't remember what they mean.) I set it up to run with 'kcron' and it worked nicely! Thanks! --Glyn
