 |
|
Is there any way to listen to real audio streams (specifically BBC radio) by using a console - ie, so I don't have to install xorg on my server? I mainly want it so that I can then remote control it from a web browser, but I can code that bit.

Mplayer. I've got it playing right now: | Code: | | mplayer -cache 100 -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.ram |
If I remember correctly, I did have to download some Real codecs from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html, and install them, because the ones included when emerging gave a very choppy sound. Now it works like a charm.
And don't forget to put "network" in your USE flags.

Thanks - that works.
However, I get some clicks on it quite often. I've tried it with two computers and I get the same on both - do you know how to solve this. Using the realplayer gui program I don't get any of this clicking, so I assume it must be mplayer.

Bump - any ideas on how to fix the sound quality - the clicks can get really annoying, and there seem to be more when people are talking.

Uhm... did you try downloading and installing the codecs as I suggested?

Sorry, I was being a bit of an idiot - didn't read that bit.
Anyway, I downloaded both the essential codecs pack and the rp9 codecs from the mplayer site, and placed all of the files in the /usr/local/lib/codecs folder as they suggested. However, it still doesn't work.
I had to create the folder /usr/local/lib/codecs - should they be placed somewhere else? Do I have to edit a config file somewhere to tell mplayer to look for those codecs?

OK, I fixed it. For the benefit of others and searching I will outline what I did:
I downloaded the realplayer 9 codecs from the mplayer site. You can get them here. Extract these and copy all of the files to /usr/lib/real (create the directory if it doesn't exist).
That should now work as mplayer first checks /usr/lib/real for the codecs (it tells me it is using /usr/lib/real/cook.so.6.0).

Hei Rafje
This worked fine for me today until I upgraded win32codecs to version 20040916.. had to go back a version.
Btw do you have command lines for other BBC streams?
The following one works ok but a few others I tried didn't
| Code: | | mplayer -cache 100 -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/realmedia/1xtralive.ram |
regards
[/code]
