Guest cid Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 I know I can play this with Mplayer, and they play superbly well, very good buffering and everything else. But is there a way to save a stream? In Windows, there was an app called Hinet Recorder that could do this. Bascially, what I'd like to do as a command line representation (of course I'm ignoring all switches here, but you get the gist) Save the wvx to the local system. % mplayer stream1.wvx > stream1.wmv And have the linked wmv saved on the local machine.

mtweidmann Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 I know its a bit of a cheat but you could use a seperate recording app, something like krecord. Just set the correct channel to record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cid Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 I'll have to try it when I get home... It would appear that you can use a very simple mplayer switch(es): -dumpstream (MPLAYER only) Dumps the raw stream to ./:stream.dump. Useful when ripping from DVD or network. -dumpfile <filename> (MPLAYER only) Specify which file MPlayer should dump to. Should be used together with -dumpaudio / -dumpvideo / -dumpstream.

Guest SDMF Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest. Never used it before, but I've used -dumpaudio to save the audio track from video files. According to what the man page says, -dumpaudio should theoretically work for streams.

Guest cid Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Can't seem to get it to work yet... Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but using -dumpstream hasn't yielded me any saved files. I'll have to keep at it and update you. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
