phunni Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Is it possible to record audio that is streamed from the interent via something like reaplplayer? If so, can it also be recorded onto something other than my hard disk? I regularly listen to English Premiership Rugby via the internet and it would be quite helpful if I could sometimes record a game. The reason I ask about something other than my hard disk is simply that I don't have all that much space on my hard drive and I expect that 80+ minutes of audio would take up quite a bit fo space :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 If you don't want to record to your hard drive then the simplest thing would be to hook up an cassette recorder to you audio out port and simply use the cassette to record. Or, for a more high tech solution, plug-in a mini disk unit and record to that. Otherwise, you are going to have to record to your hard drive. The low tech solution is to take the audio out of your sound card and loop that back through the mic in and then record. (Really bad solution here) If you have access to a windows computer (yea, I know, I know) there is a piece of software called Total Recorder that can basically record anything from any source. There must be an equal solution for Linux, I just don't know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jwl Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 There is an output plugin for XMMS called "Disk Writer" that takes whatever is played and records it to a .wav file in the appropriate directory. It definitely won't work on RealAudio, but it does work on streaming mp3 or ogg (or anything else that will play in XMMS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted April 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Turns out that I can record to a hard drive as I have a USB hard drive that I can mount very easily - I thought that it wouldn't work for some reason. It has to be via realplayer as this is the only format I can get these streams in - I can't listen to the rugby any other way that I am aware of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manly Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 If you take a look at the contrib packages, there is a program for recording RealAudio Streams. I forget what it's called, but it's there for sure. Also, you could use a loopback device to pipe the sound back into a program that converts the stream to OGG or MP3 on the fly. --Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 How about this: http://streamripper.sourceforge.net I haven't yet tried it myself, but it sounds pretty cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted April 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Streamripper sounds like it is for MP3. I looked in contrib and plf and found realrekord in plf which may be a solution. I also need some way of setting what time it should start/finish recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrekula Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 It seems like Realrekord should do the job. You will find it at the PLF site. You can schedule recordings with it too. I had to start it with "artsdsp realrekord" so that Realplayer would get access to the sound driver in KDE. /Kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted April 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hmmm - it looks like realrekord isn't finished enough yet :( If I try to run a shceduled recording I am told that it's not implemented yet, and if I try a straight recording then I get audio via realplayer, but nothing is recorded. It looks like a good solution though - I'm not sure if it's not ready yet - or if I'm doing something wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 This may be an obvious statement, but if your sound driver or soundcard doesn't support true duplex, then you won't be able to record something being played by your soundcard (I think I'm right, anyway).

hea Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 What about "streamer" located on one of the MDK cds. I tried it once but i newer figured it out. Maybe someone has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Isn't this supposed to be possible with the -dumpstream argument in mplayer? I have tried it, but have never been able to get it to work myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted April 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 This may be an obvious statement, but if your sound driver or soundcard doesn't support true duplex, then you won't be able to record something being played by your soundcard (I think I'm right, anyway). It probably is obvious - but it didn't occur to me I am using the es1371 driver - is this fully duplex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crescendo Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Version 0.8 loaded. It records streaming from realplayer but the play is at 1/3 of the real speed. Anyone knows the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 if you are using aRts you can record real audio streams using Krec. It's been a while since I did it so I don't remember all the details but I could get it done after reading the tutorial that comes with Krec and guessing a few settings. Realplay needs to be playing through aRts; if it is not, you can make it use aRts by starting it from a console using soundwrapper realplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
