Hey all,
I've found a little problem with listening to BBC Radio stations, and
possibly others online.
Normally I feed Rhythmbox the URL for the stream and listen live
through it, but apparently they've changed something and now those
URLs are 404ing on me. There doesn't seem to be any sign of new ones,
and what's more the website wants the iPlayer, which I've yet again
tried to get working on Arch, and yet again found it's a fairly lost
cause.
I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any new URLs I can give
Rhythmbox to get it working again, or if anyone knew of an
iPlayer-less nice and simple way to get access to them without all the
hassle.
Hi-
Haven't tried for a while, but it used to be that you could switch to
the "Low Bandwidth" version of iPlayer using the link, and then it would
contain in the source a link to a .ram file. You could then do "mplayer
-playlist <url_to_RAM_file>" and that would work.
There's also get_iplayer in AUR, but that is not for live streams AFAIK.
All the best,
John
