I want to record the cricket from Five Live Sports Extra overnight so that I can listen to it tomorrow without a net connection.
I have installed get_iplayer
(and mplayer
and ffmpeg
and lame
).
I am having trouble understanding the manual.
I am using this command to record from Five Live (as Sports Extra is not broadcasting at this minute)
get_iplayer --liveradiomode realaudio2 --pid radio:bbc_radio_five_live --force
The --liveradiomode
parameter is ignored, whatever I put there. get_iplayer
attempts to download using flashaacstd1
before downloading using realaudio1
... but this downloads a 16second message informing me that the RealAudio stream no longer works.
I am using get_iplayer version 2.66-1, as packaged in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.
Edit: This command is working for me to record Five Live:
get_iplayer --liveradiomode flashaac --amode=wma1 --pid radio:bbc_radio_five_live
So, problem solved :-)
