Comments on: Record Streaming Audio with Linux: Part I http://walkingtowel.org/2006/02/28/record-streaming-audio-with-linux-part-i/ by Shawn Dowler Sat, 17 Dec 2011 11:07:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Shawn Dowler http://walkingtowel.org/2006/02/28/record-streaming-audio-with-linux-part-i/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Shawn Dowler Tue, 15 Jul 2008 09:30:45 +0000 http://walkingtowel.org/2006/02/28/record-streaming-audio-with-linux/#comment-23 I have never tried to do any of this on a hosted linux environment, so it would all depend on the restrictions they have in place. If all you use MPlayer for is this one isolated case, then there may be better tools that are smaller and easier to get going. Make sure whatever you do that you start with the <a href="http://walkingtowel.org/2006/03/03/record-streaming-audio-with-linux-part-ii/" rel="nofollow">updated script</a> since it uses far less disk space. I would look into what format the streaming audio is sent in and see if a lighter tool than MPlayer could capture that data for you. If you have any specific questions or want to provide more details about what you have available on your Linux hosting account, then just let me know and I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Information that may be helpful: is it a shared hosting account or do you get at least a virtual dedicated server where a full-blown linux distro is available and you have root access?

For example i want to automate a recording from station then make it be stored in a specific folder, to be listen to by viewers on the site at a later date. I am assuming i can install mplayer and the other parts into the directory on the webserver and beging from there and run a cron job from there etc.. it would be really helpful if you could help, thanks!!
