Help Finding Direct Stream URLs

[soxandpats84]

I'm trying to find the direct stream URLs of a couple different groups of radio stations. The first are those that use the Surfer Network streaming service. One example station if this is 95.1 WAYV. I have found a URL for the low quality stream: http://crystalout.surfernetwork.com:8001/WAYV_MP3

But their website player plays in much better (probably AAC) quality:

http://lightningstream.surfernetwork...00& call=WAYV

Unfortunately it's not as easy as just changing the end from WAYV_MP3 to WAYV_AAC

Another one are the Bell Media stations in Canada, for instance 104.5 CHUM-FM. Once again, I found the low quality stream: http://icecastsource2.amri.ca/chumfm-aac

But the one on their website is much higher quality: http://player.chumfm.com/

I've tried URL Snooper/URL Helper, but haven't gotten anywhere

Any help would be appreciated!

hi

first

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://rocket.surfernetwork.com:10000/live/wayv_aac" -o station1.flv

second

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://bmradio.fc.llnwd.net:1935/bmradio" -a "bmradio" -f "LNX 17,0,0,134" -W "http://proxy.amri.ca/sites/default/files/player/swf/player.swf" -p "http://player.chumfm.com/" --live -y "torochumf1045" -o "torochumf1045.flv"

I'm not familiar with how to use rtmpdump. Does that somehow find the URLs that are able to be played in winamp, etc?

Thanks!

rtmp://rocket.surfernetwork.com:10000/live/wayv_aac

The WAYV rtmp stream does not play in winamp for me.

The CHUM URL you found is of the same quality as I found, just plain 64k MP3, not the AAC (higher quality) that you get through their website player.

I guess stations are just trying to make this as difficult as possible.

rtmp link with vlc works

i know second low quality

[soxandpats84]

Found the link for CHUM-FM that will play in VLC

rtmp://bmradio.fc.llnwd.net:1935/bmradio//torochumf1045

Still would like to find the http address that will play in winamp, but it's a start.

Seems that maybe those stations' only direct URLs really are the RTMP streams now.

Can anyone give this iHeart radio one a shot?

It's the only iheart stream that I've come across that isn't in the usual xml list
