Record Clear Channel radio stations (iheartradio.com)

Re: Record Clear Channel radio stations (iheartradio.com)

Hi guys,

I'm facing an interesting problem here...
If I use rtmpdump with the -o switch, its all OK. I've done a "quick" test, I ended up with over 11 hours of recorded stuff in an FLV file over 300 MB. Playable with VLC.
HOWEVER using piping to VLC something nasty happens.
At first.. it just won't work.. VLC shows up but seem to do nothing.. If I press stop then play again.. it DOES recognise (sometimes) that it shall deal with a stream from fd://0, on the statistics page it displays the average ibtrate, etc... on the codec info page it says the stream has an MP4A stuff in there with an AAC codec... but still, no sound at all.
Lists up 6,10,12,16, sometimes even 32 audio tracks, all of them seems dumb upon selection.
Checking the debug messages it seems VLC has a problem on guessing what kinda codec to use.. I think it falls back to something thta is just not appropriate for decoding the stream.

Having a REALLY old cellphone I really need to re-stream iHeart to it in a proper format. And I need VLC for that. So.. please help me!

Thanks

it looks like most of the Clear Channel stations have been solved because there is a format like this:

_http://www.surfmusic.de/media/kiis-fm.m3u (KIIS-FM-102.7 Los Angeles)
_http://www.surfmusic.de/media/whtz-fm.m3u (WHTZ-FM-100.3 Z100 New York)
_http://www.surfmusic.de/media/kfi-am.m3u (KFI-AM-640 Los Angeles)

put your station call letters in the appropriate place and run thru VLC Player and then go to "Media Information" tab and it will give you the akamai stream...
==========================

for people trying to record Dave Ramsey or Coast to Coast, maybe i'm missing something but just go to StreamingRadioGuide.com or a similar site that will list the many stations that carry and stream those shows and find a station that freely gives out their URL location - for Coast to Coast there's KSFO 560 AM just off the top of my head but many more i'm sure and then use something like Tapin Radio to schedule recording...idk, maybe i'm not seeing what the problem is...

I was looking for info on how to capture the iheartradio streams and man you saved me a lot of time and probably money too.Thanks for people like you bro.I registered in the forum not only for the info but mainly to thank you and the guys that make all this possible.I know your post is old and hope some day you can see that what you did means a lot to other people.
