cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

It seems as though CBS is slowly moving all its radio stations to stream through . These are streams that are hidden behind a Flash player and I haven't been able to figure out what the direct URL for the stream is in order to record it.

Has anyone come across these streams yet, and do you know how to find out the URL?

Here's an example:

Recording Icecast mpeg audio stream from CBS online radio

 

I couldn't get the URL with URL Snooper so I used Proxomitron. Its log window showed the following:
So we have an Icecast stream with the following URL
Only use the username and password values that you see in your log window of Proxomitron instead of YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_PASSWORD above.

Icecast stream can be recorded by many media stream recorders and audio stream rippers.

I was able to record with Replay A/V, NetTransport and HiDownload, for example.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

This is awesome. Thank you so much!

I've also been introduced, thanks to the you, to the absolutely terrific Replay A/V. I just downloaded it and it's a great little program.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

If you want to download Icecast/Shoutcast streams only, you may use a free audio stream ripper like StreamRipper.

Replay A/V is great and easy to use. And it can record almost any audio/video stream. I wish it was as powerful as WM Recorder when recording Windows Media audio/video streams and RealAudio/Video streaming.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I like Replay A/V. It does the trick for me and since I do a lot of recording anyway it will probably work out for me.

I have another question though: Is there a way to play these streams in an audio player and not have to go through theirs? None of my players seem to be able to recognize this link.

Players supporting Icecast MP3 audio streaming

 

I use winamp to play any music. There are some other players that support Shoutcast/Icecast streaming like FreeAmp or XMMS. You may find the list of players at Icecast.org .

Re: Players supporting Icecast MP3 audio streaming

 

Winamp doesn't seem to be recognizing that link. I'm getting an HTTP/1.0 800 Bad Request message. I guess I'll have to try one of those other players.

Re: Players supporting Icecast MP3 audio streaming

 

The list of media players can be found at
www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php

Winamp 5 and Winamp 2.95, MPlayer didn't work for me with this stream. VLC got network packets from the server, but no audio signal was coming through my sound card.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Would anyone be able to get the info needed to stream the radio station KROQ on winamp?

The url to the flash player is:

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I just figured out KROQ and CBSPlayer's technology.
They use IceCast hidden in a flash embeded program. Basically it seems Streamtheworld uses opensource software to provide a service. Nice way to make money! :D

Anyway, I'm playing KROQ on Quicktime on my Mac by using:
icy://64.235.213.12/KROQFM

icy is the protocol for Icecast. If Winamp has a plugin, it should work too.
You should be able to run this on Windows Media player. I tried that and it worked for me.

change icy:// onto http:// and record with any icecast/shoutcast recorder

 

That was really helpful. I've changed icy:// onto http:// and was able to record it with any Shoutcast/Icecast recorder I have tried including WM Recorder (doesn't have song splitting), Replay A/V and StreamRipper.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Interesting about KROQ. If you enter that icy:// URL into your browser it'll open Winamp and play. If you change icy:// to http:// and enter in Windows Media Player it will play.

How come that doesn't work though for other stations? I tried entering http://64.235.213.41/WCBSAM for WCBS and http://64.235.213.11/WFANAM for WFAN but neither of those worked with either the http:// or the icy://. How did you find that out for KROQ?

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I just know that icy:// and http:// is the same. It is like unsv:// and http:// .

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Actually, what he meant was not how you knew to change icy to http but why on earth a URL in this format works for KROQ but not for other streams from these guys (WCBS-AM, WFAN-AM, WINS-AM). I have the same issue: I can stream KROQ this way, no problem. But if I substitute the proper IP address and callsign for, say, WINS, the stream will not open. If I type any of these URLs into IE, IE offers to download the streaming .MP3 file, so I know that WINS & KROQ are at least configured similarly enough, location- and streamtype-wise, but KROQ will open in WMP and Winamp and any number of other players, but WINS will not.

Further ideas?

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Icecast can stream MP3, AAC, RealAudio AAC ... and may be even more these days. And say streamripper wasn't able to record RealAudio AAC streams. And I bet most of Shoutcast/Icecast rippers won't be able to record even regular AAC streaming.

links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

 

You may get direct links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

Re: links to WINS, WCBS from free Replay Media Guide

 

Which doesn't really answer the question, does it? Furthermore, those links don't work EITHER. Can anyone explain why one can't get one of these stations (other than KROQ, apparently) to simply PLAY in WMP or Winamp instead of streamtheworld's rotten Flash player?

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I knew the IP address for the stream because when I went to the radio station's website and played it on Firefox, I kept seeing that IP being refreshed and then when I unearthed the URL address it worked better for Quicktime on my Mac.

For Windows, it seemed to work better using the URL:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/asx/KROQFM.asx

Perhaps this URL will fix the issue for use with other radio stations.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Nope. Doesn't work at all with WINSAM. Same deal, in fact.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Why playing in the WMP? Just record the audio stream with Replay A/V

 

Why should it be played with the WMP?
It can be recorded with software like Replay A/V. What else do you really need?

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

What *I* need is the ability to LISTEN to the stream live without launching the stinking Flash player on their website. Continuing to post the same URL that does NOT work to do so or to ask "why" does nothing to answer the question.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

The URL I posted works great for me for WINSAM. I even tried it on a different computer. I'm not sure why your computer doesnt accept it.

Have you tried alternative players already?

 

Oh, really? So why do you ask your question in the streaming audio recording forum then? :D

The only thing I can suggest is to try alternative players like VLC, MPLayer or any other.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

What about
http://cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com/?CALLSIGN=KCBSFM

I tried icy://64.235.213.12/KCBSFM but that returns a 404 error.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Crazibri: The WINSAM URL will PLAY on WMP on your PCs?!? If you can confirm that, I wonder if you could assist me with some comparisons your systems vs. mine to see if we can figure out the whys and wherefores...

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I'm trying to get KCBSFM (93.1 JackFM Los Angeles) and I cant get it to stream in Quicktime.

I show the server as 64.235.213.21:80/KCBSFM. I've tried icy:// and http:// but both come back. When I play http://cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com/?CALLSIGN=KCBSFM and check netstat, it comes back using that IP for receiving the data.

The IP is different than KROQ (12 vs 21).

Anyone have any luck?

ps http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/asx/KCBSFM.asx file shows this as a valid IP too.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

It seems like the KROQ link stopped working for trying to play it in WMP, winamp, vlc, etc...
It still works online fine at http://cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com/?CALLSIGN=KROQFM

and I analyzed the stream info and its still the same as before, which is:
http://64.235.213.12/KROQFM?streamtheworld_user=1

When I try to play the stream in winamp as usual, it not returns the error "[FLV □□]"
Not sure what this means, though FLV usually means Flash Video, so maybe there is something detecting its not being played in the flash player on the website?

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I'm finding now that Replay A/V isn't even able to pick the stream URL for WCBS or WINS like it used to. I click on "Stream Capture" and then play the stream from the website and I get the URL for all the ads but not for the stream itself.

Recording WCBS and WINS radio stations with Replay A/V

 

I was able to record the following WCBS and WINS stations with Replay A/V (the links were found with built-in Replay Media Guide)
-WCBS 101.1 FM New York, NY
-WCBS 880 AM New York, NY
-WCBS Newsradio
-WINS 1010 AM New York, NY
-WINS Headlines Updated Daily

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Same here Strike.
I've been playing with it on Quicktime and it still doesnt work. I've tried a few different things and still no solution. I'll let you know if I find something. WMP10 same thing.

I just checked out the data I get back from the HTTP get request:

curl http://64.235.213.12/KROQFM

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I also found this:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/KROQFM.pls
Its the same as the asx link I gave previously.
Same results, it still doesnt work on WMP or Quicktime.
When I open the pls in iTunes, it plays and rebuffers a lot, so thats a start.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I *said* there was something fishy going on with these URLS...

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I've been recording Kevin & Bean on KROQ since May 23rd with Replay AV (7.20) and I haven't had any problems until yesterday. The recordings from Monday and Tuesday came out garbled.

Luckily, I discovered tonight that mp3Direct can re-encode the files, but I was wondering if there is anything that I need to change in my Replay AV settings? This is the URL that I have been using: http://64.235.213.12/KROQFM?streamtheworld_user=1&NOBUF=1165964154328&u sername="e-mail address"&password="my password". Let me know if anyone finds a new URL to use.

Here is the audio that Replay AV records: Original Replay Audio


Here is the audio after mp3Direct re-saves the file: mp3Direct Re-save


Does anyone have any ideas?

Recording radio shows from KROQ 106.7 FM Los Angeles, CA

 

I tested your URL with Replay A/V 8 and I really received a garbled audio file.

Then I used Replay Media Guide and founded the following URL
http://64.235.213.12/KROQFM?streamtheworld_user=1
for the KROQ 106.7 FM Los Angeles, CA.

The audio stream from the latter URL was recorded without any problem.

Re: Recording radio shows from KROQ 106.7 FM Los Angeles, CA

 

I tired that URL and this is what was recorded (still garbled):

Recorded mp3

I'll try and use Replay AV 8 (demo) to see if I can get it to record normally.

[edit]Nope, this is what I got with Replay A/V 8 (it's actually worse):

Recorded mp3

I should also say that other stations record normally, it is just KROQ that is garbled.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

I don't record streams but listen to it. I do that with Screamer Radio (www.screamer-radio.com) you can also record streams with this software. But I noticed some stuttering streams at the moment from the CBS streams. How is that possible and is there a way to fix this?

Re: Recording radio shows from KROQ 106.7 FM Los Angeles, CA

 

Do you have the same problem when listening to this Shoutcast MP3 stream? If not please also try to record with other Shoutcast rippers. Many of them are free.

New version of Replay A/V will work fine with these streams

 

The new version of Replay A/V that is about to be released to the public works well with these new FLV encoded streamtheworld radio streams. It can properly stream-capture these station types as .FLV files, and they can be converted using the built-in Replay Converter to MP3 or other audio types.

Some stations that stream this way include:
KROQ
KYXY
KFROG

The new version of Replay A/V will also locate the stream URL for these station types.

Re: cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com - Record CBS radio online (Icecast MP3 audio stream)

 

Why Replay A/V? I'm not interested in rip streams, I would like to listen to the streams. Is there another player who works with streamtheworld streams?
