Help finding direct links to audio streams of Egyptian and Jordanian radios

[George_C]

Hi folks,

I would appreciate if someone could help me identify the direct audio links for two Middle Eastern public broadcasting entities. I would like to be able to play them through VLC or such desktop player, rather than players embedded in websites.

These entities are ERTU (Egyptian Radio TV Union) and JRTV (Jordanian Radio TV). There are 9 audio streams on the ERTU website and 3 audio streams on the JRTV website. I suspect that getting the direct link to a single stream from each entity would allow me to decode the others.

Here are the URLs of the players for the 9 ERTU streams and 3 JRTV audio streams:

ERTU:
http://ertu.org/1/radioShabab.asp Youth and Sports
http://ertu.org/1/radioAam.asp General Programming
http://ertu.org/1/radioquran.asp Religious
http://ertu.org/1/radioarab.asp Sawt el Arab (Voice of Arabs)
http://ertu.org/1/radioshrkawst.asp Shark el Awsat (Middle East )
http://ertu.org/1/radiothakafya.asp Cultural Channel
http://ertu.org/1/radioMusicProg.asp Music Channel
http://ertu.org/1/radioOropi.asp European Language Channel (offline from 2-6 am Egypt time)
http://ertu.org/1/radioKiswahili.asp Kiswahil


JRTV:

http://www.jrtv.jo/page.aspx?page_key=key_fm Amman FM
http://www.jrtv.jo/page.aspx?page_key=key_forgin Foreign (English broadcasts)
Interestingly and strangely, JRTV uses video players to broadcast their audio streams.

Needless to say, I tried everything I could think of to identify the direct links. These strategies include examining the source code, URL snooper, Relay Media Player and Wireshark. In the case of Wireshark, I fully recognize that I don’t know how to use it properly in spite of following several online tutorials.
