* is there a way to play this stream in GNU/Linux @ Gregory Nowak ` Toby Fisher ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 2 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Gregory Nowak @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I finally managed to get the slackware mplayer package working on my system. Given the fact that mplayer can play windows media streams, there is a local radio station which streams in windows media. However, they stream in a window in IE, and don't actually open windows media player. The URL that will take you to their stream is http://www.windy100.com/listen.php/ I've been trying to find a way to play this in the console under GNU/Linux, so that I would have one less thing that I need the other OS for, but so far no luck. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. It'll take somework, but if you use Links the chain, you might be able to figure out what kind of stream it is and set up a file assosciation - why they don't use mime types and mailcap is beyond me, but ... Anyway, I reckon that's your best bet, since it's a javascript link, the cat won't touch it.

I've tried links the chain, and the javascript does work. However, instead of getting a stream that I can pass to mplayer, I ultimately end up with a message telling me that they detected that I don't have the recommended version of windows media player, and that I should download that.

Nope that won't work. I tried it with the talking mozilla which is perfectly capable at reading javascript pages. No attempt at all was made to play the stream. So the only way you'll get this to work is if you download the javascript source and try to figure out what URL it's actually streaming the data from. Too many websites ar using these stupid embedded players to stream audio! It's getting to be more annoying all the time. I don't know why they don't have enough intelligence to just give you a link directly to the stream! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I opened the stream in the other OS, and ran tcpdump on my server to see what was happening in terms of the ip address and ports. The interesting thing is that the stream apparently comes from 66.250.188.214 on tcp port 80, with the destination address being the windows machine playing the stream with a destination port of 1079. There is also traffic going from my windows machine on port 80, to 66.250.188.214 port 1079. Going to 66.250.188.214 port 1079, doesn't give me anything, it looks like they have it firewalled off. However, pointing links/lynx to http://66.250.188.214 gives me the following message: video/x-ms-asf D)ownload, or C)ancel.

The file is actually a text file, and reads: [Reference] Ref1=http://192.168.100.122:80/ As you can see, the URL in that file is an internal class C IP address. So the idea is that IE downloads the file, which in turn somehow directs it to play the stream from the internal address. I can't think of a way to duplicate this, since there would be no difference as far as I can see between having the browser pass the file to mplayer, and me passing the already saved file to mplayer from the shell. I couldn't agree with you more, these ever increasing embedded players are very annoying. Greg On Mon, May 31, 2004 at 03:12:47PM -0700, David Csercsics wrote: > Nope that won't work.

So they're calling some windows-specific code to do the streaming form that internal IP I suspect that serverside scripts are handling some of that stuff. If I knew javascript I would take a peek at the javascript source to see if it sheds any light on this weird method for streaming audio but I don't understand a word of that language. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
