Icecast - Oct 2004 - Archiving live streams broken down by time.

With all of your help, I've got Ices & Icecast producing live streams
for
the internet.

 

Is there a way that I can save an archive file by a time span; for example
we have two radio shows that we want to have daily archives on the website,
one that is from 7:30am to 8:00am and one that is from 3:00pm to 3:30pm.  Is
there a way that they could be saved with a different filename each day.
Ex.  OpenLine093004.ogg for the first show and SportsShow093004.ogg for the
second show.  Then have the next day saved with the following date.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Marion

you could use a cronjob - the first cronjob starts a shell script at 
3:00; the shell script generates the filename from the current date and 
time (i.e. OpenLine09001.ogg) and starts dumping the stream (i.e. with 
wget). at 3:30 you start another cronjob which kills wget.

One way to do it would be to run jack as a sound daemon, then use the
jackified version of ices to make the stream, and have a script which
kicks off a recording session using ecasound every 30 minutes.

But if you're happy to record the sessions at the same bitrate you're
streaming at, the other poster's solution with wget might be better.

I believe that's going to work.  Here are the commands I used:

wget -O /var/mp3/openline-`date +%m-%d-%Y`.ogg
http://localhost:8000/kwlv.ogg

& 

start-stop-daemon --stop -n wget

I've got the cron jobs set to the times of the shows and I'll find out
tomorrow if it works.

Thanks for your help

That worked great.

Thanks,
