Radio streams often blend songs, change the splitpoint, or other vagaries so that my captured songs are often truncated or "run together". For this reason whenever I use streamripper I always use the splitpoint offset option (--xs_offset=3000) and also buffer the beginning and ends of songs (--xs_padding=2500:2500) to make sure the entire song is captured. (I later edit the captured songs with Audacity.) My streamripper command therefore is:

streamripper --xs_offset=3000 --xs_padding=2500:2500

Would you mind adding the --xs_offset and --xs_padding options to the RecordStream script?

I love RecordStream (and use it with Amarok 2.5/KDE 4.8 in Kubuntu 12.04 without other problems).

Hi, I really love this little script, voted up, use it often. Unfortunately after update to Amarok 2.5 almost none of the scripts are working any longer. With the new Amarok release I deleted all seetings and stuff from ~/.kde4/subfolders and pulled in the scripts I like and use but seams non of them really work with Amarok 2.5 any more. Even though in scripts management the ones are marked active but there no entries in Setting or Extra pull down menus so its not even recognised by Amarok anymore. Very sad now...

Hi,

which QT version is used?
In version 4.8 the qt-script-engine is broken.

See: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=98488

thanks for the hint. nevertheless, I am at openSUSE 12.1 standard installation which uses qt 4.7.4. Was discussed in openSUSE forum as well and it seams that SUSE's KDE updated apps package as well as the Packman package of Amarok 2.5 is built against qt vers. 4.8. I downgraded to Amarok 2.4.3 until this is resolved...

Radiostations from http://1club.fm/ fails to be recorded with the following message:

/bin/bash: line 3: kill: (9) - Operation not permitted

error -6 [SR_ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME]

However, that station can be succesfully recorded with streamripper.

Though it's possible to start recording, following next steps:
1. playlist have two radiostations from 1club.fm;
2. first radiostation is played;
3. record was started.

After the start of the record another entry appears in playlist with the radiostation different from previous stations and playback switched to that station.

No, this has not helped. Only working if any item in playlist (not necessary radiostation) exist after the radio station item. Maybe it's Amarok bug. I'm using version 2.3.1.

I have problem with CUE file.

When I open it it looks like this:

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "��E"
PERFORMER "��I"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "��M"
PERFORMER "��H"
INDEX 01 02:33:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "��L"
PERFORMER "��C"
INDEX 01 08:15:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "��T"
PERFORMER "��P"
INDEX 01 12:07:00

How to fix this?

Amarok 2.2.2, KDE 4.4 RC1

The CUE data comes from the radio station. Maybe the used charset is another charset than yours.

Hi,

Why does Amarok display the correct track information and the queue file does not?

Its happening to all stations that I have tested with.

Hi,

I have a problem that when I enable the script Amarok takes about one minute to quit with 100% cpu usage. If I disable the script then Amarok closes normally again. This only started happening with the 0.2.0 version (sorry I didn't report it sooner!) and there were no problems with the previous version.

Currently using Amarok 2.2 but saw the same issue previous versions.

Thanks for your great script!

I don't know the cause. I've tested the script with Amarok 2.2 (Gentoo) and Amarok 2.1 (openSuse). But always amarok ends normal.

Actually today I updated to the new version of the script and also to kde 4.3.2 and the "problem" has disappeared. Very strange, I don't know what cured it, but it's working fine now.

Cheers and thanks for your work!

const MUSIC_PATH should default to XDG_MUSIC_DIR or be configurable at install - the creation of ~/Music by the script if not existing is confusing and not proper

Config option to set the path manually would be the best solution.
In my case it is ~/MyMusic from systemsettings, but I would like to save the streams in a subfolder called "Streams".

Thanks a lot for this plugin. It's practical to be able to start streamripper from within Amarok.

A note: I have no idea what the command 'kill %' is supposed to do. What it _doesn't_ do is kill of the streamripper instance. I changed it to 'killall streamripper' (and threw the mplayer option out). Killall is the brutal way, but at least port 8017 is definitely free afterwards.
Where did you find out how to use 'callerProc'? Google is most unhelpful. If I knew how to get at the output of the commands the plugin sends to bash, the plugin could be spiced up quite a bit...

Kill % terminates the last job.
This assumes, bash version 3.x ist used.
But you use a another shell?

qprocess: Thanks a lot, will play with it as soon as I have time.
kill:
$>bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
The problem is this:
$> ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-08-01 21:39 /bin/sh -> dash
(Debian switched to dash as standard shell a short while ago.)
If you want to use bash specific features, it would be better to change the line in main.js to 'callerProc.start("/bin/bash");'

It is working great! I found that this script adds 4 new menu entries in Tools menu of which 'Record webradio' saves each song to a separate mp3 file - i was a little confused at first which menu command to execute, although its probably obvious enough.

Thanks a lot!
