Recording online radio - examples

1. Capturing ASF radio with mimms (e.g. FM Ushiku)

Filename includes current date, duration of the program is 30min, and it is converted to mp3. After that mp3 file is copied to SMB share.

Capture script

#!/bin/sh

now=$(date +"%m_%d_%Y")

url="mmsh://211.1.40.21:80/fmuu?MSWMExt=.asf"

output_filename=Bridge_For_Joy_${now}
output_filename2=Bridge_For_Joy_${now}.mp3

output_dir=/home/onosan/BridgeForJoy/

mimms -t 35 $url $output_dir$output_filename
avconv -i $output_dir$output_filename $output_dir$output_filename2
cd $output_dir
smbclient //<SMB SHARE> <PASSWORD> -U <USERNAME> << SMBCLIENTCOMMANDS
cd <FOLDER>
put $output_filename2
exit
SMBCLIENTCOMMANDS

2. Capturing MP3 streaming radio with wget

Start capture script

#!/bin/sh

now=$(date +"%m_%d_%Y")

url="http://219.117.222.167:8020/giglive"

output_filename=DJ_J_${now}.mp3

output_dir=/home/username/DJJ/

wget -O "$output_dir$output_filename" $url

Stop capture script

#!/bin/sh
pkill wget

3. Crontab entries example

0 9 * * 4 /home/username/DJJStop
13 13 * * 3 /home/username/mimms_capture
