Comments on: Convert Realaudio stream to wav / mp3 on linux http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/127.html Titanium Exposé Mon, 02 Jul 2018 13:54:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Jon http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/127.html/comment-page-1#comment-8104 Jon Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:36:34 +0000 #comment-8104 Hi, I found an archive of an old radio show I want to listen to, but it’s only available in “.smil” . These streams are playable in Real Player, but extremely slow to load. I’d like to convert these to .mp3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

ffmpeg -i input.rm output.wav

OR

ffmpeg -i input.rm output.mp3 ( you must install LAME)

For example, this one:
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/10days/day5audiobda.rm?BBC-UID=442ac8cfcb223134814687d0e155a1ce83e3d037700001af72f9e03c3140af02&SSO2-UID=

works in totem and media player but not in this script. Any clue why?

# mkfifo stream.wav

# mplayer mplayer -ao pcm:file=stream.wav rtsp://XXXX/stream.rm &

# lame stream.wav

# rm stream.wav

mkfifo create a socalled ‘named pipe’ (see http://www2.linuxjournal.com/article/2156 for a tutorial). mplayer writes to that pipe while lame (at the same time) reads from it and encodes the file on the fly.
