Those pesky manifest.mpd URLs -- the noncompliant (unverifiable) ones, that is!
I go to great lengths to unchain myself from the browser. Can anyone recommend a concise wget command line that mimics Mozilla while retrieving a 150 to 300 KB file (via "links.txt)" roughly every three (3) seconds from a 24/7 live streaming site? Relevant URL: http://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/al/lossless/client_manifest.mpd Bonus challenge: hear one (1) hour of working, unbroken sound from the Beeb (BBC Radio 3 and her experimental FLAC stream) using wget. (Note: the .m4s file segments have a very short shelf life, i.e., < 10 mins). It may be closer to a < 5 min. shelf life. I couldn't be sure, as I was too busy clacking out my clunky command line(s). P.S. - If you're on anything more modern than Windows XP or Vista, you can simply plunk that .mpd URL into the latest VLC 3.0.0 nightly build, and VLC will do all the work -- but that's no fun!
