How did you curl'd the live streams? Any special option or parameter that you  
had to insert? For example with the m3u8 links that were specified above, are  
you able to curl them?

[Trisquel-users] Watching live streaming video without Flash

I was really surprised that I couldn't find anything on this particular topic  
looking through the forum, nor my favorite search engine.


Was Free solution can I use in order to watch live streaming video such as  
thouse found on http://www.vipbox.tv ?


Any recommendations on getting it to play nice (or at all) with gnash or  
other options from the repository?

Is it possible to instead of using VLC to play the stream, use wget or curl  
to download the stream into a file? One that you could later (or in real  
time) play localy in your vlc or media player? If you try using wget or curl  
with that link it will just download the m3u8 file itself. Not the streaming  
content...
Would be nice to record live streamings, being able to replay a live feed for  
example.

When I want to see a sportsing event (baketball) I stream it with VLC. You  
need to find an address and you want to paste it in VLC (ctrl+v).


This page contains some addresses - http://iptv-zak.blogspot.it/

There are several websites like this one on the net. Problem is most  
streaming addresses change in a couple of days or weeks at most. The good  
thing is that those websites usually give you the latest addresses which  
should work.


Say you want to stream a foosball match. You need to know on which TV channel  
it is. Once you know the channel, you need to find the address of the channel  
and paste it in VLC.


Example - You find Barcellona vs Juventus is on Bein 1.

You paste this address in VLC and bring the popcorn.

A lot of the time you can't do it. However, usually you want to use something  
like UnPlug (an extension) to find an RTMP or RTSP link, and play that with  
VLC or Totem. Sometimes you have to change your user agent string to identify  
as an Android or iOS device to get such a link (use the User Agent Switcher  
extension to do this).

You are welcome! I would be interested too to know if it is possible to curl  
a stream.

Thanks for the reply :)
I know it can be done with mplayer and vlc. But I am really interested in  
learning how to do it with curl/wget.

Thanks anyway for your info :)

If anyone has knowledge about how to do it the way I intended please share :)

I cURL'd the Libreplanet 2015 streams.
A stream can also be dumped in VLC: Media -- Convert/Save...
Go to the network tab of the new dialog box, paste the URL in, then customize  
the encoding settings.

I have no idea how to do that with curl/wget. Not quite sure if you can do  
that at all. I know mplayer can, with the command mplayer -dumpstream  
streamurl  but I prefer VLC - you just enable the advanced controls in the  
view tab and start the stream and press the rec button (rec button again when  
you want to stop the recording).
