Subject: [ubuntu-uk] BBC Click includes Ubuntu


The recent weekend TV program of BBC Click was devoted to Open source,
Ubuntu, an an interview with Mark Shuttleworth.
I  can manage to get it to play using Real player, but I cannot think
of how to capture the stream to view it later.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/
('watch now')

Any ideas please?

I found this website that mentions a mozilla add-on that is meant to allow
the downloading of a video being watched -

I haven't had a chance to test it yet though.

I'm trying to dump the WMV stream with Mplayer.  Then in theory I should 
be able to re-encode it into AVI format with Mencoder.

The command line I'm using to dump the stream is:

mplayer 
http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms2/news/n5ctrl/tvseq/od/bbc1/bb/wm/video/click_bb.wmv 
-dumpstream -dumpfile dump.wmv


Then I'm hoping that this will work to encode it into AVI:

mencoder dump.wmv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o encodedvideo.avi

I haven't however got the whole stream dumped yet though so it may not work.

Anyway, for future reference there is a link on the Ubuntu forums with 
regards to converting video files here: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2810792

Ta,

Rob

 I don't think firefox speaks RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), so
 you need to use an app that does. As per previous responses in this
 thread mplayer is a good choice for this.

 http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/news/n5ctrl/tvseq/od/bbc1/bb/wm/video/click_bb.wmv
 
 Will allow you to download it to your hard drive..

In my case firefox has a player installed for wmv files and starts to 
play this stream in the browser.  All I see is the tail end of a bbc 
weather forcast.  Just the bbc weather logo and about 5 seconds of 
sound.  Then nothing.

wget doesn't get much.

Can anyone up the ante with a better URL or an alternate method to 
view/download Click?  (ubuntu 7.04 FF)

 
 Thanks.. Alex.

None of the other video channels/stories work.

The method using mplayer elsewhere in this thread (See Alan Pope's
email for complete instructions) worked for me (and others).

Below is my ~/bin/record-real-media script for recording realplayer

-really-quiet options because I usually use it in an at job.)

Open it using the Windows Media Player.. You will get a .asx file, go to 
the source, copy the URL, download that file.. (Using 'File - Save Page 
As..').. Then open it up in your favourite text editor, (it is just an 
XML file), then copy the URL of the .wmv file.. Open it up again in 
firefox and use 'File - Save Page As.. again and you have the stream :)

Hi Alan,

Try this instead:

mplayer -playlist
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.ram


Alternatively, download the ram file:
wget 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.ram
And try mplayer'ing the filename inside it:

mplayer 
rtsp://rmgeo.bbc.net.uk/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/world/video/98000/bb/98711_16x9_bb.rm

I don't think firefox speaks RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), so
you need to use an app that does. As per previous responses in this
thread mplayer is a good choice for this.

Is that a general feature of rtsp (i.e. rtsp is http + support for

To my knowledge it needs a Webserver to work across http.. this site 
does though.. so I took advantage..

[ubuntu-uk] BBC Click includes Ubuntu

2007-06-10 Thread alan c
The recent weekend TV program of BBC Click was devoted to Open source, 
Ubuntu, an an interview with Mark Shuttleworth.
I  can manage to get it to play using Real player, but I cannot think 
of how to capture the stream to view it later.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/
('watch now')

Any ideas please?

Ah there's a simple trick to that.
You need mplayer.
Then you find the address of the actual feed and check it plays in mplayer
If it does (it should do) then add -dumpstream on the command line.
You may also want to add -dumpfile FILETOSAVETO
If you don't it will save it in a file with dump in the name (I forget
the exact name).

Be warned the BBC prevent streaming faster than you can watch so
mplayer will take roughly the same amount of time as the clips length
to download the file.

As always for more info see: man mplayer

I find this ironic:
Most computer tasks can be achieved by using completely free software,
 reports BBC Click.

Except of course watching the clip, or using the new BBC iPlayer!

Forgot to mention:
There is an open in standalone player link.
Right click that and chose copy link location
Then add the flag -playlist to the mplayer command line (the link is
to a .ram, and this is a list of .rm files to play).

So it would be something like:
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile click.rm -playlist 'URL'

(obviously replace URL with an actual URL.
Sit back and wait.
