Audio Livestream Recorder

I have a few favorite radio shows, which i like to archive and relisten. This tool helps me to record the livestream, convert it to mp3 and finally to upload this file onto my private cloud storage.

Prerequisites

VLC (cvlc)

Add a new stream

I am using VLC for recording internet streams. See this guide for more info: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo_New/

Steps:

Create a file for the new stream, take a look at my files
Update utils/crontab for every new file you create

Upload to a cloud storage

I am running Nextcloud, so this is the only provider I keep in this repository. At the end of every stream script, you see that i call my sync-to-nextcloud utility. You need to write an utility on your own, if you need something else.

If you like to reuse my Nextcloud script, keep in mind that I expect a certain running setup on the system. You need the following installed and configured:

Deployment

There is no deployment per se. I am cloning this repository onto my server and git pull every update on there. When a new stream was added, you might need to update your user crontab on the server.

crontab -u YOUR_USERNAME utils/crontab
