Recording

First, you need to install VLC on your Mac:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Executing following command will record the live streaming audio from ebs radio into 1.wav:

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I dummy rtmp://ebsandroid.ebs.co.kr/fmradiofamilypc/familypc1m vlc://quit --no-sout-video --sout-audio --no-sout-rtp-sap --no-sout-standard-sap --ttl=1 --sout-keep --sout "#transcode{acodec=s16l,channels=2}:std{access=file,mux=wav,dst=1.wav}" 2> /dev/null

EBS streaming rtmp address list

rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/groundwavefamilypc/familypc1m // 지상파 HD rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/ebsufamilypc/familypc1m //EBSu HD rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/fmradiofamilypc/familypc1m //FM 라디오 SD rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/plus1familypc/familypc1m //Plus1 SD rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/plus2familypc/familypc1m //Plus2 SD rtmp://ebsandroid.nefficient.com/plus3familypc/familypc1m //Plus3 SD

Converting .wav to .m4a

/usr/bin/afconvert -f mp4f -d aac -q 127 1.wav 1.m4a

Why not let vlc directly save output in mp3 format?

Because, the sound quality is not quite good. It left me with no choice but to record using wav format and then convert it to aac format.

Making your mac to automatically record the live stream

After cloning this repo to your local directory,

$ git clone https://github.com/orchistro/ebsradio.git

add a little modifications to ebs.sh and *.plist files to suit you right.

And then run following command to register the recording task:

$ launchctl load shawn.ebs.power_english.plist

If you want to unregister the task:

$ launchctl unload shawn.ebs.power_english.plist

If you want the task automatically registered when your mac starts up, put it in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ directory or make a link:

$ cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
$ ln -s ~/ebsradio/shawn.ebs.power_english.plist shawn.ebs.power_english.plist
