Remember? Last time Moyles said I was in 'Gillingham' ...

Ah, yes, I remember. I guess only time will tell, it's not something that's going to feature in their press releases.

Although, Simon Mayo's show is being streamed most days up until June 19th, so give that a go - surely it's very likely that the same process is being applied to that programme as will be the case for Moyles in a couple of weeks?

[Ed Pummelon]

That was very kind of him but I meant will I be allowed to watch them live. Remember? Last time Moyles said I was in 'Gillingham' and that was how I was watching live. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if they were going to block any live feed for those of us outside the UK.

If I remember correctly Sunny you were only in Gillingham for a couple of days until the tech guys "relocated" you. I wouldn't bank on the same thing this time round, it's a much longer project and they'll have learnt a lot from the first trial. Still worth a try of course.

If any clever types can cap them it'd be great not only for overseas listeners / viewers, but also those of us who can't listen / watch during the day. Thirty shows could be pushing it though.

If they block the video steam to overseas "Viewers" I will PM you with details on how to set-up Foxy Proxy on your computer so you can bypass the block and watch the feed live.

[Sunny So Cal]

I will try Mayo's show, Richard. Good idea. Yeah, Ed, I get around. L.A., Gillingham, San Diego. I'm all over the place. Thanks, Danny!

[neilt0]

I can't be bothered to scroll through all this. Am I going to be able to watch it again like last time?

Well, neilt0 was the kind soul who recorded the streams at the beginning of the year and shared them around but, as was previously commented, 6 weeks is big commitment, so who knows?!

I for one would be extremely appreciative if he or someone else were to record the streams this time round.

I'm recording now! I didn't find out about this until Chris twittered at 8am -- I normally listen to the show via Listen Again, not live.

I'm going to try to cap every day, but it would be wise for someone else to do so as well as a backup. The best app to cap with is "Replay Media Catcher".
I may oversleep, or the stream may go down or whatever.

As I missed from 6:30am to 8:07am, has anyone else got a cap to share for today's show?

You're a star. I can't get access to this during the day, so will be downloading anything you can share. Thanks a million.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reverse engineer the stream's RTMP URL this morning, so I wasn't able to record - if I can get the URL, though, I will be able to set-up a recorder to get the rest.

If you do, would you mind sharing it? I wouldn't mind having a crack at recording it as well.

On a related note, how are the team looking this morning - have they all tarted themselves up for the occasion? Is Dave in his tux?

[Console]

I can, but you're on Windows, so you can just use a RTMP recorder, like Neilt0 is using.

[Ed Pummelon]

This is a work PC so the whole thing's blocked. With the URL I'd try and find some way of doing a scheduled record from my home machine. There are a couple of Mac apps which I've got in mind, if not I'll crank up the old Windows laptop. Either way, I can't use this machine.

[shamrock student]

Have any international viewers managed to see the video streaming, the video player is loading up and is showing the texts and the screens used between songs but goes blank once any chat starts.

[Ed Pummelon]

I'd be surprised if they hadn't plugged that gap last time around.

[Yudster]

I popped in for bits of the streaming this morning - it was good. I really enjoy seeing hints of the technical side of what Chris does - he'll be chatting away and now you can see him you realise that all the while he's checking things, setting stuff up, adjusting something else - fascinating really. And I also liked how they kept the stream going through the 10 o clock handover, and we saw Jo too - looking gorgeous, I hate her even more.

I have to warn you though Ed, if you do manage to watch - Matt Fincham is even more annoying when you can see his gormless great gurning, grinning face whilst he spouts his inanities and basks in the attention.

Thanks for the warning. I've avoided going on about him on here recently, but he's becoming more and more of a tit the more exposure he gets. You always know when he's arrived as you can hear his false laugh from the back of the studio above everyone else.

He should go and join Steve Wright, he'd be much better suited - when critics talk about CM's bunch of sycophants, there's only actually one who fits the bill. Perhaps spending less time trying to get his voice on air and more time trying to do his job right would be a good idea as well.

Now you see why I've been avoiding mentioning him for a while.

I'm sure I read somewhere that other DJ's rate him for his technical ability as much as anything else, when it comes to working the desk he's supposed to be up there with the best of them. Aled was talking in his thread about how he loops the intro to songs by working three tracks simultaneously and of course talking over it as well, it's a great skill.

I found it fascinating last time too, I'm really hoping to find a way to record it. Unless they put it on iPlayer of course, but I doubt it.

[neilt0]

I'm posting links to the webcasts in the Sound/Video Requests forum. Today's show is now up!

The original article says:

"And in response to audience feedback from the first phase of the trial (January 2009), this phase also includes on-demand content, for those that miss the live broadcast, and a mobile version of the console."

Does this not mean it will be on iPlayer

[Ed Pummelon]

It assume it means "highlights" rather than the whole broadcast, but I hope I'm wrong.

Me too!
My laptop is broken at the moment, and the site is blocked at work so I fear I will miss all 6 weeks of it!

[Console]

You could try using Foxy Proxy (you'll need to also download Firefox) and setting up a UK proxy for the following: -

Code: Select all

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/gtis/* 

As far as I can tell, that's the only place where any Geo-IP technology is implemented (it would also be stupid to implement it twice), so accessing it alone with a UK-based proxy should allow you to access the live stream.

There's also a possibility that this would also apply to the rest of the iPlayer, but I don't know.

[Ed Pummelon]

Did you find the URL yet by any chance Console?

[Console]

Not yet, I'm piecing it together now - I have figured out where I was going wrong, though.

Edit: I think I've got it, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to make sure. It's a little complicated, are you a programmer of any sort?

No, but I can find my way around (very) basic Terminal / Console stuff on the Mac. I was planning to have a play around with this or this, but I'd need the address of the stream to do it, which is where I think I'll struggle.

[Console]

Well, I've been using rtmpdump (v1.5a) for a while in my iPlayer script, and it works pretty well. I've included my current script below - have a play around with it tomorrow and see what you get.

getMoyles.sh

NB: There is no error handling in the current script.

[Ed Pummelon]

Thanks a lot, looking forward to having a play around with that.

Nice Script, thanks for that.
