- youtube2mp3.sh
- photofilename.perl
- Requires: Perl with Getopt::Std and Pod::Usage; jhead.
- Purpose: to rename digital photos (assuming they have the correct
EXIF information) according to the exact timestamp. You can use the
-x or -X option to add an extra string to each
filename, so that you could then merge photos from different people's
cameras together (on the same trip) into one directory, sorted by
time.
- record-real-media.perl
- Requires: Perl with Getopt::Std, Pod::Usage, and LWP::UserAgent; mplayer.
- Purpose: to record RealPlayer streams and convert them to MP3s.
You need to find the correct URL, usually by looking at the web page's
HTML source.
- I'd like to add automatic parsing of HTML pages in the future. If you already know how to
do this to find the RealPlayer links, please e-mail me at a24061 at ducksburg dot com.
- record-wuvt.sh
- Requires: mplayer.
- Purpose: to record WUVT's live stream for a specified number of
minutes from the time the script starts running, then convert it to
MP3. The output filenames will contain the timestamp (in Blacksburg
time) when the recording started. You probably want to call this
script from an at job to start running when the interesting show
starts.
- Please support this
non-profit, student-run organization.
- get-car-talk
- Note: Car Talk is now available as an NPR
Podcast, so this script is obsolete (I discovered the podcast
because this stopped working). I'm leaving it up
in case the sample code is useful to anyone else.
- Requires: at; Perl with Getopt::Std, Pod::Usage,
LWP::UserAgent, and File::Slurp; mplayer.
- Purpose: to record episodes of Car Talk and convert them to
MP3s or WAV files suitable for burning to CD.This program does not
directly record the 10 segments. It downloads the RealPlayer playlist
and generates an at job to record and convert them.
