ripr

A tiny app to record any internet stream

Requirements

Python 3

It was written solely in Py3k so if you want Python 2, you'll have to run 3to2.py or port it over. Pull requests gladly accepted, so long as you create compatibility shims in the code base so there aren't duplicates of everything.

Usage

from command line

>>>python __init__.py URL HH:MM:SS -p PATHTOLOCALFILE

It writes to the local file after the elapsed time the file you ripped. For example this records wemu for 1 minute to the same directory as the init file but you can give it any fully qualified full path with any extension:

python __init__.py http://pubint.ic.llnwd.net/stream/pubint_wemu  00:01:00 -p output.mp3

ripr's Issues

Program randomly doesn't record for the full amount of time

Randomly the program will stop short of the full recording time. 99.9% of functionality is related to the urlretrieve method in the urllib.request library. Perhaps it can be copied and refactored to check if it doesn't have a full block size read from the socket to restart or continue anyways. Currently it fails if it's not a full buffer sized read.

Rename the core file

It's ugly as hell to use the init.py file, either make it a full library or rename the file. Alternatively, use setup.py to make it installable and callable from anywhere so long as it's installed in the user's path.
