StreamRipper and FB2K Options

[DDD4]

This has been discussed in a couple other threads, but I have a specific question about using StreamRipper with FB2K.


My question is can you create a relay server is from FB to Stream Ripper? Because if so, it would be a nice little workaround for using SR with FB. More manual than using SR with WinAmp, but still very workable. Below it looks like he is passing the stream from SR to a player.


From the Stream Ripper page (http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/tutorialconsole.php)

Also you can listen to the stream by creating a relay server...

Command examples [first *nix then Win32]
streamripper http://scastsrv2.shoutcast.com:8038/ -r

consoleWin32 http://scastsrv2.shoutcast.com:8038/ -r

When the program starts it will display what port it's relaying the stream on. It defaults to 8000 but you can choose another port. To listen to your relay server open up XMMS or Winamp and enter your machine name (default is 'localhost') with the port as you would any other stream (see the complete example below).

Let's look at a more complete Win32 example (prompt is removed):

Command example [Win32]
consoleWin32 http://scastsrv2.shoutcast.com:8038/ -d K:\Streamrips\ -r 8008 -q -u FreeAmp/2.x

Ok, with this SR is told to save the rips in my 'K:\Streamrips\' folder, create a relay at port 8008, add sequence numbers to the output files, and use the UserAgent 'FreeAmp/2.x'.
