Plays OK in my few months old VLC3 nightly, there was a stutter a few seconds in which made me think it was going to give the problem you mentioned, but it didn't happen again when I closed and re-started VLC. FWIW I tried to access a couple of days ago but got no response. However I've just tried again, successfully. This is using the same command as I employed during the test. I just put xterm -fn 10x20 -sb -rightbar -sl 200 -e "./ffmpeg_r3flactest -i https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs...t_manifest.mpd -c copy new_recording.mkv 2&1 | tee recording_log.txt" into an executable file and run that. Note that "ffmpeg_r3flactest" is the filename I gave to a local build of the version of ffmpeg that can handle this kind of streaming. The tee into a file lets me check afterwards for any hiccups.

I haven't used Windows in over a decade, so someone else would have to deal with that. I know you can build your own ffmpeg from the sources using GCC. For all I know, recent versions of ffmpeg now do this anyway without the user having to make their own executable. But someone more knowledgeable than myself would have to say, or you'd have to look at the info on the ffmpeg pages. Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

Plays OK in my few months old VLC3 nightly, there was a stutter a few seconds in which made me think it was going to give the problem you mentioned, but it didn't happen again when I closed and re-started VLC. I've not fully checked the results yet. But I seem to have been able to use ffmpeg to capture this year's 'First Night' flac stream OK. There were a couple of 'TLS packet of unexpected length' warnings but I can't recall if they mean a missing segment or not. IIRC they don't represent a real problem, but I need to check. Watching the 1st half live (sic) on BBC4 DVB-T2 last night I noticed a short 'grey blank' period during the Beethoven. Hope that isn't in the R3 recording or the iplayer versions.

Alas, the 'grey blank' for a few seconds appeared in the BBC4 TV iplayer version I got this morning. Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

I was expecting a cheapo USB DAC to arrive last week to avoid picking up "computer noise" either on the laptop's output jack, or the docking station's output, but it didn't arrive, so connected THX 2.1 speakers to the audio output of the displayport monitor which worked quite well, except the audio cuts off when the monitor power saver kicks in. Watching the VLC stats, the FLAC stream seems to burst over 900kbps on occasion (usually during applause). |
