Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)

[lollisoft]

Hi,

has anyone used the combination of desktop symbols starting mplayer to play
shoutcast radio stations ?

Also using cron jobs to wake me up in the morning with a radio station will
be an option :-) 

Also an idea: Does someone know, if streamripper
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamripper/)
is ported to FreeRunner ?

With that you would probably record for offline listening :-)

I have tried that with a script like this (killall let the GUI bring up an
error message I haven't yet got rid):

Play a radio station
#!/bin/sh
killall mplayer
mplayer http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=7429

Stop playing
#!/bin/sh
killall mplayer

Desktop file to start playing.

Exec=/home/root/play-technobase-fm.sh

Desktop file to stop playing.
