Radiorecorder & Podcast generator

These short scripts enable you to record radioshows from a webstream, store them on a server and generate a rss-file to download them as a podcast with a podcatcher.

###Installing

To use these scripts, install streamripper on your webserver (in my case a Raspberry Pi):

sudo apt-get install streamripper

Copy the two files recorder.sh and rssgenerator.py to your webserver and config the definitions in both files (filepaths, URLs, Names, etc.). If you want to record ore than one show, copy, rename and edit the file recorder.sh. To start the recording, execute the shellscript on the server:

bash recorder.sh

To start a recording at a certain file, add a cronjob on your server. For example, if you want to record a show every Saturday on 15:00, open the crontab:

crontab -e

and add the following line (the file recorder-testshow.sh has to contain all the information about the show, such as URL, length, etc.):

00 15 * * sat bash /home/pi/recorder/recorder-testshow.sh 

This script will start streamripper, update the logfile and generate a new version of the podcast RSS-file.
