[script] Listen to iheartradio (mplayer)

I have written a script to listen to iheartradio streams using mplayer.

The script is written in python so you can just save it as iheartradio.py and execute it with python iheartradio.py

You must compile a RECENT version of mplayer! The version from extra does not have rtmp support and will NOT work. SVN snapshot 32027 compiles in the SDK without a problem.

If there is a demand I can provide the mplayer binary and/or sources.

The Script:

Asks you for the station id (ex: wtfx-fm)
Asks how long the stream should play for
Check for song information every 10 seconds
Not Perfect

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python



import subprocess

import time

import urllib2

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

import os

import datetime



#Location of Stream to be SAVED

DefaultStation="wtfx-fm"



def getXML():

    data=urllib2.urlopen('http://p2.'+station+'.ccomrcdn.com/player/player_dispatcher.html?section=radio&action=listen_live').read()

    xml=ET.fromstring(data)

    return xml



def getSongInfo():

    xml=getXML()

    artist=xml.find('ListenLiveInitialize/JustPlayed/song/artist').attrib['name']

    title=xml.find('ListenLiveInitialize/JustPlayed/song/track').attrib['track_title']

    return artist,title







while True:

    station=raw_input("Enter Station ID [" + DefaultStation + "]: ")



    if not station:

        station=DefaultStation

    try:

        xml=getXML()

    except urllib2.URLError:

        print "Error - Invalid Station ID or Web Server Problem - Try Again"

    else:

        break



while True:

    try:

        TIME=int(raw_input("Time Stream will Play (in minutes): "))

    except ValueError:

        print "Error - Invalid Time - Try Again"

    else:

        break



rtmpurl=xml.find("ListenLiveInitialize/StreamInfo/stream").attrib['primary_location']



mp=subprocess.Popen(['/usr/bin/mplayer', rtmpurl, '-novideo', '-ao', 'pulse', '-quiet'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

mpPID=mp.pid



endTime = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=TIME)



OldSongInfo=[]



while datetime.datetime.now() < endTime:

    SongInfo=getSongInfo()

    if not SongInfo == OldSongInfo:

        OldSongInfo = SongInfo

        print SongInfo[0] + " - " + SongInfo[1]

    time.sleep(5)







print("Stopping MPlayer...")

os.kill(mpPID, 2)



print "Done"
