M3U8 extentions to Mp3 or AAC

[habboubih]

Hello,

I have search and read a lot about this, but could not find an answer to my question. Hope you guys could help me.

Suppose that I have an M3U8 url for a radio station like this:
http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/playlist.m3u8

( I don not own the station nor the website)

and I want to find out the source file in which they are streaming (Mp3 or AAC).

Here is what I did. I downloaded the m3u8 file and opened it with a text editor and found this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=257949,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
chunklist_w696678307.m3u8

so substituted playlist.m3u8 with chunklist_w696678307.m3u8 to have this url:

http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/chunklist_w696678307.m3u8

So I downloaded the file, opened it with text editor and got this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:7752
#EXTINF:10.08,
media_w696678307_7752.aac
#EXTINF:9.984,
media_w696678307_7753.aac
#EXTINF:9.984,
media_w696678307_7754.aac

Then substituted chunklist_w696678307.m3u8 with media_w696678307_7754.aac to have this url:

http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/media_w696678307_7754.aac

but this is not a valid url! Turned out I am doing it wrong.

Is there any possible way to get the source files url (in this case media_w696678307_7752.aac or media_w696678307_7753.aac or media_w696678307_7754.aac)

I would appreciate any help.

hi it's live link so when you try to open http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/media_w696678307_7754.aac
for example this fragment is already expired

so if you want record this radio in real time you can use ffmpeg

aac format

ffmpeg -i "http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/playlist.m3u8" -c copy radio.aac

mp3 format

ffmpeg -i "http://iaa.flashmediacast.com:2387/live//radio-93-3/playlist.m3u8" -acodec mp3 -ab 257k radio.mp3

Thank you for the reply. The problem is I have many other radio stations that has the same problem. If I do this with every radio station, that would consume a lot of bandwidth and maybe slow down my server. Any alternatives?
