Trying to get stream url for this radio station

[jimdagys]

I like to listen to wsmc.
http://www.southern.edu/administration/wsmc/
There is no problem listening by going to their website and clicking "listen live", ( or using Tune In) but I would like to be able to just open up VLC and be able to listen to the stream, without first going to their website. I played the stream with Chrome network sniffer (see screenshot) but was unable to get any workable stream url from the data that VLC would play. Can someone take a look and see if it is possible to find a url that VLC can play?

Anyone have any useful answers, please?

This link plays OK for me with VLC...

OK, I used the above script you provided (http://wsmc.streamon.fm/hls/WSMC.m3u8)
copied the script into Notepad and then changed extension to .m3u8 to make a vlc icon that I could just click on and then hear the radio station. On my Windows pc this didn't work, clicked the vlc icon and just vlc error message. Then I updated vlc from 1.0.5 to the latest (2.2.4) and now the radio station (wsmc) plays fine when I click on the vlc icon. However when I do this on my Android device ( I have the latest vlc for Android (2.0.6), I just don't get the wsmc radio station. However, I do get other radio stations such as Wguc.

bat999,
How did you get the link:

http://wsmc.streamon.fm/hls/WSMC.m3u8

I only was able to find something similar:

https://wsmc.streamon.fm/hls/WSMC.mp4.m3u8

but that did not work.

It's there in Chromium Browser -> More Tools -> Developer Tools

Thank you. I (before) looked in the above, but I see you selected "Console". I always selected "Network", that's why I couldn't find the same url stream that you found.
However, just for additional info, that link (http://wsmc.streamon.fm/hls/WSMC.m3u8) doesn't work in my Android vlc. With a lot of guesswork I was able to solve that problem.
If you choose "Network", I found this bumblebee link:

https://wsmc.streamon.fm/bumblebee_config.js?l=en

If you open that link in a browser, you get a page of text.
I choose this one line:

http://:host.streamon.fm:8000/:username-:bitrate.aac

By looking at the whole page (above bumblebee page) and also the above "Network" page, and after a lot of guesses,
I got this, which works in both pc vlc and android vlc:

http://wsmc.streamon.fm:8000/WSMC-32k.aac

To get this, I replaced (in above bumblebee text)
:host
with
wsmc
I replaced
:username
with
WSMC
I replaced
:bitrate
with
32k
Then I saved the link (http://wsmc.streamon.fm:8000/WSMC-32k.aac) in a Notepad file and changed extension to
.m3u8
The saved file icon now can be clicked (in pc or android) to instantly hear the radio station.
Below is link to the saved file.

Hi,

Try this URL link:

http://wsmc.streamon.fm/hls/stream/WSMC-32k.aac.m3u8?uid=dhc9ptjo81&starttime=1535638340&version=1

Works on VLC.

This old link works in MPCBE, MPCHC, KMPlayer, and SMPlayer, but not VLC:
