Recording the Seagulls Player stream

[Uncle C]

Sometimes, particularly around this time of year, it gets quite tricky being around to listen to Seagulls Player live commentary. I guess this is a real problem if you live abroad and its the middle of the night.

So I have been looking around for some time to find a bit of reliable free software that lets you record live streaming. I have tried a few without success, indeed one divided the game up into 2 minute files. This was a real labour of love to listen to about 50 bite sized bits at about 1.00 in the morning

I have finally found some software that is great. Once opened it recognises whats being streamed and you start recording with a single push of a button. The file can then be retrieved easily for listening.

Can it be set on a timer or do you need to press record once the match starts?

I dont think it is able to do that. But the storage of audio takes so little space that its just as easy to fire it up hours in advance. Unless of course you're on a fortnights holiday in which case extended highlights will be up and running on Seagulls Player by the time you get back.

There is a fastforward facility to get you to where you want to be.

So, what is it that you get up to on these dark evenings that prevents you from listening?

What is the point in recording silence?

So how would you set up the commentary stream to come on hours in advance?
