Title: Streaming url
Post by: KingSparta on November 01, 2022, 06:39:54 pm
I have been looking for streaming URLs all day. Finally, I found 6, all on BBC radio.

Is there a way or place I can find the URL?

It seems they are almost all hidden nowadays.

Maybe a Google search, using the name plus url or something like that.

Right click used to work.  View Source (in the browser tools) and then a search for it sometimes works.

Play it in MC, then right click and save as playlist.

Yep 'DevTools' in your browser of choice can also be very helpful at figuring this stuff out. Typically hints will show up in the network activity pane but depending on the site / service, it can be more involved than just that.

What site in particular are you trying to pull a URL (that you can 'do something' with) from?
There's also chrome / ff extensions used for bulk downloading / video downloading that can prove helpful at discovering hard to generate / discern URLs without you doing the work yourself.
