Add your favorite webradio in Rhythmbox

If like me you like to listen radio while working on your computer but you don't like to have it open on a webpage. And if you find very useful the way how rhythmbox mutes itself when you get a call, you need then to add your radio in your favourite audio program.

The problem is that it's not always obvious to find the url to use for the radio media.

So this is how to proceed:

  • you need to install ngrep
  • run it like this :
       ngrep -d p3p1 -lqi -p -W none ^get\|^post tcp dst port 80
    

    (-d p3p1 is used to specify the interface if you have multiple choices)

  • open in your browser the page you use to listen the radio usually
  • find the stream you are looking for in ngrep's output:
  • add it to rhythmbox and you are done ;)

Comments will need approval from now

As this blog is now hammered by spam spam spam, I decided to disable the publication of comments without approval. Even with Mollon, this is becoming a nightmare !

Sorry for the annoyance, but there is no alternative currently.

Thank you for your understanding.

innotop with support for 5.6

My colleague Kenny hit a bug with Innotop and MySQL 5.6. He submitted a bug with a patch.

This is a new pre-release rpm of Innotop (1.9.0-3) that includes that patch.

Enjoy it !

[UPDATE] New rpms are now available directly on Innotop's download page
