Re: [Banshee-List] Streamrecorder extension

[Frank <funtastix googlemail com>]

A guess:

The original Stream records exactly the stream that is coming through. There might be no headers recorded if recording starts in the middle of the stream, whereas reencoding ensures all headers and such are correctly written. Have you tried pressing the recording button before actually starting playback?

I'm trying to use the streamrecorder extension with banshee. I'm listening to an mp3 stream (dutch radio). If I record this (192bit variable encoding) mp3 stream with the streamrecorder of banshee and I do not re-encode it,  i.e. I choose to record the original stream, I don't get an 192bit mp3 stream but something that is not recognized by mpg123 as mp3.

Am I doing something wrong?

Decoding and re-encoding an mp3 stream is not the best way to deal wit lossy formats I think (I don't know if the streamrecorder is doing that though).
