Can I save/download an RTE Radio 1 stream?

January 1, 2022 8:49 AM

Is there any way to save a show that is streaming on RTE Radio 1?

I would like to listen to this but I can't simply stream it: https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/saw-doctors-i-want-my-old-job-back/

The tool yt-dlp just shrugs at an unsupported URL.

Thanks for any advice!

Best answer: Try using yt-dlp with this playlist URL (found using Chrome's developer tools):

https://cdn.rasset.ie/hls-vod/audio/2022/0101/20220101_rteradio1-sawdoctors_cl11369979_11371169_261_/manifest.m3u8

Response by poster: That worked! Thank you so much!!

I also mucked about in the page using Safari's developer tools, but never found that particular bit. Noted for future use -- thanks again!
