Is anyone recording Weather, Police, Radio, into BlueIris?
I'm looking for a way to record local 'Police' adn 'Weather' (from Brodcastify.com?) into BlueIris.
Is anyone doing this, or, knows how?


I asked this some time back, but cannot find the topic. Maybe it was before the crash (which lost the db).

You could capture broadcastify output using a command line tool like curl, wget or mpv by setting an Alert event to call the tool. If you then wanted to incorporate that audio into the video it could be done with ffmpeg.

Way over my head! Even if I did understand all that, I would preferer not to have a 3-4 layer method of getting this into BI.
I've found that the Brodcastify savable links are only good for a short time.

I suppose I could get a police scanner, and route the audio output into the mic jack of a camera, maybe? But, I don;t want to spend the money to test it.

In BI's Audio tab for each camera there's an option for "Other DirectShow Device" and if I check that it points to my laptop microphone. I wonder if you plug a police scanner headphone out into your mic input jack on your computer would it show up in the "Other DirectShow Device" list. That might work... It might have to be set up like: https://youtu.be/K8_eNOOwAxA

I was able to record broadcastify into the audio feed using BI. I enabled Stereo Mix on my laptop BI server then in the audio tab for the camera set "Other DirectShow Device" to the Stereo Mix device. I then ran "mpv.com https://www.broadcastify.com/scripts/pl ... 787852.m3u" from the command line, which is a live feed and when the camera triggered it recorded beautifully the feed from broadcastify onto the video. So it can be done...

You guys are friggin' wizards... I swear.

Oh Wow! Thanks. I'll try that out, and report back.


Question...
- Isn't 'mvp.com' a web site? Or did you mean 'mvp.exe'?

mpv.com is the console command line version of mpv.exe which has a gui interface. The website for the mpv media player is here: https://mpv.io/ and mpv for windows is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-pl ... ows/files/

Note that VLC should work fine playing the stream as well.
