Use iCal to schedule recording of WMA radio streams
Authored by: dieter2 on Feb 18, '06 02:44:41PM

I've tried this on two different machines (an old ibook running 10.3 and a less old Quicksilver running 10.4.4). While this worked fine on the ibook, I found that on the quicksilver I needed to change "mux=wav" to "mux=raw" -- the latter is usually available through the VLC GUI for recording, so it may be more correct. Anyway, try it if you run into trouble.

Other lessons learned: As noted in the original post, don't set the iCal alarm to go off before the event. This causes failures. Also, if you're having trouble getting the script to work, modify the error dialogue to actually display the error information -- obvious, I suppose, but it helps.
