Playing a DI.fm channel in VLC Media Player

.md

A handy way to get around DI.fm's new restriction on third-party media players.

You can find a list of all the channels here. Change the CHANNEL variable to adjust the channel to listen to.

This originally comes from http://hackedtogether.blogspot.nl/2016/03/listen-to-difm-streams-with-vlc-as-free.html, but I've modified it a bit to no longer hardcode a path to VLC.

di.sh

VLC_BIN=`which vlc`
CHANNEL="/di_trance_aac"

curl "http://pub5.di.fm$CHANNEL" \
    -H 'Accept: */*' \
    -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
    -H 'Referer: http://www.di.fm/' \
    -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36' \ -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8' \
    --compressed | $VLC_BIN -

not work anymore =(
