Recording stream

On a side note: here's a command for listening to and recording an audio stream (where 'stream-url' is the link to the stream and 'user' is your login name):

nvlc --no-color stream-url --sout "#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=mp3,dst=/home/user/Desktop/"$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S).mp3"}}"

Windows compilation

If you don't want to bother with installing tools in your system, you can use the docker image right from the CI: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/docker-images

# configuration, only each time you update the image
docker pull registry.videolan.org:5000/vlc-debian-win64
docker images
docker image -t vlc-debian-win64 theshaofthevlcimage

# build time, inside the vlc directory
docker run -it -v"$(pwd):/vlc" vlc-debian-win64 /bin/bash

# inside the container
cd /vlc && ./extra/package/win32/build.sh
