This plays fine in VLC, and there’s a “Record” button there but I’m
never prompted to save the recording anywhere. I wandered through
preferences but didn’t see any default capture directory fields.
Where/how do I capture the stream for playback later? The docs that
I’ve stumbled across so far are pretty outdated (but I’m still googling).
I was able to make this work on my system (same OpenSUSE and VLC version).
Media: Convert/Save: Network: put in your URL. Click Convert/Save and
choose an output file.
Good luck.

That worked. Mostly. Howeve there was no sound during the capture.
The file played fine afterwards though.
Is there a way to both listen and capture at the same time?

When you click the convert/save button and choose a an output file tick the
“Display the output” checkbox in that dialog. Then you can listen and
capture at the same time.

OK, I’ll give that a whirl, thanks.
I also discovered I could open two instances of VLC and point them both
to the server. Of course, that’s using twice the bandwidth so I like
your solution better!

usually all installed applications will have their documents somewhere
in /usr/share/doc (sometimes in /usr/share/doc/packages, sometimes
/usr/share/doc/manual, sometimes /usr/share/doc/[app name])
sometimes in
on my system (which is probably different from yours) i found
/usr/share/doc/packages/vlc/README which gives an online address to
documentation here: http://www.videolan.org/doc/ (maybe that is what
google found for you, i don’t know…and, i didn’t go there to see
if it is worthwhile or not)
anyway, the point i wanted to make is that most documentation is
either browsable (plain text or HTML) with Konqueror (or the web
browser of your choice)…
i long ago bookmarked /usr/share/doc/packages/ and when i need docs my
first stop is there because the doc in there should be the set
closest to my installed app, but as google turns it will probably
find docs from very old to very very new (with the variety of
capabilities and how-to changing at a dizzying pace and therefore a
doc with limited usefulness)…

I’ve used /usr/share/doc/packages many a time, but thanks. Reminders
are always good. I hit the VLC site early on, as well as their wiki but
the docs on it don’t keep up with the releases. Nice to have an active
development team - guess they could use more technical writers though.
Best…
