Hello Maurice!

 AA>> Never heard of mpv. Looked it up. Will check it out.

 MK> I can't speak for the windows version but the linux
 MK> version looks to have what is needed to get the job done.
 MK> I tried 'regular' internet radio stations and they all had
 MK> absolutely no issues.

Is it just a player? ..or can it also save to a file?


 AA>> BTW.. the Debaters archive only works with yt-dlp to a certain
 AA>> year.

 MK> From what little I saw I noted that only so many older
 MK> (archived) episodes are available to stream.  "chicken or
 MK> egg" wasn't one of them even though a search there was
 MK> positive.  I've never heard of yt-dlp but from what you're
 MK> saying it is confirming what I initially thought about
 MK> "The Debaters" archives.

yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork.

When I found the "chicken or egg" episode, I had no trouble  
streaming it from the archive.  There was a play button  
available on the site. But my goal was to save the episode to a  
file which yt-dlp acconmplished admirably.
