Run VLC from the command line on Mac OS X and stream internet radio (such as Radio Paradise).

Raw

vlc

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I rc "$@"

Just save this to /usr/local/bin and then make it executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vlc

You can try it out by running vlc inside Terminal:

vlc http://www.radioparadise.com/m3u/aac-128.m3u

If the audio skips, then try the direct stream instead:

vlc http://stream-tx4.radioparadise.com:80/aac-128

The Ogg stream is also pretty good:

vlc http://stream-sd.radioparadise.com/rp_192m.ogg

Just for for fun. What is the idiots way of understanding and running these commands? I'm not great with shebang and bash scripting
outside of node.js. Thank you.

vlc --help 😉

If you don't love bash scripting, type /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --help
