<div>Hi Olivier,<br>
<br>
</div>
<b>Thank you for responding so quickly. I really appreciate
that.</b><br>
<br>
Your replies are quoted in yellow.<br>

<div> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">Firstly,
thank you for the feedback. It's always cool to hear from
our users :)</span><br>

</div>
<div>As an ex-programmer, software developer, small business
owner, that obviously included supporting customers
nationwide in the USA, I too appreciate hearing your timely
responses. You have a great positive attitude and that is
always cool :). I love music, and I always have nice things
to say about the wonderful Amarok music player and the
excellent Linux Mint KDE operating system. I also reflect
that in my posts and replies in the Linux Mint forums as
well to user's world wide in whatever language they use. I
am user "phd21" in the Linux Mint forums.<br>

<b>Re: the "Record Stream" script not stopping
"streamripper" during the recording process.</b><br>

<br>
</div>
<div>I have contacted the developer of the "RecordStream"
script, and filed a bug report, and now I am in a "wait and
see what happens" mode. You seem to indicate that you are
doing something on your end as well, if that is so, please
keep me posted. Although I am not familiar with "Javascript"
yet, I am trying some various code to see if I can get it to
stop recording an Internet stream (stop "streamripper"), and
I'll let you know if it works.<br>

<div>I do agree that to be really great at anything requires
focusing on that, but after you have completed that task,
then you can add even more things to be great at to your
skill set, or a program's feature set. It was just a thought
because of music videos.<br>

<div>You did answer my questions, and again thank you! <br>
I will seriously think about taking part in the development
process for Amarok, and or Linux Mint and KDE, what would I
need to do to get involved, and what programming languages
and scripting languages would you recommend, ,in addtion to
what you have already mentioned? <br>

Let me answer point by point.<br>
<div><br>

<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">
<div>First, I must say that I truly love the wonderful
Amarok music player, Thank You. I have checked a lot
of music players and music managers in Ms Windows and
Linux for a long time now, and I still think Amarok is
the best one I have found. I am currently running
Linux Mint KDE 17.1 which I also think is absolutely
superb.<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
That is what we like to hear, and I'm happy you enjoy it .<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">Secondly, I am having a problem when
recording an Internet Streaming station in that it will
not stop "streamripper" from recording when I click the
stop recording button, even if I set a timer, even if I
exit Amarok. I have to logout, or bring up "Ksysguard"
to kill the process, or it will continue to record.<br>
<div>
<div><br>
I finally found the program that controls this,
which I think is Java Script, in
"/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/amarok/<b>main.js</b>".
I can see the code block on line 139 "function
recStreamStop()" which should stop "streamripper",
which is not working on my system. But, I do not
know how to edit the code correctly, or what to put
in there to stop "streamripper", maybe "killall -9
streamripper", and where would I put that? If there
is some better method, or code, to do this? Please
let me know.<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">function

<div>Thirdly, it would be very cool, and functional,
and super convenient, to have the easy ability to
put in multiple play and or recording start and stop
dates and times, and or daily schedules, for
individual Internet streaming stations, similar to
"Kradio" 's Alarms, or an even better easier "right

obviously the ability to manage and edit timers. <br>
