Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
SeaMonkey SeaMonkey/2.53.12 (x64)
VideoLAN (VLC) 3.0.17.4 (x64)

I want to use VLC to stream a radio station. However, it seems that I
can stream it only through my browser via a link on the station's Web
page. Does anyone know how I can capture the URI while streaming
through SeaMonkey? I do not see any URI in SeaMonkey's status bar at
the bottom of the browser's window.

For those who are not familiar with VLC, it is a stand-alone application
that does not use a browser. It is available at
<http://www.videolan.org/>.

Followup-To: Set to alt.windows7.general

If you can figure out the MIME type, then you can set SM to use VLC for
that content type at Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications.

You may be able to find the url using F12 developer tools, but they
usually place some kind of restriction, like the browser requests a
cookie and token with date/time and you have to supply it in the request.

If you were on Linux, you could use GStreamer with thousands of times
less overhead (than a bloated browser and bloated VLC).

does viewing source of the radio station's web page reveal anything? What is
the station?

I have sometimes been able to determine this via view->page info and
inspecting the media listings.

Are you looking to play US radio stations? In that case most can be
accessed via streamtheworld as in (for example):

https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/KNZZAMAAC.aac

Substitute the call letters of interest for the first four letters and
indicate AM or FM as appropriate.

You might also need to get the URL from iHeart for some stations. There
are programs out there to return the URL for an iHeart station. As I am
using Linux the tool I use is a python3 script iheart-url which can be
used to search for an iheart station number and return a URL for that
iheart station number.

I hope this helps.

Several ways...
Usually the ip, port, and remote host will show up using a TCP viewer.
(I use CPorts). More often lately the IP is spread and I use the Remote
Host Name and port. Example: CPorts shows the station that I am
currently listening to as 80.85.84.114:8171 but putting that into my
Sceamer or FreeAmp players does not work so I use the Remote Host Name
of http://uk2.internet-radio.com:8171 and that works.

If that does not work then I try to find the .m3u or .pls from either
the station website or a streaming service like:
https://www.internet-radio.com/

Then I paste the m3u or pls address into my player and bookmark it.

The link on the Web page for streaming via my browser does not indicate
any URI or MIME type.

I tried that. The source appears to have tons of obscure garbage.

Aha! No, I did not try StreamTheWorld. I did try RadioTower at
<http://radiotower.com/> without success; this site might not have been
updated in 9 years. However, I then tried Radio-Locator at
<http://www.radio-locator.com/> with success; this site seems to have
been updated this year.

Use the network tab of the developer tools to show the URLs being
accessed as you load the stream.

However the stream URL may be dynamically generated: if so, just
bookmarking the value you see will fail over time.

The easiest way is to open the streaming page in SM and select
View->Page Info, then select the Media tab. In a lot of cases the direct
URL for the audio stream is located there as "Audio". I find that in
most cases you have to actually start the stream to get it to show up in
the Media tab.

If not, try an alternate stream source (radio station, Streema, TuneIn,
Shoutcast, etc.) and see if you can get the stream URL from that one.

Then what I do is copy and launch that URL in a stream player/client
like iTunes or Winamp (dunno if VLC will do this too, as I only use VLC
for video). This way I can compile and maintain a playlist of all of
the stations I listen to and simply launch them from there.

I also keep a set of Bookmarks for all my fav stations so I can easily
find and update URLs if a station suddenly goes dark.

It's unclear to me whether or not your original problem has been
solved, so let me just point to what I used [1] in a similar situation:

'URL Snooper'
<http://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/url-snooper>

Hope this helps.

[1] I used it quite some time ago, February 2018, but as you're probably
using Windows 7, that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks. Since I feel I was merely lucky that I was able to find a link
in Radio-Locator for use in VLC, I plan to installed URL Snooper. I
have already downloaded its installer file and scanned it for malware
(no malware found).

Hmmm!? Strange! You use Windows 7, correct? If so, I used Windows 8.1,
