CBC Radio Stream URLs

Using these URLs, you can listen to CBC radio streams with applications like VLC or Transistor. The files are M3U playlists, so you can use them as-is, edit them to suit your tastes, or use individual URLs.

This playlist contains the .m3u8 URLs from the CBC Listen website, which uses the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol. The audio stream is broken up into multiple tiny files, which are then fed into the .m3u8 playlist file that delivers them to your computer in the right order. This should work with modern media players.

This legacy playlist uses good old-fashioned MP3 streams found on PublicRadioFan.com. It will work with older programs like Winamp that don't support HLS. I don't know how lo

Scenario

Django 1.9 application with two databases:
- Legacy database with readonly access via unmanaged models. Both Django models (models.py) and related migrations have "managed" set to False
  - 'managed': False
- Default database holding django specific tables (e.g. auth_user, django_content_type, etc)

Testing Woes

For testing I want to re-create the legacy database tables. In other words, during python manage.py test, tell Django to set "managed" to True
- There are several excellent blog posts on how to set "managed" to True during tests:

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
