Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

radion is an internet radio CLI client, written in Bash.

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/radion

Radion can be customized as far as the station selecting program is concerned. The user can choose between:

  • read

read

  • fzf

fzf

  • rofi

rofi

  • dmenu

dmenu


Update: Introduced new feature: customizing prompt text for fzf dmenu and rofi.


Update: MacOS support added now thanks to Andrea Schäfer

Also, I was forced by my daughter to add some anime radio stations...


Update: Recording functionality added, with the use of another (you guessed it) bash script

icy

Also options in read as Preferred selector are also case insensitive.

Any feedback is appreciated!

My first thought every time I see a pure bash project: "wow" followed by "but... why".

I get that we have bash on most machines, reducing dependencies, all that jazz. But it's so painful to do anything nontrivial with it. There are so many small potential papercuts and edge cases, I'd rather pull my teeth out with a pair of pliers than code more than a simple script in it.

Everything is not pure bash here, it's a radio frontend for mpv. It is also using sed, awk... A standard bash use case actually.
