radion is an internet radio CLI client, written in Bash.
https://gitlab.com/christosangel/radion
Radion can be costumized as far as the station selecting program is concerned. The user can choose between:
- read
- fzf
- rofi
- dmenu
Update: Introduced new feature: costumizing prompt text for fzf dmenu and rofi.
Update: Recording functionality added, with the use of another (you guessed it) bash script
Also options in read as Preferred selector are also case insensitive.
Any feedback is appreciated!
It really is quite nice; it almost immediately became my go-to for everyday sitting-at-to-desk.
I just tried mpv directly with the URLs I added to radion, and they all generate 404s, so some of the items in the playlists must be bad. It's not Radion's issue aftet all; sorry.
I do have one other comment: the stations gile should not be in
.cache; it should be in.config, because it's configuration. Users should be able to delete any application's.cachedirectory as part of cache cleaning - if they delete radion's, it will result in a loss of any additional configured stations they've added.Sorry about the station red herring; I should have checked the station's playlist contents for validity first.
Hey something good came out of this feedback, I added a few more details in the README about finding new stations.
The stations.txt directory is a valid point as well, I was considering this before, but as it is a minor detail that is easily changed, I did not give it much thought. I will most probably implement the change later on.
Thanks again for the helpful feedback.
Well, thanks for sharing your work!
