Command line radio player

Curseradio

Internet radio in the terminal

Curseradio is a curses interface for browsing and playing an OPML directory of internet radio streams. It is designed to use the tunein directory found at http://opml.radiotime.com/, but could be adapted to others.

Audio playback uses mpv. Curseradio requires python3 and the libraries requests, xdg and lxml.

Update link to tunein directory

It is designed to use the tunein directory found at http://opml.radiotime.com/, but could be adapted to others.

The link to the tunein directory doesn't work in your description. Could you update it?

Licensing of streams

Hey, this is a cool project and thanks for putting it up. I was looking for something like this (low-resource internet radio player with decent UI).

Do you know what the licensing rights of the radiotime streams are? I don't see anything on the TuneIn site that approves non-commercial use, but I imagine they're not too concerned about command line radio tools.

Cant run

Hello

I get the following error.

Was working fine. Added Favorites, now won't load

This is what I get after issuing a terminal command to load it.

Missing local radio stations

I have just installed curseradio, but there are some local radio stations missing.
Example for Montenegro:
Drugačija Radio Stanica
Radio D and Radio D plus

Is there any restrictions on why they aren't on the list or is it something else?

Please add vi(1) key binding

Most console/curses programs support vi(1) key bindings - hjkl - out of the box, so having those in addition (instead of?) to the arrow keys, would be great! :^)

Yes, this would mean remapping stop (currently k) to some other key - p (for pause) seems like the best candidate.

How about also using h and l for collapse and expand, i.e. open/close folders, respectively, instead of/additionally to Enter?

For those of us who keep our hands on the home row, this would be invaluable :^)

Anyway, just a handful of ideas.

Hello,
Why always give this error using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 and sudo apt install curseradio?
what I doing is the wrong way?
Thank

snap package

could you make snap package for that ?

Would be nice to include the dependecies in the setup.py

Dear Gordon!

I love this project! My blind brother can listen to internet radio by your help.

But the project has a flaw. On debian the installation from source does not work as expected.

After clonig the GH repo in an virtual env and run the usual python setup.py the code missies some dependencies. In particular
lxml,
requests,
pyxdg

Shall I prepare a pull request to fix this?

Cheers,
Volker

Searching for podcasts/stations

Is there a way to search for a podcast or a station? I noticed there's a "Find by name" option in Music > Rock Music > Shows > More Shows > Find by name but I can't find one for podcasts

Change colors of text?

Is there a way to change colors of different text in curseradio such as from white to something else, or from highlighted white to some other color? I can barely see when I move through the menus because the colors are almost the same.

Also, is there any documentation for this app? Like what apps its based on, or how to change configurations?

Thanks!

Favorites don't save after exiting and reopening app

If I add any number of stations to favorites, then exit curseradio and reopen it. Favorites are gone. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks!

Consider Containerizing

I created a docker container out of this. Thought I would share

A way to change volume either with mpv or through curseradio.cfg

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to change volume up/down either by editing the config file curseradio.cfg, making changes to curseradio.py, or interacting with mpv somehow through curseradio? I don't see an easy way to do this... I've tried copying pyradio volume code, but can't get it as of yet.

I would use pyradio (since apparently curseradio is dead), except pyradio doesn't seem to support OPML xml, so there isn't many stations like there is with curseradio...Maybe it would be easier to open a request with pyradio to see about suport for OPML or xml?

Now Playing

Is there any possibility of adding a 'now playing' display of some kind?

Syntax error in setup.py

Do you want to help me? Thanks!

Tagged releases and changelog

Could you tag your releases and make the changelog directly visible in your GitHub releases? This would increase transparency for potential users and distribution maintainers. Something like https://skywinder.github.io/github-changelog-generator/ could be used to generate the changelog based on merged PRs and closed issues since the last release tag.
