RADIO VSIDO - VSIDO's very own Internet radio player

[hakerdefo]

EDIT BEGINS (23, July 2015) :
Made changes to mplayer cache for efficient handling of streams.
EDIT ENDS:

Snap's topic here,
What do you use for radio?
inspired this script. Save it somewhere in your $PATH with the name 'radio_vsido' and 'chmod 755' it. I've included 43 radio stations. If you wish to expand the list or include your own favorite stations all you need to do is open the script in your text-editor, have a good look at it and add the new stations to it. If you have a problem understanding the script you can always ask about it here. The script doesn't have any dependencies outside the standard VSIDO install.
Make sure you run the script with the terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal in VSIDO) maximized to be able to view the complete station list. Looking forward to suggestions-views-reviews.

You're on a roll.

Works pretty well. Bit of a lag for some stations; BBC doesn't seem to work - or maybe I'm not waiting long enough.

Nice exit comment.

Interesting script, hackerdefo. I'll borrow some of your ideas if you don't mind. 

Here's the one I tweaked: jazzradio.sh

if [ -z $1 ]; then

    menu

else

    exit

else

    echo "You have selected a wrong channel"; sleep 1;

    echo "Please, enter a valid channel number"; sleep 1; clear; $0

fi

Don't know why -quiet doesn't work with these channels. I need to use -playlist.

Notice it exports data to a temp file to grab info for conky. It works as it should but still haven't managed to display it on conky yet.

[Snap]

As PackRat said, some radios lag. Removing the cahe fixes it. What's the purpose of the cache here? Slow network connections?

[Snap]

I just remembered there were some od these in the Crunchbang forums. Here's another interesting radio script for mplayer (and other players). It takes a long while searching for the stations matching the keywords and the output is huge, but if you want to sort out stations to make a favorites list this can be a way:

http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=396202#p396202

It doesn't float my boat as an easy streamer/player, but for grabbing station urls it might be a nice ttool.

Save it somewhere in your $PATH with the name 'radio_jazz' and 'chmod 755' it. And just do 'radio_jazz' in your terminal whenever you are in the mood for the music.
Wait, that's not all. I've something more. Save the following script somewhere in your $PATH with the name 'jazz_conky' and 'chmod 755 it.

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /tmp/mplayer.log ]; then

echo "Stopped"

else

NOW_PLAYING=$(cat /tmp/mplayer.log | grep "StreamTitle" | tail -1 | cut -c 24- | sed 's/\;//g' | rev | cut -c 2- | rev)

echo "$NOW_PLAYING"

fi



Next open your '.conkyrc' in a text editor of choice and add this line to it

Code Select Expand

Radio Jazz: ${texeci 3 /full/path/to/jazz_conky}
Of-course you have to replace '/full/path/to/jazz_conky' in the above line with the actual full path to 'jazz_conky' script. Save changes made to '.conkyrc'.
Next time you play RADIO JAZZ you'll have currently playing track displayed in your conky.
Cheers!!!

A truckload of thanks, hackerdefo. This stuff is much better than my poor attempts. Great job.

Check the bottom right:

Hey, hackerdefo. May I abuse you a bit more? 

I tweaked your script a bit and added a couple of stations from your former vsido radio. One of them is Folk Forward. I really liked it! The things is...



For all the other stations conky displays the info correctly, but for Folk Forward (I guess the other channels from somafm too) the streamurl part gets in the way. It needs a different setup. I modded the script to forward a different temp file ~/tmp/folkforward.log for this station and modified the jazz-conky script (now remamed as radio-conky) like this:

Code Select Expand

#!/bin/bash
#by hackerdefo

if [ ! -f ~/tmp/mplayer.log ]; then

echo " "

else

NOW_PLAYING=$(cat ~/tmp/mplayer.log | grep "StreamTitle" | tail -1 | cut -c 24- | sed 's/\;//g' | rev | cut -c 2- | rev)

echo "$NOW_PLAYING"

fi

if [ ! -f ~/tmp/folkforward.log ]; then

echo " "

else

NOW_PLAYING1=$(cat ~/tmp/folkforward.log | grep "StreamTitle" | tail -1 | cut -c 24- | sed 's/\;//g' | rev | cut -c 2- | rev)

echo "$NOW_PLAYING1"

fi

Tried to tweak the grep and sed part for NOW_PLAYING1 but I'm all lost here. I guess I'll need to study these two commands deeply. Would you please, shed some light on the syntax for this line?

BTW, I also added these two lines in the exit section in order to clean up conky after a login or reboot. Otherwise it keeps displaying the last song it was running in the last session. I want conky to display nothing if the radio is not running.

One more tweak. Instead of having conkyradio running at all times from the session startup even if the radio is not running, the radio script now launches this secondary conky and kills it at exit.

At the very bottom of the script...

esac
conky -c ~/.conkyradio

Snap, different streams provide stream related information in different ways. They all don't follow a particular standard so it becomes next to impossible to parse every stream with one command. However the good news for you is that if you want to parse stream info from jazzradio, somafm, radionomy and other quality stations then the following script, let's call it radio-conky, should do it,

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /tmp/mplayer.log ]; then

echo "Stopped"

else

NOW_PLAYING=$(cat /tmp/mplayer.log | grep "StreamTitle" | tail -1 | sed -e 's/;.*//' -e 's/.*=//' -e "s/'//g")

echo "$NOW_PLAYING"

fi



Just make sure that in the main radio script the log file for every station is '/tmp/mplayer.log'. No need for different log files. The above radio-conky with it's 'sed' magic should extract stream info for most stations.
Cheers!!!

Man, that's great. Thanks a few bunches.

Yep, that's all I need. Hardly ever play any other radios than a few from jazzradio and now Folk Forward from somafm. Big thanks for that too. You discovered to me that station and I've been playing it exclusively for the last few days.

[Snap]

Is there a way to use system notifications (xfce4-notifyd) instead of conky? That would be great.

Gone to surf the web on that topic.
