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.

Through the menus, the user can :

  • Select directly a station from the Favorites list (which is configurable).

  • Select a random station out of this list of Favorite stations.

  • Select a tag to pick a station from.

  • Select to pick a station from All Stations.

  • Select a random station out of this list of #tag stations.

  • ❌ Quit pyradion.


Recording

Recording a radio stream in pyradion can be done easily, just by hitting r or R.

The user will be notified through the status line of the recording taking place, and of the output file name.

Editing the pyradion.config file, the user will be able to define output audio file directory.

If the title is available by the stream, the file will take its name by it.

If title is Not Available, the file will take a date/time for name.

Output File Format

In order for recording to work for mpv, output file format must be the same with stream format.

Therefore stream format is recognised, and passed to the output file (e.g. mp3, ogg, aac).


This project shares more or less the same logic with a previous project in Bash:

although with this Python script some more features are available.

Thank you, I am glad you like it. I have been trying to improve it, adding functionalities, improving the selection mechanism with cursor and scrolling etc.
