When I try to play WQXR or WRTI, I see "connecting .."
But it doesn't play.
WFMT, as I recall, does play.

I've reinstalled repeatedly.
And done the Radio Stations complete build.

EDIT
OK, I got WQXR to play, and a few others.

Searched online for WRTI streaming, and found
http://38.100.101.74/WRTI CLASSICAL.mp3


Thank you,

There are plans to improve the radio module. Atm, the radio db supports only one url pr radio channel. Since many url's in the db is dead, it would be great to allow multiple addresses to each channel, and automatically scan the next address if the given one is dead. The pMusic radio db is built from the info at radiosure.com, and it includes limitless numbers of url's. So, the challenge is not to find the url's, but to define a clever way to include this into pMusic.

Thank for your reply, Sigmund.

I see that there's nothing I can do here to fix the database.

I added WRTI to favorites, and can choose radio stations from there.

Thanks again,
Sheldon

Thanks for pMusic 5.2.4

Regarding podcast

Feature requests:
On the left pane it would be nice to select which column one wants to display (I'm not interest by default to view path, format, kps, etc.)

Bug
Under TahrPup64
If I add podcast channel http://radiofrance-podcast.net/podcast09/rss_10351.xml

I browse it and select for instance "Anne Pingeot, la discrète révélée (5/5) : Mort et poésie"
pMusic plays sizzled/crackled unhearable sound, while direct play is perfect.

I am not able to reproduce this. I get a nice audio quality in 128kb/sec. Do you get something else?

Have done a test to compare the resource hunger of different players.

Hi Zigbert I just had a look at your comparison and on the basis of your comments i gave Audacious a try (using some pets from an old Pizzasgood thread) on my Slacko derivative.

Interesting player but I saw an unusual pattern of cpu usage within htop. The attached pic shows three instances of Audacious which I cannot explain as only one gui was running. The total is up over 20% cpu usage which is quite different to your figures. Could your comparison figures have included only the cpu percentage of a single Audacious instance and are there always multiple processes running or is it likely I did something wrong?
cheers!

EDIT : I have also added a screenshot of pMusic playing my Music directory for comparison (older version of pMusic that I really like). Nice big fat gui but still lightweight on cpu.

I use the cpu-average bar to measure, so I think my test shows the correct value. I see you are using the winamp-clone gui that might gives another result. The version I tested ran the gtk-gui by default, so I tested that one.

If using an older version than 5.0.0, it will use slightly more cpu-usage than the most recent versions of pMusic.

Oh, ok, thanks - I actually thought my gui was the basic gtk one. Didn't realise it was the winamp one. I will go looking for a different version.
cheers.

Testing pmusic 5.2.5

I like the fact that it's a tiny frontend for ffmpeg.

It's really fast compared to old versions, which were too heavy on cpu...

I think that searching for music files on first run should be optional, not all people have a permanent install. It's just a suggestion.

Good job.

Thanks for testing!

There are for sure pros and cons when it comes to scanning at first run. I have tried to make it as discreet as possible. pMusic is built around the DB, so a scan is required to take advantage of the features in pMusic. But, of course not required to play audio - which is the main target.

One solution could be to offer a simple frontend without scanning. Focusing on a basic audioplayer without too many options and features. The downside would be the slow file-search.

REQUEST - add tuneIn radio streams

#2221 Post by tenochslb »

Is it possible to add TuneIn radio streams to pradio?

What is TuneIn?:
TuneIn is a privately held company based in San Francisco, California founded by Bill Moore as RadioTime in Dallas, Texas in 2002. TuneIn has over 100,000 broadcast radio stations and four million on-demand programs and podcasts from around the world
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TuneIn
There is a plugin available in VLC to be able to reproduce the TuneIn streams:
https://addons.videolan.org/content/sho ... iles-panel

The main code appears to be in the following file:

tunein.lua:
