Come on people!
Add more stuff to the radio bwiki page!

I just tried out the Radio3 dotpup. It is very nice. With this setup, it is possible to use the same update script with newer versions of the radio, since it just loads from a textfile. As long as the format in the file doesn't change, all that needs to be adjusted is the path to the file, which can be handled with a symlink (maybe called InternetRadio) that points to the most recent version. Tomorrow I'll make a better way to load the stations that checks with the ones you already have so you can have custom ones and it won't overwrite, and it won't put in duplicates. Depending on my time, I might make a better wiki-reader, but I have a bunch of art homework that I need to color, so we'll see.

my first program was a (very) crude proof-of-concept demo, mostly to see if anyone was remotely interested

i tried to get it to read from a text file directly to an env variable, but it didn't seem to work, so rather than spend the time on it, i just wrote to a file instead of a variable (very crude, but it works)

i thought the text file should be easy for a human to edit, so it probably should not require the \ at the end of each line
i was thinking something like:

url, this-shows-up-in-the-xdialog-menu

to do this the program would probably have to read each line, probably in a "for" loop, maybe using "cut" or "awk"

or maybe it's ok the way it is

it's just a simple program, and probably doesn't need to be written as anything more complicated than a shell script ... but if anybody wants to contribute to it, or improve it, or add features, or write their own version, it's ok with me

This station seems like it should work.
But I cannot get it to work with radio.pup?

my first radio program was only setup to play shoutcast pls playlist files

my radio3 program can play most pls, m3u, and asx playlist files

it does not play mp3 files directly (maybe it could be written so it could)

i think the playlist links here would probably work (in radio3):

Well I really like the idea of pulling a list from the Binki.

I hope that verson will keep on being updated.

Here is version 3 of the updater. I actually did make a version 2, but this one is better, and the number matches the radio now

This version will append any stations on the list you don't already have to the file. This way you can keep the stations you add by hand. It has to check to see if a station is in the list already, so it goes a little slower than the last one, but it's worth it.

Good stuff, thanks!

So, now that you are on a roll is your next amazing feat to create a "record the stream" dotpup for Radio3?

I was actually thinking I'd work on my cms some more and get my website back up, then come back and make the wiki-reading part better. How it works now is fine, but you can't re-order it easily because you'd have to re-number it. (Well, actually, as long as it has all the numbers, their order doesn't matter, but then it gets confusing and messy, and numbers get lost.)

I'm going to have a busy week, but if I get time next week I'll look into it. I don't have to go to school Monday, so I might make that my project. It sounds more fun than messing with the wiki, at least.

Someone asked about this streaming audio:

rtsp://rxs-lvl3-lon01.rbn.com/farm/pull/tx-rbn-sea40:1259/encoder/cspan/g2cspan/live/cspan4db.rm CSPAN Radio

I just added a http version of the CSpan feed -- but it didn't show up after I ran Update.

BTW: My Radio3 list has 27 items yet the Wiki list only has 12.

Just tried this as well. It didn't show either.

Figured out part of the problem, the last two entries were unusual, not shoutcast feeds and they were blocking anything that followed.

I moved things around to keep them last and the new entries worked OK.

Will try the prior feeds attempts again as well.

The extra stations came with the Radio3 dotpup. I set my updater up to not delete them and any that you add manually.

OK, sorted it out as best I could.

Also, posted several streams to Katrina recovery activity.

added support for some more kinds of playlists
added some more stations
download radio.pup from the first page of this thread

this installs a roxapp called Radio3 in my-roxapps

if you already have Radio3 installed, it should backup your old station.txt file to station0904.txt

Good stuff, thanks!

BTW: Does WHQR provide BBC feed just at night or frequently?

I was expecting a North Carolina news drawl and got reports of German elections from a guy with a British accent instead! Terrible cognitive dissonance that!

GuestToo · #57 Post by **GuestToo** » Mon 05 Sep 2005, 05:56

i don't remember why i put WHQR in the station list
or even if i had a reason

i put in one or 2 stations just because they were using ogg to stream

Good to hear myself and Raffy are now available as Pawed Casts (Podcasts), within such august company as BBC Radio . . .
Ian also made a voicemail which perhaps we can locate . . .

What Fun!
Thanks guys

PS. - the date of the Foundation Weekend mentioned has moved forward one week 9-12 September 05
