Shoutcast and Radionomy tuner for mplayer, mpg123 or radiotray

I'm starting migrate some of my stuff over from #!, and recommend others to do the same, just in case...

Anyway, this was written in 2011 but it still works (needed some tweaking as web interfaces changed). It's a cli interactive script that sends queries to the shoutcast and radionomy directories and makes a list for you to choose a station, which is then played in mplayer, mpg123 or radiotray. radiotray is the easiest and most likely to play the stream, mpg123 is the fastest, but I often use mplayer too...

I'm thinking of adding a live365 module some time.

Just tested on Jessie, I found mplayer uncooperative but substituting mplayer2 fixed things. It's fine on Wheezy but I haven't yet looked in to what's wrong with 3:1.1.1+20150226+svn37375-dmo4 from deb-multimedia. I think you'd better go with mplayer2. (or radiotray or mpg123 of course)

Another, I failed (on Jessie) to get either terminator or xfce4-terminal to send a SIGQUIT with Ctrl+\ but urxvt was OK. On Wheezy xfce4-terminal was OK, but lxterminal was not. Again urxvt (which I generally use) was OK. It's not a big deal, but these signals let you control the script a little bit directly from the keyboard. If anyone can shed any light on different terminals' handling of signals, please do so!

Anyway, from --help:
"This is an interactive script to query the Shoutcast and Radionomy listings,
put the results in a menu,
and load the chosen radio station in radiotray, mpg123 or mplayer.
There is also an option to record with streamripper.

If you exit the script and leave mpg123 or mplayer running,
you can close either of them with the command:
echo quit >/tmp/radio_pipe

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
Ctrl+C to exit normally
Ctrl+\ to terminate and close player (handles SIGQUIT)
Ctrl+Z to start recording current station (handles SIGTSTP)"

The chosen player runs completely independently in the background, not occupying a terminal or (if mplayer or mpg123) a systray icon - it is controlled via a pipe, and can continue playing after the script has closed. The script was developed over a period of time so it's a bit gnarly looking, but generally works quite well.

#!/bin/bash
# shoutcast_radionomy_search.sh
# search shoutcast and radionomy,
# send url to radiotray, mpg123, mplayer or another player
# send url to streamripper to record
#
# version 3.3
#
# Needs curl, [radiotray, dbus | mpg123 | mplayer], [streamripper], [xsel], [perl]
# If streamripper is omitted recording will not work.
#
# xsel enables pasting from the X selection (to a config file etc.)
# Comment out line 294 "printf '%s'..." if you don't use it.
#
# perl is used to urlencode the query.
# Comment out line 252 and uncomment line 251 to escape spaces only
# if your system doesn't have perl.
#
# KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
# Ctrl+C to exit normally
# Ctrl+\ to terminate and close player (may not work on all terminals)
# Ctrl+Z to start recording current station (handles SIGTSTP)

##### choose from radiotray, mpg123 or mplayer #####
#player=radiotray
#player=mpg123
player=mplayer

# Set this to something other than 'true'
# to have audio player exit with script.
# Otherwise player will continue till closed separately.
# Even with 'keep_player=true', if script is stopped with Ctrl+\
# then player will exit too.
keep_player=true

##### code to record a radio stream (url is $1) in a new terminal #####
# Add your own options to streamripper's command line,
# edit ~/.config/streamripper/streamripper.ini,
# change urxvt to another terminal
# or use a different command altogether.
recorder() {
    ( setsid urxvt -e streamripper "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1 & )
}

# where to put player control fifo
# (radiotray doesn't use this)

Re: Shoutcast and Radionomy tuner for mplayer, mpg123 or radiotray

thanks again for this!
i just spent a little time searching for existing radio utilities, but they all seem to come with a predefined list of stations, so they don't search for stations. which is pretty much useless imho.
the more happy to have this one still working.

i added support for mocp, and an option to append the currently playing url to a list of favorites.
i also added 2 clear screen commands, because it makes it easier to keep an eye on the sometimes rather long menu; it's a matter of taste i guess. they're in the last few lines of the script.

i also added a little extra to update the terminal title with the name of the currently playing station, and another little extra to convert some stray '&ampXXX;' entities to normal ascii, with recode. it checks if recode is in $PATH, so nothing will break if it isn't.

i'd be happy if you want to incorporate some of that.

Re: Shoutcast and Radionomy tuner for mplayer, mpg123 or radiotray

Hi ohnonot many thanks for your contribution. Those ideas all look good, and I'll try them out and probably add them to the script.  cool

Re: Shoutcast and Radionomy tuner for mplayer, mpg123 or radiotray

I think the "Add current station to playlist" functionality still needs some work.
a) a better mechanism to distinguish whether the link is an url or a playlist
b) adding the name of the station, not just the url
i'll look into it eventually, but not soon (family holiday trip coming up).
but so far the script has been working well for me, i've been using it daily to discover good stations (and all the crap that is floating around the 'net).
