It will look like this: ' / 12' for on or this ' \ ' for off. '12' is stream id.

Optional openbox pipemenu and some conkyness

Long&boring install/test/debug instructions:

1. install

# required
sudo apt install mpv libnotify-bin sed procps socat jq inotify-tools curl wget
# script
cd ~/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brontosaurusrex/stretchbang/master/bin/radioClicky
chmod +x radioClicky
# configure script as needed, change 
# array=("url1" "url2" "urlN")
# to your prefered radio stations.

2. test from terminal

radioClicky           # show status 
radioClicky toggle    # on/off
radioClicky notify    # notify-send (or echo) icy-title or stream url
radioClicky +         # next station
radioClicky -         # prev station
radioClicky 5         # station with id 5
radioClicky sysinfo   # post this with your complaint
radioClicky help      # for more

2. b) make short version of command (optional for easier cli usage), a softlink:

cd ~/bin
ln -s radioClicky r
# now 'r' is your new command

Note: radioClicky is perfectly useful from cli, so if you don't need any gui's thats it.

^ tmux left: interactive cli, right: 'radioClicky spam'

3. a) Adding to tint2 as executor

radioClicky tint2 # for instructions

3. b) and/or Adding to openbox menu (optional)

# In .config/openbox/menu.xml add
<menu id="radio" label="radio" execute="radioClicky openbox" />

3. c) conky showing last 5 valid icy-titles (optional)

${font RobotoCondensed-Light:size=12}${color cccccc}
${execpi 5 radioClicky last | tail -n 5}

3. d) example shortkeys in openbox rc.xml (alt + e, r, t, n)

    <!-- toggleRadio -->
    <keybind key="A-r">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>r t</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- Radio next -->
    <keybind key="A-t">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>r +</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- Radio prev -->
    <keybind key="A-e">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>r -</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- Radio what song -->
    <keybind key="A-n">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>r n</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

4. debug
Start tint2 from terminal and observe what happens when you click on the '/'.

At this point you should be in business, if not:

5. Complain, please add this output next to your complaint:

radioClicky sysinfo

6. changelog
- Changed internals to bidirectional remote model (mpv).
- Changed tint2 executor to continuous version

Looks convenient but you'll have to talk me through it. Putting it in ~/bin, naming it radioClicky and making it executable doesn't WFM.

/thick in the head

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-29 22:31:45

Testing from cli:

radioClicky toggle    # on/off
radioClicky notify    # notify-send icy-title
radioClicky           # show status

If that is working fine, next step is that tint2rc executor code, basically patching lmb to "toggle", rmb to "notify" and occasional refresh to "show status", that way you can stop toggle it from cli and tint2 will eventually refresh.

note: Bunch of code is missing to check for actual pid/mpv playback (maybe later).

ah, thanks. radioClicky play has it running, but no slash in the systray yet.

-edit- lol, your station is currently doing caller "Yo' mamma is...' jokes. Good times.

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-29 23:00:48

There is no "play" in latest version, check if you are up to date. Edit: It's not a systray, it's an executor thing.

radioClicky - hehe, this just too cool! It worked fine for me from terminal (not the tint2 stuff so far). While trying it out I also received "line 13 no such process" error messages, but I might have done something wrong.

If you check the running processes, you might notice "youtube-dl". Starting mpv with --no-ytdl stops running it.

For the life of me I could not filter out the url for xray.fm in FF (at least the one in the network tab did not work...

brontosaurusrex · 2017-09-30 07:47:37

"line 13 no such process"

@martix, Thats missing code for actual check, rm ~/tmp/radiopid should fix it.

mpv with --no-ytdl

Fixed.

Also noticed that older tint (stretch version) will not refresh the status after click (it will eventually on interval), don't know how to fix that and I don't want to do another continuous kind of script, it's pain to do.

For the life of me I could not filter out the url for xray.fm in FF

http://listen.xray.fm:8000/stream

(In FF inspector under network/other)

^Many thanks for the link! Great to have this radio-url, I was looking for it several times.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, all I find under network/other is "Remote adress: 195.181.217.58:443" - which is not the stream.

I'm wondering: Is the original idea having a "/" or "\" in the system tray and clicking on it turn on/off the radio? Anyhow it's a great little tool for the terminal even without tint2.

Certainly could be seen somewhere, so I can't claim that, hardly an idea anyway

Not to rain on bronto's parade, but if anyone wants a more flexible systray radio icon...

^ That's neat, but I like the idea of rex's simple script.. It works here at the command line, but left, right-clicking the / on thint2 has no effect. I also like the radio streams posted.

For what it's worth, here's Kevin Smith's "Smodcast Internet Radio." Some shows are better than others, and it's very NSFW language.

@obscuration, a. Perhaps post your tint2rc and tint2 --version.
b. To see what's going on, (debug) start tint2 from terminal and click around.
edit: I have added long&boring install instructions to first post ^.

Added openbox pipe menu option as an option, it's pretty awesome at this point imho (almost brilliant).

It works great now. I upgraded to tint2 15.2, not sure if that's related the issue I had.

It's really cool and minimal.

^Oh, it works for you on 15.2? Hmmm, I must be doing something wrong... I have all the packages, added E, starting in terminal shows correctly "panel items: LTSCE", code added to the end of tint2rc too, I can even see tint2 showing in terminal "tint2: Executing: radioClicky # echo status / or \"-messages but there is nothing to see in tint2. Tried also LTSEC and ELTSC, changed font type and size - no luck.

Otherwise it's really cool from command line, that 'almost' can be surely removed from the title. Unfortunately radionomy has geoblocking but the other stations work great.

@martix: post your tint2rc?

obscurant · 2017-10-04 19:11:42

The version of mpv shipped with Bundenlabs Hydrogen doesn't support the --no-ytdl switch, or the lavfi switch, and will fail.

Error parsing option no-ytdl (option not found)
Setting commandline option --no-ytdl= failed.
Exiting... (Fatal error)

[libav] AVFilterGraph: No such filter: 'loudnorm'
[lavfi] Can't configure libavfilter graph.
Reinitialization did not work, audio filter 'lavfi' returned error code -2
Could not create audio filter chain.
Error at audio filter chain pre-init!
Audio: no audio

Nor does the version in jessie backports (not sure if they're the same version).

It works fine without those switches though.

Thanks for reporting, will think about how to catch and report bad exists, if there is a low verbosity stderr switch that will work with modern and older mpvs. Or at least catch mpv exiting with error. Until then I'd stick that under 'configure the script'. p.s. Another option is to change entire model to running mpv as slave, don't know if it's really worth bothering (It will make script at least two times larger and it's getting quite fat even without that).

edit: status function should now at least catch the situation when player has exited and pidfile is still there (status echoes when running radioClicky with no switches), eventually showing something like '/ err', showing ' \ ', basically I'am scripting around instead of attacking real problem (flaky model).
