radiobar's Introduction

RadioBar

macOS menubar app to play user-defined radio stations with help from rumps and VLC. It includes a remote to switch channels, on/off, pause/resume etc. Forked from RadioBar by David May

Features

▶️ Show Now Playing information (in menubar and/or notifications)
⚡ Lightweight and fast!
🖥️ Menubar only, no Dock icon
🎵 Add any streaming URL that VLC can play
💤 Stop playing when macOS goes to sleep
🕹️ Remote control via scripts and launchers such as Alfred

Installation

Make sure you have vlc installed, e.g. using brew cask install vlc. Also, if you don't have Python installed, install it with brew install python3. Use the master repo of rumps to use the sleep() and wake() events (see PR #109)

Adapt channels.json to your needs
Check the source code to e.g. change notification settings (manual for now)
Build the .app using python setup.py py2app (see Development)
Install the .app from the dist/ directory

Currently no packaged .app is distributed because I've not yet been able to include an easy way to change / update channels. Suggestions for an easy / simple mechanism are welcome!

Usage

Click a channel to start streaming (a ✔ is shown in front)
Click the current channel to pause streaming (a - is shown in front)
Click "Stop" to stop streaming a channel
"Now Playing" information shows on top of the menu and/or in menubar (truncated for long titles on smaller screens)
Notifications are show when the "Now playing" information changes (unless it's the channel / show name)

Check radiobar.py source code to set options to show notifications or show nowplaying in the menubar.

Pause / resume stops streaming (but shows the channel as paused). It's not buffering radio (which didn't seem logical for live radio). You can also use the remote.py to automate switching channels, see below.

When macOS sleeps streaming will be stopped and you have to manually resume it (this is a feature). This only works if you're using the latest version of rumps (see PR #109).

Remote

Use the include remote.py to send commands to a running RadioBar instance to change channels and switch on/off. You can also use the command as part of an Alfred workflow. remote.py understands the following commands:

n - switch to channel n in your list (starting at 1) - start playing if stopped
off - stop playing raudio
pause - pause playing radio (don't switch station, but stop streaming)
resume | on - resume playing radio (start streaming again)
nowplaying - output the now playing info
show - output the now playing info and trigger a notification

Development

Make sure you have VLC installed, ie. brew cask install vlc.

Tested in Python 2.7.x and 3.x. To run, try:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python radiobar.py

To re-build the macOS app, run:

rm -rf ./dist/ ./build/
python setup.py py2app

You can also use the supplied Makefile to use make clean, make build (default) and make install (to copy the new .app to /Applications)

Bugs

"Now playing" integration is experimental and might not work as expected
~~Sleep / wake only works when using a patched version of rumps until PR #109 gets merged.~~. This is now merged in rumps master.
parse_with_options might not not be needing the second argument (timeout) in your version. You could remove it (not sure yet if it makes any difference). I'm still trying to implement a hook that watches for metadata changes for now playing. Tips welcome :-)
To use it with the current VLC (>= 3.x) we need to preload the libvlccore.dylib as a workaround. See oaubert/python-vlc#37 for more info.

radiobar's Issues

Keyboard / Touchbar media keys not working

This app is great, but one final piece is missing, ability to pause/resume or switch radio staton with media keys on keyboard or touchbar. Also in Big Sur currently playing has been introduced to menubar and radiobar is not present there with it's playback. Finally bluetooth headphones have media controls and they are not working with radiobar.

Python works, App does not

When compiled to a ".app" file the app does not start. Instead i get an error message "RadioBar Error" with the options "Open Console" and "Terminate".
Clicking on "Open Console" opens the system Error Console, but does not offer any help...

radiobar.py is working but app is not working

Hello.
The radiobar is super nice and small. I don't know why but when start radiobar.py** script is working perfectly only message that I get in console is
python3 radiobar.py radiobar.py:195: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="? if self.active_station is not None and self.menu[self.active_station].state is not 0:.

I add my favorite radio station in channels.json and everything is running perfectly. But when use py2app, after that radiobar.app in not starting. Just get an error message "RadioBar Error" with the options "Open Console" and "Terminate". Even I try with Makefile and the result is the same. May be I'm doing it something wrong because i'm beginner at Python.

After use py2app I get this message

I did everything that is the description. Any suggestions. I'm running on MacOS HIGH SIERRA (10.13.6)

python 3.8.5 via brew

Is "ImportError: No module named 'rumps'" relevant?

Thanks,
