Simple GTK Radio v0.1.20.1 (modified from v0.1.19)

Post by **fredx181** » Mon Jul 01, 2024 4:47 pm

The great Simple GTK Radio program from (old)forum member dejan555 has gone in transitions over time.
Years ago, originally it had the option to create a local database from the "RadioSure" project (program for Windows), but RadioSure went EOL someday, so next versions of Simple GTK Radio (e.g. v0.1.19) were made without that option (not being able anymore to search radio stations from that database).
Now, since some time already there's alternative RadioSure database index online, see: https://www.radiosure.fr/ and I now did include again the option to download (and search from) that database in new version 0.1.20 (index contains more than 26000 radio stations !!)

Here's Simple GTK Radio pet package v0.1.20 v0.1.20.1 :
EDIT: RE-attached, now v0.1.20.1 with some fixes done for in case it's running with gtkdialog built with GTK3

simplegtkradio-0.1.20.1-noarch.pet: simplegtkradio v0.1.20.1 pet package; (151.69 KiB) Downloaded 73 times

Modified from v0.1.19, makes use of player mpv (so required to have it installed)
Changes;
- option in "preferences" restored to download the alternative RadioSure database (see pic below)
- in case of saving to new playlist (e.g. from search) if exist already, there's prompt to replace or not
- restored display of volume slider (wasn't visible in v0.1.19, no good reason IMHO for removing that from the interface. edit: that is: if amixer is installed it should work from what I tested, also when pulseaudio or pipewire is running)

Screenshots (from running in BookwormPup):

: main GUI; Screenshot.png (111.82 KiB) Viewed 1011 times

: preferences (with button to download database index); Screenshot(2).png (35.54 KiB) Viewed 1011 times

P.S. Also included script simplegtkradio-alt , it has no menu entry, to launch, run from terminal: simplegtkradio-alt, but note; it depends on package jq installed (for search online)
Difference is that for searching it will do it direct online from: http://all.api.radio-browser.info/ , (so no local database needed), see also more info about how I did basically / similar : viewtopic.php?p=76961#p76961
Perhaps nice alternative in case https://www.radiosure.fr/ will be offline in the future, you'll never know

Trying it now, looks good.

It is displaying "Blues Radio (Blues)" at the top, but I cannot see how to change that category.

Also, I get this if start it from a terminal:

Code: Select all

# simplegtkradio
A: 00:00:02 / 00:00:10 (27%) Cache: 7.6s/330KB
widget_combobox_refresh(): <default> not implemented for this widget.

Hi everybody:

This days I am out of home so I can not test with my puppy, but this look fantastic and I'll test it as soon I go back home again (2months) haha.

@BarryK , I had the same problem with categories. When searching or adding radio-stations, I have no problem creating new categories to include them but I don't know how to delete the categories I had created.

N.b.- I think default categories can be deleted/edited if you go to Simple gtk radio installation folder and there you delete the file with this category name.

Talking about edition, usually is better adding new stations editing categories using gtk radio software options.

Some users told me that this program is old, but I really find it useful and have interesting options as record channels. For me it works perfectly.

Have a nice day u all.

If you mean "playlist", you can change to another with the small button at the far bottom-right.

Also, I get this if start it from a terminal:

Code: Select all

# simplegtkradio
A: 00:00:02 / 00:00:10 (27%) Cache: 7.6s/330KB
widget_combobox_refresh(): <default> not implemented for this widget.

Strange , I don't see that, perhaps has to do with your gtkdialog version.
I tested also with gtkdialog GTK3 and didn't see it either, but did find a few other problems, so therefore a new version with fixes.

N.b.- I think default categories can be deleted/edited if you go to Simple gtk radio installation folder and there you delete the file with this category name.

The default and the ones you possibly created yourself are in ~/.config/simplegtkradio/playlists/ , so deleting should be done there manually.
