Radion can be customized as far as the station selecting program is concerned. The user can choose between:
- read
- fzf
- rofi
- dmenu
Update: Introduced new feature: customizing prompt text for fzf dmenu and rofi.
Update: MacOS support added now thanks to Andrea Schäfer
Also, I was forced by my daughter to add some anime radio stations...
Update: Recording functionality added, with the use of another (you guessed it) bash script
Also options in read as Preferred selector are also case insensitive.
Any feedback is appreciated!
In bash? Impressive!
My first thought every time I see a pure bash project: "wow" followed by "but... why".
I get that we have bash on most machines, reducing dependencies, all that jazz. But it's so painful to do anything nontrivial with it. There are so many small potential papercuts and edge cases, I'd rather pull my teeth out with a pair of pliers than code more than a simple script in it.
That’s why it’s impressive. It’s not easy.
Everything is not pure bash here, it's a radio frontend for mpv. It is also using sed, awk... A standard bash use case actually.
My entire homelab env is written in "pure bash". Bare metal deployments, creation, build, deployment, update, and backup, of docker containers (which are also just convenience wrappers around other pure bash projects of mine.). Etc...
I do it because I got sick of losing data, work, workflow or convenience to black boxes I didn't create myself. Hell, even with my third party projects like Plex I have a lot of bash automation around extracting playlists from the internal sqlite db, etc. It really shifts your perspective on what's possible when you build things by hand yourself.
Not to mention the tool isn't meant to be anything more than glue between other programs
Keep in mind that what you find painful, some people find fun :)
