Hmm 🤔 I noticed that PyRadio got more picky about what characters are allowed in the stations.csv file. Before it just didn't cared about "/", and "'" symbols used in the station's name. I first noticed that the icons for some of the stations stooped displaying, but the stations connected and started to play normally.
I still could continue to use my old stations file without the icons displaying in the notification for the affected stations but I like to have them displayed.
As how I discovered that some of the symbols could be the culprit was that I had stations that didn't contained the slash "/" and "'" symbols, those stations icons displayed while the stations that contained the slash "/" and/or "'" symbols in their names didn't displayed their icons in the notification.
I don't think this behavior is a bug, it's just an interesting thing that I discovered by chance and I don't think it is documented in the very detailed documentation of PyRadio's GitHub page.
After I changed those characters or stooped using them altogether the icons where displayed as they should. I used the "/" symbol for separating the different genres in the first portion of the station name to be more readable and for categorizing reasons, now I use "|" symbol for that purpose.
I made a test csv file for the stations for illustration purpose where I put two good examples of the station naming problem that I encountered, the first one is fine since it didn't congaing any of the two symbols that causing the problem in the first place, the second one is originally contained both symbols and for a fix I have to remove those symbols from the name of station.
As I mentioned before the "/" symbol is used in second stations name as one of the genres describing the station "W/beats", the other symbols "'" was only used in the very same stations name as one of the genres describing the same station, namely "Blips'n'beeps". I edited both of them "W/beats" become "Wbeats" and "Blips'n'beeps" now is "Blips and Boops". These simple changes fixed the not displaying some of the station's icons in the notification. 😁

#Neofetch #PyRadio

There are times when I enjoy streaming music, but I despise subscriptions and the tracking that is generally associated with those services.

A couple of alternatives that I use and enjoy are:

#Pyradio (#Linux, #Mac) a CLI music streamer that respects your privacy.

#RadioDroid (#Android) which is similar to Pyradio but with a GUI.

#Anonradio which can be streamed via the web or thru a client like VLC.

#nixos #hilfe

ich arbeite mich an den themen ab. nun möchte ich wissen:

es gibt ein NixOS Paket #pyradio.
es lässt sich installieren und funktioniert.
es gibt eine funktion remote control server.
hierfür wird das python modul "netifaces" benötigt und wird nicht gefunden.

mit welcher magie bekomme ich pyradio inlusive dieser funktion zum laufen?

ich habe mir mittlerweile dutzende seiten vom wiki ueber tutorials und sogar foren (sic!) angeschaut und verstehe nicht, was ich tun muss.

I just found out about #PyRadio today and I gotta say it is effin’ awesome. The kiddo and I have been chillin’ with the #Chillhop and #IDM channels for a good chunk of the day 😎
