v1.11.1 is here. It moves the "Do not check dependencies" option from the Settings Behavior tab to the context menu. This avoids error messages.

claudiux-2 days ago

v1.10.1 is here and fixes the bug reported above by @Neonteepee.

Neonteepee-1 day ago

That works - Thanks very much for your quick response

claudiux-3 days ago

v1.10.0 is here. It adds capability to swap Artist and Title for certain radio stations (like Planet Rock). To do that, check the box "Artist/Title swap" of the concerned radio station, in the Radio list.

Neonteepee-4 days ago

Hi LMDE6 with cinnamon 5.6.0 LibMPV1 is no longer installable in Deb12 - Using libmpv2 I think Consequently I get messages at login saying libmpv1 is a virtual package and then the 'missing dependencies' notification. Is there anything you can do to fix that or do i live with it? The applet does work Really appreciate all your work - thankyou

claudiux-2 days ago

Bug fixed by version 1.10.1. Please update this applet.

claudiux-3 days ago

Hi Neonteepee I'll take this issue into account. For now, try installing libmpv2 and checking the "Do not check dependencies" option in the Behavior tab of this applet checking. Please tell me if that works.

claudiux-3 days ago

*of this applet settings*, of course.

claudiux-1 week ago

v1.9.1 is here. Now, mpv-mpris is not required before Cinnamon 5.4.

claudiux-2 weeks ago

v1.9.0 - Now uses pipeware on Fedora Cinnamon 5.8+ and changes location of yt-dlp: from `~/bin/` to `~/.local/bin/`, as requested by Reza Hajianpour (@Borderliner). The use of pipewire will be extended to all distros in the near future.

Reza Hajianpour-2 weeks ago

Two huge blockers for me. One is it requires `pulseaudio` while latest Fedora 39 Cinnamon uses `pipewire` and installing the former conflicts with the latter. Second is that I hate the `bin` folder in my home directory. Please move it somewhere more hidden like `.local/bin`. Thanks.

claudiux-2 weeks ago

I'll take all that into account.

claudiux-2 weeks ago

Done.

claudiux-2 weeks ago

v1.8.1 is here; it fixes the bug reported below by Severga.

Severga-2 weeks ago

Hello, Claudiux! It wants soup-3.0 but in package manager I only observe 2.4... What should I do?..

claudiux-2 weeks ago

Hello, Severga! Which distro? Which version of Cinnamon?

Severga-2 weeks ago

Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon 5.2.7

claudiux-2 weeks ago

OK. I see the problem. For now, in the Behavior tab of this applet settings please check the "Do not check about dependencies" box.

Severga-2 weeks ago

Thanks! It works good now!

claudiux-3 weeks ago

Thanks to all the translators of this applet! https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/translation-status-tables/.translation-tables/tables/Radio3.0%40claudiux.md#

claudiux-1 month ago

v1.7.0 is here. It try distinguishing artist and song name in tooltip.

AFI4711-1 month ago

The problem occurs if using Mint 20.3. (my main OS). With Mint 21.2 the "Sound Settings" open a new window with the settings! Version 1.50 and 1.6.0 are working fine. My problem aside, the applet is quite great!

claudiux-1 month ago

In this applet settings, in Menu tab, please check "Show system items in the menu". It also works using Cinnamon 5.2.7 (Mint 20.3).

AFI4711-1 month ago

I'm using version 1.6.0. "Sound Settings" seems to be not supported?

claudiux-1 month ago

Version 1.6.0 is now available. The Radio3.0_EXAMPLES.json file now contains over 300 radio stations. You can import those not yet in your list, using the Import tab of this applet.

peterf99-2 months ago

Hello, where can i change the default download folder in Applet

claudiux-2 months ago

In this applet settings, Recording tab; first field.

speleomania-4 months ago

Thanks Cladiux for this great extension! a quick feature request below: - love the option to record to a file. Wondering if you'd be able to implement a "rolling" in-memory only recording? For example let's say I give the app X MB of RAM to work with (or Y mins, configurable in the GUI) to continuously loop-record the last Y mins of radio audio, so in case I hear I song I like and want to keep, only then I can commit the audio to the disk, otherwise it just keeps going in memory only thus reducing the unnecessary disk writes. Currently my workflow is to create a ram disk in linux and continuously record to it, but this is a bit of a hack thanks a lot for your work on this extension!

claudiux-4 months ago

I'll see what I can do about that. For now, you can use the "Start recording" option in this applet's context menu. To make sure you don't go over a song's duration, select a manual stop in the "Record" tab of the settings. But you'll need to be careful to stop the recording yourself. One of the difficulties will be determining the size of the memory allocated according to the duration required, as this depends on the flow rate of the stream.

speleomania-4 months ago

Thanks claudiux, I wouldn't worry about determining the size of the memory depending on the stream audio specs - let the user worry about that, just read a value from the gui for the size of the memory buffer the user wants to allocate On modern machines allocating for example 50mb or 100mb shouldn't be an issue on any machine - assuming roughly 1min of radio quality audio = 1mb, thats more than an hour of loop recording, which is pretty generous So start recording audio in this buffer, when the end is reached loop back and start from the beginning. Stopping the recording and saving to disk is of course all manual operations This way the user knows they have the last x mins/y mb of radio stored in ram and can be saved to disk on demand

claudiux-6 months ago

Dear users, Radio3.0 v1.4.0 is here! You can now replace the applet icon with the radio station logo, if available. This option can be accessed via the context menu (right-click on the icon). Radio stations with a logo are flagged with a star (*) in the 'My Radio Stations' menu. Enjoy it!

claudiux-6 months ago

For this to work properly, you need to update your station list in the following way: * Open this applet's parameters (right-click, then 'Configure...'). In the first tab ('Radios'): * Save your station list (button provided). * Check your station list against the database (button provided).

claudiux-6 months ago

Radio3.0 v1.3.0 is here! It is ready for Cinnamon 5.8 and some bugs are fixed. Enjoy it!

rmisra1-6 months ago

Excellent Applets !!! which i was using for Year to listen Radio and download YT Audio files using Linux-mint 21.1 thanks to Development Team

claudiux-6 months ago

Thank you!

anaconda69-7 months ago

It would be nice if the volume scrolling was in the same direction as Cinnamon!

claudiux-7 months ago

Good idea! I immediately make a pull request. This will be taken into account in the next version.

claudiux-7 months ago

Version 1.2.2 is here. Volume scrolling is now in the same direction as Cinnamon.

anaconda69-7 months ago

Thank you very much! That's great!

claudiux-7 months ago

Happy for you and all other users. Maybe add a star?

claudiux-7 months ago

Radio3.0 v1.2.0 is here! You can now use hotkeys to control the radio sound volume. To do that, go to the Menu tab in the Settings of this applet. At the bottom of this tab, choose these keyboard shortcuts. Personally, I use the usual shortcuts coupled with the CTRL key and it works very well. Enjoy!

claudiux-7 months ago

In addition, you can choose whether or not to show an OSD when changing the radio volume, in the Behavior tab of the Settings of this applet.

claudiux-8 months ago

Radio3.0 v1.1.0 is here. You can now keep the downloaded video that allowed the extraction of its soundtrack. (This slows down the extraction process.) You will get, in addition to the sound file, three files: * a `.mkv` file which contains the complete video (images and sound), * a `.f244.webm` file which contains only the images, * a `.f251. webm` file which only contains sound. You can delete these last two `.webm` files. I hope you will like it. Claudiux

Devilzeyez-8 months ago

Hi there love the app, but i have a question on how to change the station from the icon, when hover the mouse over it, it says click to select another station! is there a way to do that? cheers

claudiux-8 months ago

Hi Devilzeyez, By clicking on the icon of the applet, you can choose to listen to a station listened to recently, or another station ("My radios") or search for new stations in the database. Thank you.

Radio3.0 v1.0.2 is here! These translations are now available: es, fr, hr, hu, tr. Thanks to all these translators! Special thanks to Serkan ÖNDER for its Turkish translation of the help page. Enjoy all that!

Serkan ÖNDER-10 months ago

Hi Claudiux. thank you for the app. Will there be multilingual support in the user manual? for Turkish if you want to add. MANUAL.html file. https://github.com/serkan-maker/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/master/Radio3.0%40claudiux/files/Radio3.0%40claudiux/help/tr/MANUAL.html

claudiux-9 months ago

Thank you very much Serkan! Can you update your MANUAL.md file with md tag titles and links, please? For my part, I will update this applet to display the help in the user's language, when it exists.

Serkan ÖNDER-9 months ago

claudiux-9 months ago

What a good job! Many thanks to you! To create .md files and export them to .html, I use 'retext' (`apt install retext`).

Radio3.0 v1.0.1 is here! Now compatible with fresh install of Linux Mint 21.1 Additionally, you can access the Manual from the context menu of this applet. Enjoy it!

claudiux-11 months ago

If you like this applet, please log in with your Github account and add a star at the top of this page. It now needs at least 22 stars to appear on the first page of popular applets. It would be a nice way to thank my work!

viggen66-10 months ago

Already gave u a star, first think I did.

claudiux-10 months ago

Thank you!

claudiux-11 months ago

I just made a pull request for Radio3.0 v1.0.1, which is compatible with a fresh install of Linux Mint 21.1. Please wait for the update.

viggen66-11 months ago

Thanks Claudiux, For your promply reply and fix.

claudiux-10 months ago

It's normal. I really want Radio3.0 users to be fully satisfied.

viggen66-10 months ago

Claudiux, It works great again, excellent work, now fully compatible with Mint 21.1

kurbkick-11 months ago

Hi claudiux, First off, love the applet. It's a major part of my work day, so thanks. And I look forward to the 1.0.1 release. However, I am having the same experience as viggen66. After a clean install of Linux Mint 21.1 I cannot see the applet in the panel. I've tried a dark theme and changing the symbolic icon as you suggested and neither worked. I don't know the root cause, but if you have additional suggestions let me know and I'll give them a shot and report back. Keep up the good work, kurbkick

kurbkick-11 months ago

Edit: The problem only seems to occur when one performs a fresh install. I did not have issues when the applet was added in Mint 21 and then upgraded to 21.1.

viggen66-11 months ago

Dear developer, I don't know if you are aware, there was a major update to the disto Linux Mint to version 21.1, which revamped Cinnamon to a more modern UI, it seems Radio3.0 is having some issues with the new Cinnamon, in my machine it doesn't appear the applet in the panel. Thanks

claudiux-11 months ago

Hi viggen66, Please try to change the default color of this applet icon: Right-click on a panel -> Applets -> open the Radio3.0 settings -> go to the bottom of the Behavior tab and change the Color of the symbolic icon while radio is off. Other way: Try with a dark theme. I just tried Radio3.0 with Cinnamon 5.6.5 on Linux Mint 21.1 and there are no issues. Soon, the version 1.0.1 of Radio3.0. Regards. Claudiux

claudiux-11 months ago

Thanks to haggen88 for these Spanish translations!

claudiux-11 months ago

Thanks to AMI911 for these updated Hungarian translations!

viggen66-11 months ago

Hi Claudiux, Thank you very much for this app, never seen just a complete and full feature app for internet radio, simple love the shorcuts you made on the icon with left click, middle click and volume with scroll, awesome detail and great idea you had. This is an excellent project.

claudiux-11 months ago

Hi viggen66, Thank you for this comment very pleasant to read! This applet required a lot of work and seeing it appreciated encourages me to persevere. Regards. Claudiux

John Ruschmeyer-1 year ago

Very nice and very functional app. One minor issue for me: I don't run pulseaudio on my system. Rather, I run pipewire with the pipewire-pulse interface. As a result, I get a message everytime that the applet is initialized telling me to install pipewire. Can you either add a check for pipewire-pulse or an option to suppress the check/message?

claudiux-1 year ago

Hi John, Thank you for your comment. I just added an option "Do not check about dependencies" in the Behavior tab of settings. This will appear in my next Pull Request. Please wait for update... Regards. Claudiux
