A stupidly simple radio player for Cinnamon

README

FM-Radio applet

This applet is a fork of the Gnome Shell extension 'SomaFM internet radio' by TheWeirdDev.
Its goal is straightforward: enjoy internet radio stations completely hassle-free.

Features

  • Search for your favorite radio station using the search feature.
  • Add a custom cover to your radio station.
  • Record your favorite music. Click on the cover and let's go!
  • Backup and restore radio stations
  • Multimedia key support

Important

To ensure the radio works and the applet doesn't return error messages, make sure you have the multimedia codecs installed.

On Linux Mint, the codecs can be installed directly during the OS installation, or later by installing the mint-meta-codecs package.

On Debian-based distributions, the required plugins are named:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, gstreamer1.0-plugins-good, and gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly.

On other distributions like CachyOS (Arch-based), the packages are named:
gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-bad, and gst-plugins-ugly.

On LM 22.3, was working perfectly. Unfortunately, today's update v1.3.2 causes cinnamon crash.

Version 1.3.3 fixes the crash occurring on LM22.3.

Thanx for the immediate response, everything seems to be working fine again! Thanx for your effort and the great app too! I was wondering if it could be easy for you to add the feature of showing station and song info somehow while playing, e.g on cinnamon sound app. I also modified a .po file, making a Greek language translation, but just copying it into app's po file, didn't work. Childish thought of mine I know, I'm not so familiar with all these... Anyway, thank you once more and keep on the good effort!

Modifying a .po file and adding it to the applet’s folder is not enough; it has to be edited using Poedit. Saving the file with this application generates a compiled .mo file, which then needs to be placed in .local/share/locale. There is no Greek translation for my applet yet, but I hope a translator will take care of it in the near future.

Goodmorning, thank you for the guidance, Greek translation worked fine for me!!! I could help sending you somehow .po & .mo archives but apart from here, I don't know how to communicate with you (e.g. p.m, mail...).

Everything works correctly on LMDE 7, but I just tested it on LM 22.3 and found the reason for the crash. Please open a bug report on GitHub.

Do you get an error message in Looking Glass? Everything is working perfectly fine on my end, without any crashes.
