[MMM-RadioDe] - Simple Web Radio.de player

Steff

Description:

This is an extension for the MagicMirror. It can show/hide a webradio stream provided by Radio.de You can start and stop this web radio stream by hiding the module. It uses the suspend/ resume method of MagicMirror for this. Currently the setup is rather simple. Potential extensions for the future might be selection of the radio station via remote control plugin, tuning of volume. Currently I do use the module to start in the evening the favorite radio channel of my children and to stop it again once they do sleep.

First of all awesome add on for my mirror :)
I seem to have a problem…

The radio station ssms to load normally on my magicmirror remote on my desktop but doesnt load the station when on my mirror itself. Cant really find anything wrong because its working when checking it remotely.

The browser plugin shows but does not start, but only on the mirror itself.

Steff

Which radiostation is ssms ? Might it be possible that radio.de does not cover this radio station ? Normally I can start directly in the webbrowser my desired radio station by .radio.de , e.g. http://antenneduesseldorf.radio.de/. If I however try to start http://ssms.radio.de/ I am redirected to the home page of radio.de. So my interpretation is that the station name might be differently for radio.de. In order to help you it would be helpful to get full station name. If it is the super saturday morning show, it looks like radio.de does not reference it. This would mean that my plugin will not work you.

Disturbx

Sorry man I let you the wrong direction.
I’m using SLAM, radio.de is covering my station as it will work when I connect to the mirror remotely (via local ip:8080) but not on the mirror itself.

I even tried it with Antenne, the standard option but works in remote, not on the mirror itself.

Steff

Hm, Just tried it in my own MMM, with following config:

{
        module: 'MMM-RadioDe',
        position: 'top_right', // This can be any of the regions.
        classes: 'scheduler',
        config: {
                // PLAY RADIO BETWEEN 18:50 and 21:00 EVERY DAY
                //module_schedule: {from: '50 18 * * *', to: '00 21 * * *' },
                // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                api_key: 'xxxxxxxx',
                station: 'slam'
                }
        },

In my case it immediately start on my magicmirror:

You mention that it does not start, did you set potentially the autoplay option to false ?

Could you please post your config ?

{
                       module: 'MMM-RadioDe',
                       position: 'bottom_left', // This can be any of the regions.
                       config: {
                               // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                               station: "antenne",
                               // can be obtained in embed section of station, e.g. http://antennekids.radio.de/
                               api_key: 'xxx',
                               //optional,
                               height:"92", // in pixel
                               width:"360", // in pixel
                       }
               },

This is my config.
The weird is it is working when I go to http://192.168.1.xxx:8080 but not on the mirror itself

This is the player on the mirror itself

@Disturbx Honestly I am completely clueless. I did some updates today to several modules and now my MMM crashes after some time. I am not sure whether it is related to the radio module. I am currently debugging this, potentially I get an idea from this. The only thing I can offer you is to post you a configuration how you could to the similar setup with the iFrame module, if you are interested in. (Without station select, start/ stop via hide mechanism)

Hey @Steff, any updates on the module and how its not working with mine?

Steff

@Disturbx Wanted to post a reply already yesterday, but was too stupid to use git push…, I modified the behavior slightly, letting the module wait until the others are started, added as well some changes. I put them to the develop branch, so if you change your git to develop, you can try whether this helps.
How to do:
Enter local directory of module --> git checkout develop --> git pull
Why develop branch ? I did only test on my development platform, but not on the Raspi itself.
Feedback highly welcome

Hi Steff,

I have just tested your module which is working quite good so far. The are two things I would like to address:

I´m running it with station “ffhlounge” and sometimes there are short dropouts while playing the stream (CPU is between 2 and 4% and free memory at 44%), maybe you can test if it happens on your side as well, I have a dedicated radio where I can run the stream without dropouts
while running the mirror in dev mode to debug a problem with another module I found some 403 errors for the RadioDe module. Can you also have a look at them? Attached there is a screenshot.

best regards,
F.

Just integrated another player (https://www.muses.org/setup) using iFrame which is working without dropouts. Maybe a problem with radio.de?

Preve

Is it possible to make a kind of “Radio Stations” list to select from. Or do we just add the module a couple of times with on each line another radio station?

Hello everybody.
How do I manage the antenne Bayern is played.
I have opened the Station once in the browser and when I start the MagicMirror then comes again antenna Niedersachsen.

tbbear

Maybe have a look at MMM-MyRadio ;-)

@Sputnik I suspected, that maybe my Wifi connection is not good enough but the speedtest shows 11-14Mbt download speed and about 4 Mbt upload speed which I believe should be sufficient.

My present situation is a follows: I get the radio station to play but I got many many drop-outs.
I tried iFrame as an alternative platform to play radio and I have the same problem. Changing the radio station or link doesnt help either.
I dont think its an issue with the module but probably more with the Pi resourcs. My internet connection clocks at >10 Mbyte download and>4upload speed hence I dont think thats the issue.
Now how to find out the actually cause ?
Could I try to use a lower quality (bitrate) radio stream instead or allocate more hardware resources ???
Please help !
