Radio module

[PXNDA]

Does anyone know a radio module or could be happy to code it which allows you to play radio stations? Or maybe you could help me code one?

@PXNDA

You would need a radio-reciever then. Or Are you referring to web broadcasts from radio stations?
If it’s the last one there is a couple of modules that does that already.

A quick search for “radio” in the forum gives me these :

The three on top uses mpg123, a command line mp3 player that supports m3u radio-streams.

@broberg

I want to play radio stations such as LBC. I don’t know if I can use web broadcasts for it.

LBC have some channels with m3u streams it looks like :

LBC (London stream)
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBCLondon.m3u (HE AAC format)
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBCLondonMP3Low (MP3 low bit rate)

LBC (National stream)
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBCUK.m3u (HE AAC format)
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBCUKMP3Low (MP3 low bit rate)

LBC London News 1152
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBC1152.m3u (HE AAC format)
http://media-ice.musicradio.com/LBC1152MP3Low (MP3 low bit rate)

@broberg

Would it work with a voice assistant? I’m using Evan Cohen’s magic mirror software, so will I have to modify the code?

@PXNDA yes, the modules here do not work there, and vice versa…

I have a sample module for smart-mirror as well as MagicMirror.

for help on smart-mirror you need to use discord on the smart-mirror channel.
