MMM-InternetRadio
MagicMirror module for playing internet radio
This module is based on the idea of using puppeteer taken from MMM-MusicOnDemand.
It allows you yo configure most Internet Radio stations using selectors for items on the page to pick up:
artist and title of what’s currently playing
play and pause buttons
Confirmed working environment:
Raspberry Pi 3b+ with Raspbian with preinstalled chromium
node 8.15.1
latest MagicMirror (v.2.6.0)
Installation
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
git clone https://github.com/Aruta79/MMM-InternetRadio.git
cd MMM-InternetRadio
npm install
It installs a puppeteer package with a chromium browser (~100mb-270mb). If you don’t want to use the puppeteer browser or if you’re running on a Raspberry Pi you may want to delete this extra chromium browser:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-InternetRadio/node_modules/puppeteer
rm -r .local-chromium
Configuration
Copy the following to your config.txt:
{
module: "MMM-InternetRadio",
position: "middle_center",
config: {
}
},
The module is by default configured to play RMF Classic, RMF Celtic and Encore
Additional configuration
Additional stations can be configured using the following syntax:
stations: [
{
name: "RMF Classic",
url: "https://www.rmfon.pl/play,7",
titlePath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #player-texts > #now-playing > div.title',
artistPath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #player-texts > #now-playing > div.artist',
coverPath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #cover-container > #cover > img',
playPath: '#player-icon',
pausePath: '#player-icon',
footerWait: '#footer',
}],
name - name of station
url - link to “Listen live” or similar page that actually plays the sound
titlePath, artistPath, coverPath - selectors for, respectively, title, artist and cover image - should point to some elements of the page to dislay appropriate info about what’s playing
playPath, pausePath - selectors for clickable buttons to play and stop sound - may, in many cases, point to the same item
footerWait - item on the page to wait for to ensure page has finished loading - should be any item towards the end of the page, or empty string to disable waiting - usually good to have one defined, but not needed with decent connections
The module also has two icons to control volume, sending VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN notifications, usually for use with MMM-Volume
Troubleshooting
See MMM-MusicOnDemand for info about using puppeteer and chromium.
