As you can see in the -screenshot above, it contains a simple plaintext list of all available -categories, which can be broken down further and further. In addition, -radio shows are available for listening, alongside regular radio -stations. - -For example, the `Sports` > `Pro Basketball` > -`Shows` category contains a number of specific shows related -to Professional Basketball. - -Aside from being able to play any of the listed stations/shows, you can -make a channel your favorite by pressing `f`. It will now -show up at the top of the radio player in the `Favourites` -category. - -### Commands/Shortcuts - - Key(s) Command - ------------ --------------------------------- - ↑, ↓ navigate - PgUp, PgDn navigate quickly - Home, End to top/bottom - Enter open/close folders, play stream - k stop playing stream - q quit - f toggle favourite - -## Installation - -### Dependencies - -Before installing `curseradio`, a handful of system and -Python packages are required. To get started, install -`python3`, `pip3`, and `mpv` on your -system. In this example, I'm using Fedora Linux, which uses the -`dnf` package manager. You may need to adjust this if you're -using a different system. - -```sh -sudo dnf install python3 pip3 mpv -``` - -Next, use `pip3` to install `requests`, -`xdg`, and `lxml`: - -```sh -pip3 install requests xdg lxml -``` - -### Repository Source Installation - -Once all the dependencies are installed, we can clone the source code -and enter that directory: - -```sh -git clone https://github.com/chronitis/curseradio && cd curseradio -``` - -Once you're within the `curseradio` directory, you can -install the application with the provided `setup.py` script. - -```sh -sudo python3 setup.py install -``` - -In my case, I ran into a few errors and needed to create the folders -that curseradio wanted to use for its installation. If you don't get -any errors, you can skip this and run the app. - -```sh -sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/python3.10/ -sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ -``` - -```sh -sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/local/lib/python3.10/ -``` - -## Run the Application - -Once fully installed without errors, you can run the application! - -```sh -python3 /usr/local/bin/curseradio -``` |
