Radio Streaming Sites

Fri Aug 18, 2017 8:41 pm

So i've just been looking into creating a radio streamer with my pi.
I have everything setup and working with the bbc radio stations that are available but however i am looking on how i would get my local area radio station to stream from a website through vnc. I am also using the google assistant sdk to listen for a key word so that it can play the station i would like to listen to.
I really hope that you can help.
Thanks

    Maybe look at some of the audio streaming software that people use like http://www.mopidy.com or https://volumio.org

    Both allow you to search for radio stations around the world. Both also serve web frontends meaning that you can use the directly through a browser without vnc

    I stream my local classical station using this shell script (it part of my "alarm clock", see the last line for the actual command)):

    Code: Select all

    pi@alrmclk2 ~/bin $ cat runkdfc
    #!/bin/bash
    
    PATH=/home/pi/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    
    lxterminal --geometry=58x6 -e mplayer -cache 512 -volume 100 -playlist http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KDFCFMAAC.pls
