radio - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

radio - console radio application

SYNOPSIS

radio [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

radio is a interactive, ncurses-bases console radio application.

OPTIONS

-h print a short help text.

-d enable debug output.

-q quit after processing the cmd line options, don't enter interactive ncurses mode.
Only useful together with other options for obvious reasons ...

-m mute radio.

-f freq
tune the specified radio frequency (and unmute the radio).

-c dev specify radio device (default is /dev/radio0).

-s Do a scan for radio stations.

-S Same as above + write a radio.fmmap with the signal for every frequency. You can
get a graph for it with gnuplot (plot "radio.fmmap" w lin).

-i Scan, write a initial ~/.radio file to stdout and quit. So you can create a config
file where you only have to fill in the correct station names later this way:
"radio -i > ~/.radio". See below for the config file syntax.

CONFIGURATION

radio picks up station names and present stations from a config file. It can parse kradio
(KDE radio app) config files, therefore it first tries the usual KDE config file location:
~/.kde/share/config/kradiorc. Failing that, radio tries ~/.radio (which makes things a bit
easier for people who don't use kradio).

The format looks like this:

# KDE Config File
[Buttons]
1=95800000
2=91400000
[Stations]
100600000=Hundert,6
95800000=Radio eins
102600000=Fritz
94300000=r.s.2
91400000=Berliner Rundfunk

The [Buttons] section can have up to eight entries. That are the present stations, they
get mapped to F1-F8. The [Stations] section maps frequencies to station names. The
frequencies in both sections are specified in Hz.

KEYS

X exit
ESC,Q,E mute and exit.
up/down inc/dec frequency
pgup/pgdown next/previous station. This one uses the
stations from the config file by default.
When started with the -s option these keys
will cycle througth the stations found during
the scan.
F1-F8, 1-8 preset buttons.
Ctrl+L redraw screen.
