Internet Radio Player

Internet Radio Player with an web interface.

Dependencies

mpd and mpc - music player daemon

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mpd mpc

flask - lightweight web application framework

sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install -U Flask

oyaml - YAML parser which preserves dict ordering

pip install oyaml

Usage:

python3 main.py [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
               [--bluetooth-speaker-device BLUETOOTH_SPEAKER_DEVICE]
               [--show-volume-controls {yes,no}]

Internet radio with Web interface for Linux or Raspbian.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST           Web ui host
  --port PORT           Web ui port
  --bluetooth-speaker-device BLUETOOTH_SPEAKER_DEVICE
                        Bluetooth device identifier (taken from bluetoothctl)
  --show-volume-controls {yes,no}
                        Show volume controls, choices: yes / no, default: yes

Control Panel

With default values, the control panel works on address:

http://127.0.0.1:1234/

If you have specified custom host and/or port, create the url by schema:

http://<host>:<port>/

Station list

You can manage the station list in the stations.yml file.

Run tests

sh test.sh

Installation on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian OS.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python3 mpd mpc python-pip
sudo pip3 install -U Flask oyaml
git clone https://github.com/jakubthedeveloper/PythonInternetRadio.git radio

Create startup script, for example in path /home/pi/radio-start.sh, with contents:

cd /home/pi/radio
python3 main.py

You can set custom host and port in the command above.

Test the web ui in your computer/phone/tablet browser, in my network the Raspberry Pi has the address: 192.168.123.7, so I open the following url in my browser:

http://192.168.123.7:1234/

Connect headphones or speakers to the Raspberry Pi and click play in Web UI.

Cron

Add startup script to cron:

crontab -e

and enter the following line:

@reboot sh /home/pi/radio-start.sh

Reboot Rasperry Pi to check if the cron entry works:

sudo reboot

Bluetooth speaker

In you want to connect a Bluetooth speaker to Raspberry Pi you have to install Bluez-alsa. I managed to do it using the instruction on the page how-to-stream-sound-to-a-bluetooth-device-from-a-raspberry-pi-zero

Here is my audio output config in /etc/mpd.conf that works with Creative Muvo 2c bluetooth speaker:

audio_output {
       type            "alsa"
       name            "BluetoothSpeaker"
       device          "bluealsa:DEV=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,PROFILE=a2dp" # replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with bluetooth device id
}
