Good idea.
Ok, so I've now done all the steps you've listed, and streamtuner2 now opens, I get the list of different sources, I can then drill down through the categories, and get to specific streams.redlined wrote: ⤴Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:03 pm streamtuner2 is operational!
(this app is awesome!
here's what I did to get it to work:
Download patched file from archive put up by dev: https://fossil.include-once.org/streamt ... b5a.tar.gz
opened and extractedcompat2and3.py
to my Desktop and compared to original found at /usr/share/streamtuner2/compat2and3.py
(compared old and new and verified only change was insert at line 71 theimport os
fix, confirmed only change)
then the terminal-fuand as expected this gem opened right up! Now, how do we notify the repos to update that one file available through SPM/apt?Code: Select all
anyuser@f023:~$ sudo mv /usr/share/streamtuner2/compat2and3.py /usr/share/streamtuner2/compat2and3.py.bak [sudo] password for anyuser: anyuser@f023:~$ sudo cp ~/Desktop/compat2and3.py /usr/share/streamtuner2/compat2and3.py anyuser@f023:~$ streamtuner2
As I have already mentioned, I too have had the inconvenience of StreamTuner2 (st2) crashing or locking up and needing to be restarted when selecting categories (genres) for the first time or after updating and adding new features and options. After selecting categories for the first time it has to retrieve and or update all the streaming radio stations, but after doing that the first time, it works great.Portreve wrote:However, the program crashes any time I try to play any of the streams themselves.

Ok, so I've tried the various things in this particular post that you brought up, and honestly, I'm not getting anywhere yet.phd21 wrote: ⤴Sat Dec 15, 2018 12:54 pmAs I have already mentioned, I too have had the inconvenience of StreamTuner2 (st2) crashing or locking up and needing to be restarted when selecting categories (genres) for the first time or after updating and adding new features and options.

What exactly do you mean by "think outside the box" in this situation?FYI-5 Tip: Depending upon what you are trying to do, you may have to "think outside the box" a little.
I am not sure what you are saying. I also updated my last reply.Portreve wrote:Let me hasten to add that the program runs, and that actually it appears it's not crashing, but rather it passes a URL request to my open web browser, which then dowloads the linked .pls file. Evidently, given the auto-rename function of Firefox kicking in to sequentially number the files, it's been doing this right along and not crashing (which explains the earlier lack of any console output) as I had earlier assumed was going on.
I mean using the "radiotray" app to test and play the ST2 audio streaming station links to find what you want, and a music application like Audacious to easily create and export (save) various playlists from the ST2 station links that you want and that work. Then if you wanted to just use the radiotray app, you could update the radiotray bookmarks file from the newly saved playlists. If the radiotray application had a console terminal command to update its bookmarks (add to playlist) like the music applications have, that would make it easier and could be setup in ST2. Or if the radiotray app had an import playlist option.Portreve wrote:What exactly do you mean by "think outside the box" in this situation?
Streamtuner2 is an internet radio station and video browser. It simply lists stations in categories from different directories. Launches your preferred media apps for playback.
So, in other words I've been fighting with this program for absolutely no good reason. Argh...phd21 wrote: ⤴Sat Dec 15, 2018 10:57 pm Hi Portreve,
Yes, you are missing something in comprehending what StreamTuner2 is and or does.
StreamTuner2 provides access to streaming stations from all over the world, but it does not have its own built-in player for playing audio streams or video streams, it sends the links to the default music application or by right-clicking to the radiotray application or if it is a video stream to the default media player app. It can also record those audio stations for later playback.

I do not understand this comment? The hardest part of streaming radio is finding working streaming radio stations for whatever it is that you are interested in listening to and StreamTuner2 is superb for this task.Portreve wrote:So, in other words I've been fighting with this program for absolutely no good reason.

I saw this and uninstalled Radiotray and then installed Radiotray-ng, and have been fighting with it to import my bookmarks. Evidently, it doesn't (yet) support sub-groups, and it just failed to import any of my already-added German radio stations. This has been nothing more than a PITA, particularly since I'm not interested in spending my time trying to make things ready to use. I want and need them to work, and me having to commit more and more of my time to try and figure things out is just not acceptable.phd21 wrote: ⤴Sun Dec 16, 2018 1:30 am Hi redlined,
I have been "jammin" tunes from around the world using StreamTuner2 for years now.
Theoretically when you purge (remove completely) an application from the console terminal or from the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)", it is supposed to remove the application's user configuration folder as well, but on occasion, the user configuration folder is not deleted?
I have been experimenting with the various "radiotray" applications and none of them appear to have an import option to import streaming radio playlists or to receive a streaming station from "drag-n-drop" from other applications like ST2 like most of the music applications like Audacious can? The "radiotray-ng" is supposed to be a newer better radiotray app than the original radiotray app, but StreamTuner2 does not currently work with that, yet...
and thanks to you, well done indeed, Salute!
