Terminal Player

This project is no longer maintained. You might be interested in https://github.com/devshane/somadic.

Terminal player is a bare-bones, terminal-based player for DI.fm and somafm.com. It's a thin wrapper around mplayer and it outputs a single line of text for each song without using Curses. That's it. A two-line terminal is plenty of room:

16:28:34 [di/lounge] The Sura Quintet - Kept In Perspective
16:29:46 [di/lounge] Michel Petit - Voyage A Tipaza

Pull requests are encouraged.

Installation

$ gem install terminal_player

Or from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/devshane/terminal-player.git
$ cd terminal-player
$ gem build ./terminal_player.gemspec
$ gem install ./terminal_player-0.0.4.gem

Usage

Usage: terminal_player.rb [options] site channel

The `site` parameter can be di or soma.

When `site` is di or soma, the channel parameter should be a valid channel.
DI premium channels require an environment variable: DI_FM_PREMIUM_ID.

    -c, --cache CACHE_SIZE           Set the cache size (KB)
    -m, --cache-min CACHE_MIN        Set the minimum cache threshold (percent)
    -h, --help                       Display this message
        --play-history-path PATH     Log the play history to PATH

Examples:

# DI premium member, breaks channel
$ set -x DI_FM_PREMIUM_ID abc123; terminal_player di breaks

# DI public breaks channel
$ terminal_player di breaks

# Soma Secret Agent
$ terminal_player soma secretagent130

# Soma Groove Salad, log the song history to the desktop in a folder called played_songs
$ terminal_player --play-history-path ~/Desktop/played_songs soma groovesalad

Channel lists

For DI and Soma, terminal player can dump a list of channels and then exit if you use channels as the channel argument:

$ terminal_player di channels
