Affects: v2.0.1 release

Show notification when station or track changes

Manjaro - Pantheon - eRadio v1.2

Maybe it's a limitation of not using elemantary OS, but I only see a notification when I first start a station.

System tray minimalism

Is your software capable of being accessed via the system tray (similar to radiotray-ng) and if no, do you have any plans to implement such a GUI option?

No Audio No error-report

install eRadio on elementaryOS loki, then run from the terminal, no error mention but no audio out

[INFO 20:26:03.457242] Application.vala:155: eRadio version: 2.0
[INFO 20:26:03.457295] Application.vala:157: Kernel version: 4.4.0-42-generic

SoundMenu play button doesn't change to pause

In sound menu all buttons work but icon doesn't change to pause when playing station.
Our previous mpris file was working fine in luna.
I don't know what's wrong yet , other media players don't have this bug.

Are there console commands?

For pause/play/station forward/station back.

Cache m3u,asx,pls

Every time a "playlist" type is being played decoders read content on the fly.
If files are being cached for the session, stream will start faster.

Add streamripper capacity to save songs from radiostations

I don't want to setup 3 differents programs, for music, radio and radio recording... Would be nice being able to record some stations with streamripper, and saving it in the music directory...

Requirement I see:

• "Record Now" button, to click ad-hoc and start or stop recording manually
• Ability to add several stations, and then start/stop all recordings at once ("Record all")
• Specify output format
• Specify output directory

Display Current Song Information

Hi.

I've encountered this app before and as an ElementaryOS enthusiast I'm from time to time trying to see is it up to par with RadioTray and Gradio.
Unfortunately the reason I stayed away from eRadio is still here. There is no way for me to see the song I'm listening. The volume menu does not shows it (just the radio station name as Track and "from unknown" as Artist) and also the notification does not work although eRadio app is visible in the notification settings and it's enabled to do everything.
I believe that the Internet radios are great way to discover a new artists or music but without possibility to see anything about the track I'm listening this app usually gets purged from my system within minutes.

I'm running Vanilla ElementaryOS Loki Stable.

Anyhow, thank you for your time and effort.

Cheers.

Missing screenshot in appdata.xml

A screenshot of your app using elementary OS default settings is required to publish in AppCenter. For more info see the tag in the appstream spec

Don't have "for elementary OS" in your appdata

eRadio/data/com.github.dreamdevel.eradio.appdata.xml

Line 7 in 35b661e

<summary>A minimalist and powerful radio player for elementary OS</summary>

Since everything published in AppCenter is "for elementary OS", this is redundant

Sometimes next button seems disabled

Sometimes next button seems disabled but it is not.
It must be freya gtk theme bug because it doesn't happen with other themes.

Reproduce:
Double click the station before the last one.
Click next button.
Add new station.

Move from SQLHeavy to SQLite

SQLHeavy is deprecated and cannot be installed via ppa. I have so much trouble to install it. Would it be possible to move to sqlite?

Keyboard focus on new genre addition not working

set_cursor with start_editing = true not working after adding a new genre to station.
For unknown reason editing is canceled immediately after start_editing is emitted.

Needs further research. Maybe is a GTK bug.

Missing "<developer_name/>" tag in appdata.xml

This is required for publishing in AppCenter

Drag and drop stations into genres

This is a feature request for adding the ability to drag and drop stations into existing genres on the left hand navbar.

Discover Category

It's important to create a way for users to easily find and add stations from within the app.
Currently they can import eRadio Packages, use webradio URL Handler & Use Web Extensions.

Discover view will connect to a Radio stations repository and retrieve stations info.

• It should be fast as the other sidebar categories.
• Should not be confusing, maybe just a "preview" button and "Add To Library

Publish in AppCenter

AppCenter Dashboard is now open to the public. You should get your app published in AppCenter :)
