This is my attempt to create a curated webradio list for myMPD.
Contributions to the webradio database are very welcome. It should be a community driven database. You must only open an issue to add or modify a webradio. Your proposal will be reviewed and then merged, therefore it could take some time before the webradio is added.
Please do not add geo-fenced streams.
Open an issue.
Search for the webradio and click on the modify link to open a prefilled GitHub issue.
This project is designed as an easily integratable webradio database for music players. At the moment there is no api endpoint to query the database. An application should fetch the metadata json file and use it locally.
At the moment there are two sources for webradio files:
- Webradios from moode audio (sources/moode-*)
- Manually added files (sources/mympd-*)
The primary workflow to add or modify a webradio is to open an issue. The issue must be manually approved by adding a merge label. A GitHub action is triggered on the label event and the build script runs:
- creates the m3u file
- downloads the image
- converts the image to webp and resizes it to 400x400 pixel
The create workflow runs once a day.
- copies files from
sourcestodocs/dbfolder - parses the m3u files and creates JSON index files
After this workflow the docs folder is published to the GitHub page.
There are some nightly tasks to check the integrity of the database and the streams availablity.
| CHECK | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Stream | Checks the availability of the stream with ffprobe. Failed checks are written to the status.min.json file. |
| Image | Checks for obsolet or missing images. It also checks if the image files are valid webp images. |
| DB | Checks for duplicates in the index files. |
Webradios are saved as extended m3u files with some custom fields. A coverimage could be specified as file in the pics folder or an url.
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,<name>
#EXTGENRE:<genre>
#PLAYLIST:<name>
#EXTIMG:<cover>
#HOMEPAGE:<homepage>
#COUNTRY:<country>
#STATE:<state (deprecated)>
#REGION:<region>
#LANGUAGE:<language>
#DESCRIPTION:<description>
#CODEC:<codec>
#BITRATE:<bitrate>
#ADDED:<timestamp>
#LASTMODIFIED:<timestamp>
<streamuri>
The filename of the playlist and the coverimage are derived from the streamuri by replacing <>/.:?&$%!#\|;= characters with _. This is the same behaviour as in myMPD and makes this playlists compatible with the myMPD webradio feature.
You must not download the station images, instead you can prepend https://jcorporation.github.io/webradiodb/db/pics/ to the image name, e.g. https://jcorporation.github.io/webradiodb/db/pics/http___119_15_96_188_stream2_mp3.webp.
The final files are located in the docs/db folder, it is rebuild daily. The folder docs is published through GitHub Pages.
