  --station STATION_NAME  Specify a station name
  --uuid STATION_UUID     Specify a station UUID
  --log-level LOG_LEVEL   Specify log level

--station : Expects a station name to be played ( if not provided it will try to get the last played station ). Example: "pehla nasha" , pehla_nasha, bbc_radio

--uuid : When station names are too long or confusing ( or multiple results for the same name ) use the station's uuid to play . --uuid gets the greater priority than --station. example: 96444e20-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81

--log-level : don't need to specify unless you are developing it. [ info , warning , error , debug ]

Extra

You can always alias your favorite stations' name with a custom name. radio-active firsts looks for stations in your favorite list.

To add a station to your favorite station list:

1. place a file named radio-active-alias.txt under your home directory.

2. Write a new line with pattern like name=uuid. Example:

mirchi_ranbindra_sangeet=72e039a6-9ed9-4741-b45e-165eec3bec6d
bongo_net=96444e20-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81
