streamtuner2 2.1.9-beta1

Reusable components

A few components are reusable, and possibly of interest. (Public Domain, not even attribution required).

The uikit module provides a few Gtk abstractions

• Mainly the TreeView list construction columns() which accepts a column-mapping structure and simpler dict-lists.

• A pixbuf reader from internal PYZ package contents with some auto-decoding.

• Widget wrpaping with background, alignment, hbox packing etc.

The action module contains a few utility functions for converting playlist formats:

• M3U,

• PLS,

• XSPF,

• JSPF,

• ASX/WVX,

• ASF,

• SMIL,

• .URL/DESKTOP files.

Channel data models

Furthermore the various radio directory services are implemented mostly as data models. They’re not completely separated from the application. Currently depend on a prepared requests session, an internal config.conf object, and some utility code. But they can be instantiated and used without active GUI components:

sys.path.insert(0, "./streamtuner2.pyz")

from channels.shoutcast import shoutcast
parser = shoutcast(parent=None)

print(parser.categories)
stream_list = parser.update_streams("Pop")

Which returns a list of dictionaries, containing title, playing description, genre, streaming url, bitrate, format, etc.

Other available channel modules:

• shoutcast

• xiph

• radionet

• radionomy

• myoggradio

• jamendo

• youtube

• ubuntuusers

• filtermusic

• difm

• dirble

• internet_radio

• radiobrowser

• surfmusik

• magnatune

• listenlive

• windowsmedia

• tunein, etc.

Using them could perhaps be simplified further, properly separated from the main application and custom config instances etc. You know, if anybody indicated any interest…(?)
