tonie-podcast-sync

tonie-podcast-sync allows synching podcast episodes to creative tonies.

This is a purely private project and has no association with Boxine GmbH.

Constraints and Limitations

• currently limited to podcasts providing mp3 files
• tested with the following podcasts:
  • WDR Maus Podcasts, e.g.
    • Gute Nacht mit der Maus
    • Maus zum Hören - 60 Minuten
    • Maus Zoom - Kindernachrichten
  • Bayern 2: Pumuckl - Der Hörspiel-Klassiker
  • Checker Tobi Podcast
  • Anna und die wilden Tiere - der Podcast
• ... but in general, it should hopefully work with all podcasts out there

Usage

tonie-podcast-sync is available as a pip package on pypi. Install via

pip install tonie-podcast-sync

Then, use it as shown in the following example code:

from toniepodcastsync import ToniePodcastSync, Podcast

# create two Podcast objects, providing the feed URL to each
pumuckl = Podcast("https://feeds.br.de/pumuckl/feed.xml")
maus = Podcast("https://kinder.wdr.de/radio/diemaus/audio/gute-nacht-mit-der-maus/diemaus-gute-nacht-104.podcast")

# create instance of ToniePodcastSync
tps = ToniePodcastSync("<toniecloud-username>", "<toniecloud-password>")

# for an overview of your creative tonies and their IDs
tps.printToniesOverview()

# define creative tonies based on their ID
greenTonie = "<your-tonieID>"
orangeTonie = "<your-tonieID>"

# Fetch new podcast episodes and copy them to greenTonie.
# The tonie will be filled with as much episodes as fit (90 min max).
# Episode are ordered with newest first.
tps.syncPodcast2Tonie(pumuckl, greenTonie)

# Kid's should fall asleep, so let's limit the podcast 
# episodes on this tonie to 60 minutes in total.
# Use the optional parameter for this:
tps.syncPodcast2Tonie(maus, orangeTonie, 60)  

For the tonie to fetch new content from tonie-cloud, you have to press one ear for 3s (until the "ping" sound) with no tonie on the box (refer also to TonieBox manual).
