streamtuner2 - Browser for internet radio stations
Contents
Description
Streamtuner2 is a graphical application for browsing through internet radio station directories, like:
®.R "• Xiph.org" ®.R "• Internet-Radio" ®.R "• MyOggRadio" ®.R "• SomaFM" ®.R "• Streema"
It utilizes your configured audio player or recording applications, which can be configured in the <F12>
settings window.
It is written in Python and easy to extend. And besides the grapical interface, has a commandline
interface. It comes with a couple of feature plugins and additional channels.

Files
/home/$USER/.config/streamtuner2/settings.jsonGraphical Mode
There's only one option for the graphical UI mode:
--gtk3 Loads Gtk3 via PyGI instead of Gtk2. This is implicit when running on Python3 anyway.
--nt No-threading mode avoids some UI separation, but stabilizes the interface (in particular channel
loading crashes occassionally) for some Gtk2/Gtk3 and Python combinations.
-dplugin
Disable plugin from loading. Plugin names are all-lowercase and sometimes short versions of the
channel or feature, such as "reddit", "xiph", "favicons" or "dnd".
-eplugin
Load a plugin that isn't set by default.
