## Installation

**From the appstore**

The most recent and stable version of the app can be found in the [official appstore](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/radio). For ArchLinux, there is an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nextcloud-app-radio-git/) available.

**From source**

Clone the development repository with:
```
git clone https://git.project-insanity.org/onny/nextcloud-app-radio.git radio
```
Then run following commands to compile the project:
```
cd radio
make dev-setup
make build-js
```
Mount or move the ``radio`` folder into your Nextcloud ``apps/`` directory. Go to the apps manager tab in your Nextcloud web interface, and enable the Radio app.

## Testing

Can be easily tested using Docker:
```
docker build -t nextcloud https://git.project-insanity.org/onny/docker-nextcloud.git
docker run -v /tmp/nextcloud-app-radio:/opt/nextcloud/apps/radio -d --name nextcloud-app-radio -p 80:80 nextcloud
```
First part of -v is the path to the cloned and compiled or downloaded Nextcloud Radio app. Debug running container it with:
```
docker exec -i -t 665b4a1e17b6 /bin/bash
```
Where -t specifies the container id. If you further need to access the sqlite-database, logs or files inside the data folder of Nextcloud, that you also have to share this folder with the host:
```
docker run -v /tmp/dockerdata:/data/data -v /tmp/nextcloud-app-radio:/opt/nextcloud/apps/radio -d --name nextcloud -p 80:80 rootlogin/nextcloud
```

## Reporting bugs

You can report bugs in the public gitlab repository [here](https://git.project-insanity.org/onny/nextcloud-app-radio/issues) and for discussion you can find a section for the app in the offical Nextcloud forums [here](https://help.nextcloud.com/c/apps/radio).

## Adding translations
For now only German translations are provided, so please submit your translations if possible :) It's really easy, just `git clone` this repo and copy the translation files in `l10n` according to your locale. Merge requests go to [this radio repository](https://git.project-insanity.org/onny/nextcloud-app-radio).

## Adding radio stations
This app uses a public and open database of radio stations as its backend, so any station you add in [radio-browser.info](http://www.radio-browser.info/) (no account required), will be also available in this app. Feel free to contribute :)

## Credits
* [radio-browser.info](http://www.radio-browser.info/) database api as backend for this app
* Python example code to query stream metadata, took from [here](https://anton.logvinenko.name/en/blog/how-to-get-title-from-audio-stream-with-python.html).
