Add conf.get_data() alias, which automatically fetches resource relative to config module (that is, works on the global path, or within pyzip archive). Move module_list() from channels. into config, as it combines plugins and config management anyway. check-in: 07d2a291cd user: mario tags: trunk

This is a short summary for distribution package maintainers.
For regular end-user documentation see the help/ pages.


Structural changes in 2.1.5 (2015-04-xx)
----------------------------------------

 → There's a new `bin` script. It's a lightweight invocation
   wrapper, intended to be installed as /usr/bin/streamtuner2
   now.

 → The previous `st2.py` still exists, but is now supposed to
   reside in `/usr/share/streamtuner2/st2.py` along with all
   other modules.

 → Theoretically it's now possible to change the target path
   even (just edit `bin`).

I'd still advise to use /usr/share/streamtuner2/ as main target
directory though. It's not yet practical to extract into Python
site-package directories.

The channel PNG files still need to reside alongside the Python
modules. Later versions may complete soak the images into the
source code (meta data section) for simpicity.


Aux files
---------

 → Help files still need to go to share/docs/streamtuner2/help/
   unless you patch the source.

 → *.desktop as usual

 → and `logo.png` is the pixmap/app icon


Removed
-------

Some plugin PNGs may have been removed already.

And the streamtuner2.png logo is now source-embedded instead
(`logo.py` provides a `logo.png`).

The old `gtk2.xml` file is gone. It probably became obsolete
a long while back. The gtk3.xml is instead runtime-patched
to work with PyGTK/gtk2.


Dependencies
------------

If possible, make ST2 dependend on Python2 -or- Python3.
It's not yet practical, and probably against distro standards,
and only APT could so anyway. But if feasible...

Also, hard dependencies are meanwhile:

  - gtk (>= 2.16)
  - pygtk || python-gi
  - python-requests (>> 1.2.0)
  - python-pyquery     [though most plugins would work without]
  - and its implied python-lxml

Optional dependencies (just affects a single plugin, which
semi-gracefully disables itself):

  - python-keybinder   [for global_key]
  - python-dbus        [for radiotray]

Very optional dependencies (everything should work without):

  - python-xdg

Strongly suggest:

  - Streamripper

Suggest:

  - any audio player of course
  - youtube-dl


Lazy installation
-----------------

The new .PYZ archive bundles everything into a ZIP file. Which,
given the right shebang, could just be "installed" as literal
/usr/bin/streamtuner2 even.
I'm sure nobody is going to do so. But you know, it's at least
a theoretical option now..


FPM/XPM packaging
-----------------

You may have noticed (and scoffed at ;) the newer packaging
method. It's now using http://fossil.include-once.org/xpm/
with the `src` filter. (That's what the meta comment blocks
in the source modules were always meant for.)


Repo
----

The source code is hosted in a Fossil repo.

You can get a Git export however easily even per web interface:

  http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/git-fast-export

Git may or may not choke on its own export format though..

streamtuner2
============

ST2 is a internet radio browser. It queries online directories like
shoutcast and xiph.org for music stations.

It mimics the original streamtuner 1 to some extend. It's however
written in Python now instead of C.


installation howto
------------------

You can just execute the main binary "st2.py".

All the other files need to be copied into /usr/share/streamtuner2/ however.

In particular the channel/ directory needs to reside there, so ST2 can find
all its plugins.



If it doesn't work, make sure you have Python and gtk/pygtk installed:








  sudo apt-get install python python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-xdg

And a few modules like:


  sudo apt-get install python-requests python-pyquery python-keybinder

You can also install Python modules per `pip` with

  sudo pip install requests

The gtk*.xml file represents the GUI, btw.  So with glade installed, you


can inspect and adapt the interface.

streamtuner2
============

ST2 is a internet radio browser. It queries online directories like
shoutcast and xiph.org for music stations.

It mimics the original streamtuner 1 to some extend. It's however
written in Python now instead of C.


Installation howto
------------------

If possible, prefer the package directly from your BSD/Linux distribution.
Due to an excessive maintenance break, some still have older 2.0.8 version
however - which barely works anymore.
If so, you should use a manually installed version.


Dependencies
------------

Running streamtuner2 requires Python and Gtk packages. Which nowadays are
installed per default. There's a few more Python packages required though:

 · python | python3
 · pygtk | python-gi
 · python-requests
 · python-pyquery
 · python-lxml
 · python-keybinder (optional)
 · python-xdg (optional)


Use your distro package manager with e.g.:

  sudo apt-get install python python-gtk2 python-xdg python-requests ...

Or utilize Pythons local package installer even:

  sudo pip install requests


DEB / RPM
---------

There are rudimentary packages built as .DEB and .RPM version. Install
those if feasible. The dependencies may not match with your package
manger, and are somewhat incomplete. (See "Dependencies" section.)


PYZ
---

Other users may wish to try the new Python archive (.PYZ) instead. Which
requires little installation, but can just be run in-place:

    python streamtuner-2.1.5.pyz

You could even make this Python ZIP executable, and copy it in your PATH.


Manual installation
-------------------

If you've checked out the source code repository, or did download the
*.src.txz archive, then you can just run it right there:

   ./st2.py

To install it manually:

  · Create a /usr/share/streamtuner2/
  · Copy all *.py files there.
  · Also copy the "gtk3.xml" file into /usr/share/streamtuner2/
  · Copy the channels/ subdir into /usr/share/streamtuner2/channels/
  · Install "bin" as /usr/bin/streamtuner2.
  · If you want to use another target, just edit the "bin" wrapper.
  · Optionally copy the help/ folder to /usr/share/docs/streamtuner2/
  · And the logo.png into the system pixmaps/,
    as well as the *.desktop file into /usr/share/applications/

That's pretty much what the binary packages extract to.


Hacking
-------

If you want to edit a channel plugin, just have a look into the
channels/*.py files. It's often rather easy to adapt things.

Moreover you can also edit the user interface. You need glade-3
installed, and open the "gtk3.xml" file. There it's easy to
rename or rearrange things.
