Streamtuner2 also runs under Windows. Current versions weren't tested thoroughly. 
Streamtuner2 also runs under Windows. Starting from 2.2.0 it wil lbe an officially supported platform.

#### 0install

Simplest option to run it is per **0install** feed however:

  * [http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml](http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml)

Ought to work for Windows, MacOS, and BSD/Linux systems.


#### Exe "installer"

ST2 requires a working Python installation first. That includes Python with Gtk bindings, the requests and pyquery packages. 

The available **.exe** installer is really just a self-extracting ZIP. It'll unpack to Unix-style paths `C:/usr/bin/` and `C:/usr/share/streamtuner2`.  
The available **.exe** installer is really just a self-extracting ZIP. It'll unpack to Unix-style paths `C:/usr/bin/` and `C:/usr/share/streamtuner2`. But is relocatable meanwhile

 * (The exe is actually more suitable now as raw zip/tarball, that just happens to have a wine GUI.)
It includes a neat post-install script since 2.2.0 which will download and setup all required dependencies (Python 2.7 + Gtk2) now. So it's rather convenienct to set up now. You still need to configure your audio player (VLC recommended, but WMplayer works) of course.

#### PYZ package

With the new **.pyz** package it's even easier to use ST2 however. So that's now the recommended approach. Simply start it with:

        python streamtuner2.pyz

Or rename it to have a **.pyzw** extension, in case your setup already picks that up.

(Again, you need a working Python+Gtk setup first.)

----

There are probably modern Python distributions for Windows. No idea. It's definitely not something that should be handled on a per-application basis and with PyInstaller embellishments.


#### Manual installation of Python 2.7

[Oliver found](https://sourceforge.net/p/streamtuner2/discussion/1173108/thread/2a060ed4/?limit=25) a dependable recommendation for using Python 2 in this discussion about PyGtk and PyGObject:

It may be outdated, since it's from the year 2012.
