I've written a plugin that should work with any radio tuner card. The plugin comes with an example that runs under linux with the ivtv driver.
A little extra coding should support other os's and other radio tuner drivers. I very much appreciate all comments and feedback. Below is the contents README file, and attached is the zip archive (which contains the Plugin/Tuner file structure). ---------- README --------- This Plugin supports streaming from a computer based radio tuner to a squeezebox. The Plugin does the following: o Defines a protocol "frq:" which defines a content type "frq" o Loads up extra type conversions which allow converting frq types to other audio types (the plugin comes with an example frq to flc conversion) o Defines a mode which allows a user to enter a tuner frequency via the remote control The plugin comes with a "frq" example program that can control a v4l (video for linux) FM tuner. The example program assumes the the v4l2 development libraries are installed. To use the v4l tuner the ivtv drivers need to be installed (see http://ivtvdriver.org/) and a supported tuner card must be installed. The example has been tested under linux with a Hauppauge PVR 350 PCI card and ivtv driver version 0.4.0. To install the example program under linux go to the subdirectory src under the Tuner plugin and do "make ivtv-tuner-play". The manifest of this Plugin is: --Tuner/ ----Plugin.pm -- Plugin Code ----FRQ.pm -- "frq" protocol handler ----tuner-convert.conf -- extra conversions (from "frq" to other audio types) ----src/ -- source code -----Makefile -- unix Makfile -----ivtv-tuner-play.c -- v4l source code +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: tuner.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=543| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- danaronson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danaronson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=678 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18904 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
