Looking for a way to stream Di.FM an AudioAddicts service on Mycroft. From what I found there isn’t a great way… Hopped someone has already done this or knows of a way. From my research I could potentially use Plex & and the plugin for plex https://github.com/phrawzty/AudioAddict.bundle. Then I could use Plexmusic skill to play this (Plexmusic Skill - Test and Feedback). Thoughts?
More informaiton:
I am a paying customer of Di.fm and have access to .pls from my stations.
Hi there,
Welcome to the Community
Do the .pls feeds themselves require authentication or is authentication only required to get the url?
I know that John had to do a little work to get pls streams working in the TuneIn Skill. So one option would be to fork that and create a very small private Skill to just handle that feed.
This would be a more direct option but will require playing with some code. How is your Python?
Thanks! I’ve been a lurker for several months.
No the .pls does not require authentication. Its a unique URL. Understood about tweaking another skill. Just wondered if something pre-existed without to much extra setup. Not much of Python programmer. Mostly do C/C++/VBA but could learn it. Curiously, I found an alternate way of doing the above. Using an Emby server and a .strm file (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Strm-files) you can play pretty much any stream that’s in the MP3 format. Not exactly a fan of running yet another server, but it works so can’t complain to much. Also AAC doesn’t seem to work.
