A large rewrite for Piface Control & Display and Your inspiration #1

Open keinstein opened 9 years ago

keinstein commented 9 years ago

The current branch is the result of my attempts to make the radio usable with my Piface Control & Display extension board.

Some limitations of the original piradio annoyed me: • It doesn't allow autmatic configuration of the radio stations • It does not support IR remote controls • It deos not support to browse the directory structure of the music. • It uses a strange design for the debian project.

Trying to solve these problems, I ended up with something that's more or less a rewrite, but supports additional features as an object oriented menu system.

At least I wanted to inform you about the project. I think some technical details could be interesting to you, too. Feel free to comment, please.

BTW. My distri is based on the MusicBox project (http://pimusicbox.com/) and uses the mopidy repositories.

Warning

As the design changed so much during the development nearly everything I don't use is probably broken.

Hi Keinstein,

First of all my apologies for not replying to your email straight away.

I am afraid I couldn’t see your real name in the request so I had to use Keinstein.

I am going to take a good look at your code in the coming weeks.

It looks like you have some very good ideas which might be of interest for the main stream code.

Since you say this is a rewrite I think it is better to support your code in your own github repository as you have already done.

Do you have any documentation at all on your project by the way?

Regards

Bob
