The VLC Radio installer does not work on this version of Raspbian... #25

Installing PirateRadio (get.pimoroni.com/vlcradio) on a new Pirate Radio Kit...

Install mostly works, but ends with: --- Warning ---

The VLC Radio installer

does not work on this version of Raspbian.

Check https://github.com//

Looks like the issue begins with the install of vnc-nox... Checking for dependencies...

vlc-nox is required

Installing vlc-nox...

E: Package 'vlc-nox' has no installation candidate

Apt failed to install vlc-nox!

Falling back on pypi...

This is in a new, clean install of raspian lite : uname -a

Linux raspberrypi 4.19.57+ #1244 Thu Jul 4 18:42:50 BST 2019 armv6l GNU/Linux

cat /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"

VERSION_ID="10"

VERSION="10 (buster)"

VERSION_CODENAME=buster

...

Will continue to fiddle...

PaulComis commented 4 years ago

okay...fixed

looks like vlc-nox has been retired...

so in its place: sudo apt-get install vlc-bin

sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-base

then I re-ran the vlcradio install (curl https://get.pimoroni.com/vlcradio | bash) - although not entirely sure if this is necessary

Then created the files in a new ~/vlc directory, as outlined in this gist

and ran ~/vlc/setup.sh

and joy!

My next steps are to pick apart the radiovlc install, and propose a pull request...unless someone beats me to it (at the time of writing I'm a git noob)
