vlcradio script doesn't work with raspbian buster

[jolo1581]

The scrip from readme "curl https://get.pimoroni.com/vlcradio | bash" seems to be an old version which doesn't support raspbian buster.

Cloned version from github works.

At what point does the vlcradio script fail? Running it on my local Raspbian buster install seems to work. I wonder if you've somehow got a locally cached version or otherwise?

[jolo1581]

When I want to install vlcradio with the scrip from https://get.pimoroni.com/vlcradio it doen't work. It seems to be an old version, because it looks for the package vlc-nox which is not available in raspian buster any more.

The script from actual master works fine, without problems. It is only the link mentioned in readme.

We have chased the cause of this through the tangled web of installer scripts that currently serves vlcradio, and hopefully squashed the bug.

Turns out the installer in this repository had been updated 8 months ago ( https://github.com/pimoroni/phat-beat/commit/20957ff650bac7e029d0c9321c5d40f4f1f38081 ) but due to the way the "https://get.pimoroni.com/vlcradio" script works, it was never pulling in the fixes.

sigh

If it is fixed, I think you can close this issue

This is still not fixed with the get.pimoroni script. I have outlined how to fix it and get a different playback UI here: https://github.com/eat-sleep-code/vlc-web-audio-ui

When I run setup.sh here is what happens:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Pimoroni/phatbeat/projects/vlc-radio $ ./setup.sh

--- Warning ---

The VLC Radio installer does not work on this version of Raspbian. Check https://github.com// for additional information and support

What can I do, I've tried the fast setup but it simply too much battery consumption. My step mother listen to the radio all day...

@fabitencourt The steps to fix are all outlined in https://github.com/eat-sleep-code/vlc-web-audio-ui

Whew, sorry to take more than a year to resolve this- sign of the times :grimacing:

I have tagged a release that should - with any luck - be fetched by the one line installer and installed properly.

Though looking at @eat-sleep-code's project... I'd probably recommend that over using this directly, since the VLC web UI is- indeed- antiquated.

[fabitencourt]

Thanks. I'm not sure of what I'm supposed to do, but I will try this out.

This is a radio to my 93 years old step mother. Just for tango music. She loves it.
