I love to listen radio. I know good source (project): radio-browser.info. Is good database of Worlds Internet Radio. And i know good and beautiful WebApp - https://radiolise.gitlab.io/

I try to make UT WebApp with WebApp creator, but i have same troubles:

not play radio in background;
and, i mean, some issues with versions(i use Vivid app on Xenial): after second launch app won't work.

Please, can anybody help me?

Thanks!

@marathon2422 sorry, not suitable for me. Work poor: i can't find my favorite sations. Example "Радио Минск" - is good local rock radiostation.

P.S. Here is link: http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#/byname/Минск

@ierihon what apparmor profile are you using in your webapp? what browser engine are you calling? oxide is pretty outdated and qtwebengine is not ready for prime time yet.

Meanwhile you fix those issues, maybe you can use https://open-store.io/app/uradio.rubenxparra

Yes, in these app i can add manualy my favorite stations, but why?

There is full featured solution. I just need little help from my friends...

apps do not execute in the background on UT. I think other audio apps probably pass the stream to some UT api and then UT plays it for them.

You could check how for example uRadio passes the stream to the system.

Alternatively, as a bit of a hack, you could use ubuntu touch tweak tool to allow background execution of your app.

Hard to say without any other info. What does a good and a bad log file look like?

It's suuuch a pity, but rubens website with the radio database has gone away, which kinda renders the app useless It was working quite nicely and the database was libre licensed. A shame.

@ierihon hahaha that why I said "meanwhile"

What are your answers for those questions I posted above?

advocatux · 7 Nov 2018, 19:24

@doniks yep, I tried to contact Rubén some months ago, I'll try it again

In standard browser Radiolise work well.

In standard browser Radiolise work well.

sounds like user agent string. some websites behave differently when they think you are using ios/android/windows/edge/firefox/younameit in an effort to be more compatible, but sometimes they end up being more broken with less popular browsers due to their naive detection logic.

you can try different user agent strings with the webapp
