MMM-InternetRadio

MagicMirror module for playing internet radio

This module is based on the idea of using puppeteer taken from MMM-MusicOnDemand.

It allows you yo configure most Internet Radio stations using selectors for items on the page to pick up:

artist and title of what's currently playing
play and pause buttons

Confirmed working environment:

Raspberry Pi 3b+ with Raspbian with preinstalled chromium
node 8.15.1
latest MagicMirror (v.2.6.0)

Installation

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
git clone https://github.com/Aruta79/MMM-InternetRadio.git
cd MMM-InternetRadio
npm install

It installs a puppeteer package with a chromium browser (~100mb-270mb). If you don't want to use the puppeteer browser or if you're running on a Raspberry Pi you may want to delete this extra chromium browser:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-InternetRadio/node_modules/puppeteer
rm -r .local-chromium

Configuration

Copy the following to your config.txt:

		{
			module: "MMM-InternetRadio",
			position: "middle_center",
			config: {
			 }
		 },

The module is by default configured to play RMF Classic, RMF Celtic and Encore

Additional configuration

Additional stations can be configured using the following syntax:

		stations: [
			{
				name: "RMF Classic",
				url: "https://www.rmfon.pl/play,7",
				titlePath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #player-texts > #now-playing > div.title',
				artistPath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #player-texts > #now-playing > div.artist',
				coverPath: '#content > #player-box-container > div > #player-box > #player-infos > div > #cover-container > #cover > img',
				playPath: '#player-icon',
				pausePath: '#player-icon',
				footerWait: '#footer',
			}],

name - name of station
url - link to "Listen live" or similar page that actually plays the sound
titlePath, artistPath, coverPath - selectors for, respectively, title, artist and cover image - should point to some elements of the page to dislay appropriate info about what's playing
playPath, pausePath - selectors for clickable buttons to play and stop sound - may, in many cases, point to the same item
footerWait - item on the page to wait for to ensure page has finished loading - should be any item towards the end of the page, or empty string to disable waiting - usually good to have one defined, but not needed with decent connections

The module also has two icons to control volume, sending VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN notifications, usually for use with MMM-Volume

Troubleshooting

See MMM-MusicOnDemand for info about using puppeteer and chromium.
