Library to handle RadioDNS Service lookups

RadioDNS lookup library for .NET

This is a .NET library for RadioDNS Service lookups. The library will allow you to find the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for a radio station (Service) based on broadcast parameters. Using this information, you can then make an IP connection to the desired service.

For more information on RadioDNS, please visit https://radiodns.org/technical/documentation/

Installation

Either install the NuGet package, or add the project to your solution.

Usage and examples

The library can be either called using the namespace RadioDNS or by adding an include reference. include RadioDNS;

This library requires DnsClient.

Looking up an FM service

In this example, we look up Service Information for The Breeze North Dorset on 97.4 FM.

RadioDNS.Lookup rdns = new RadioDNS.Lookup();
RadioDNS.Service service = rdns.LookupFMService("ce1", "c3bb", 97.40);
RadioDNS.Application application = service.GetApplication(RadioDNS.Application.RADIOEPG);
if(null != application)
{
    foreach (Record record in application.GetRecords())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Host: {0}:{1:D}, Priority: {2}, Weight {3}",
            record.Target, record.Port, record.Priority, record.Weight));
    }
} else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Application specified does not exist for this Service.");
}

Looking up a DAB service

In this example, we look up Service Information for Sam FM Bristol on DAB.

RadioDNS.Lookup rdns = new RadioDNS.Lookup();
RadioDNS.Service service = rdns.LookupDABService("xe1", "c18c", "cae3", "0");
RadioDNS.Application application = service.GetApplication(RadioDNS.Application.RADIOEPG);
if (null != application)
{
    foreach (Record record in application.GetRecords())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Host: {0}:{1:D}, Priority: {2}, Weight {3}",
            record.Target, record.Port, record.Priority, record.Weight));
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Application specified does not exist for this Service.");
}
