Installation

Requirements:

VLC

rubio uses the vlc -I dummy as the audio playback backend.

On Mac, it is recommended that you install VLC via Homebrew to ensure the vlc command is added to the PATH environment variable automatically:

brew install vlc

On Windows, install VLC using the Windows installer, and then add the installed VLC app directory to the PATH environment variable (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC) to make the vlc command available.

Ruby Gem:

gem install rubio-radio

Usage

Run with this command:

rubio

The top 10,000 Radio Browser stations are displayed by default. But, you can customize the count (note that currently, there are only about 32,000 Radio Browser stations total).

rubio --count 20000

Default player is vlc -I dummy. But, you can use any command line player that can take URL of radio station as its first argument.

rubio --backend mpg123
