# autoradio # autoradio
Auto download of mp3s from podcast feeds using a little Python script. A little Python script to download audio files from RSS feeds. Installation
is messy and I have tested this on exactly two feeds, so it's my no means
finished software.
## Installation ## Installation
I haven't worked out how to intall pycurl with poetry, as it looks like it I packaged this project with poetry and then discovered that poetry can't
required a command-line flag to specify the SSL backend, and poetry doesn't install pycurl properly, as the latter requires command-line options to compile
seem to support that. So for my local install I pip installed it by hand it with the correct SSL backend. Here's the manual workaround:
> git clone https://git.tilde.town/bombinans/autoradio.git
> cd autoradio
> poetry install
> poetry shell
> pip uninstall pycurl
> pip install --compile --install-option="--with-openssl" pycurl
> poetry run autoradio --config config.json
The config file looks like this.
{
"feeds": {
"Utility Fog": {
"url": "https://www.frogworth.com/utilityfog/feed/",
"dir": "/media/pi/Storage/Music/Utility Fog"
},
"RA Podcast": {
"url": "https://ra.co/xml/podcast.xml",
"dir": "/media/pi/Storage/Music/RA_Podcast"
}
},
"max": 10
}
Each feed has a URL and a directory where the files will be downloaded. If a
file with the same name is already present, it won't be re-downloaded.
The value in "max" is the number of entries to look at from each feed, starting
from the latest. The script parses the RSS feed and looks for links which
seem likely to contain audio and tries to fetch them using pycurl (this handles
things like redirects, hopefully).
