# autoradio
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 by no means
finished software.
A little Python script to download audio files from RSS feeds and put them
somewhere so that your music server can grab them. Has been tested on two (2)
feeds.
## Installation
I packaged this project with poetry and then discovered that poetry can't
install pycurl properly, as the latter requires command-line options to compile
it with the correct SSL backend. Here's the manual workaround:
Dependencies are managed with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) so install that if you haven't already.
autoradio uses [pycurl](https://pypi.org/project/pycurl/) to do downloads, because it does a bunch of the fiddly stuff around redirects, but pycurl itself can be fiddly to install. On a Raspberry Pi I had to manually install the following packages first using ```apt```:
libssl-dev
libcurl4-openssl-dev
python3-dev
Then:
> 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
> uv run autoradio.py --help
> uv run autoradio.py
The config file looks like this.
To add feeds, edit the config.json file.
## Config
The config file is JSON as follows:
{
"feeds": {

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).
## Running automatically
You will probable want to set up a cron job to run the script on a regular
schedule: all you need to change for this is provide full paths to everything,
including uv. Here's an example where the script is installed in the home
directory of the user ```pi``` under ```~/working/autoradio```
