Anyone any hint? Is there something already available?


I only found 3 Desktop products for that task: Mplayer, kradio and gnomeradio. has anyone tried to port them already?


The PND of SMplayer2 has some settings for radio channels, but I have no Idea how to set up anything. It lacks basically everything so I am not sure if FM support is really part of that PND.
 
RadioTray only does Streaming Radios (or am I wrong with that assumption?) I'm looking for something to use an FM radio USB-Stick.

Does it follow any kind of standard, or are driver support issues going to come up?

I'm sure you can use windows fm radio usb stick and connect it to pandora that will be easier option if that will work.
 
@ Lylat


I'm not quite sure either what you mean, but I if I delete "windows" from your sentence, thats probably exactly what I try to accomplish.


I have an ADS InstantFM Music USB FM-Radio Adapter with an si470x. It is fully detected (it seems) by the kernel. I'm just lacking a program to actually use it (comfortably). Aditionally the provided mplayer (console) was compiled without the FM-radio-option.


EDIT: I tried to see what happels if I build gnomeradio myself, but....angstrom repository seems to be seriously broken and down and getting everything for a buildsystem from source is rather tedious if you dont have a repo.... -.-


I lost the fun, when configuring pkg-config failed because it lacked "pkg-config" (Reminds me of a typical windows error).


Anyone out there that is able to quickly try and build either gnomeradio or kradio, whatever has less dependencies ;) ?

Have you tried mplayer? I know on the desktop it can open any v4l compatible device, including radio tuners. At least in theory, I've never actually tried a radio tuner, but the documentation says it can.
 
Yes I tried both, the one from the codec pack and the mplayer2 from the smplayer package. Both lack the radio configure flags that are neccessary to support the radio stuff.


I did not try to build it myself.
