Project 2d – Implementing a Python text interface to VLC
The methodology for testing the radio.py file is available in the Chapter 4 supplemental materials folder. It is a simple text interface with the following features:
- It reads the Internet station streams we want from a file called
/home/radio/playlist - It shows the first item in the playlist is the default item, and it will play as soon as the application loads
- It prints out a list of the stations in the
playlistfile - It allows you to enter a station number to start playing any station
- It implements a simple retry mechanism if stations don't start to play within 2 seconds
- It allows you to enter '
0' to exit the program
