Hey guys This week I have been making progress on radio playback. I've not reached a stage where I've pushed anything to my public git repo yet, but I've basically managed to add a source as a child of the profile source. This source can then tune to a radio station and fetch the playlist last.fm provides.
I still need to implement parsing this playlist and showing its entries as they would be shown in any other source. I then want to work on the UI for creating radio stations. Hopefully by this time next week radio playback should be just about working and the UI give a good impression of what the final interface for it will be like. By that I mean basically functional, but still a bit rough around the edges. My planning last week was fairly accurate. Hopefully next week will be equally good (or better). Was quite surprised by a few parts of the Last.fm API. First up, POST requests didn't seem to work as they described in the API, but I managed to work out what was going on by looking at the source for Banshee and Vagalume. Also, the radio specific messages refuse to respond in JSON format. Up until now I've been requesting json as it's much simpler to parse than xml. Fortunately the responses for these are fairly simple (or at least, simple until the point where I feed it to totem-pl-parser to deal with) so this shouldn't be too big a problem. Just quite odd that this is the case. Anywho... Cheers for listening, see you next week!
