[mythtv-users] MythRadio?

[Matt Hannan]

I am not talking about satellite or Internet radio, and that seems to be
where this whole MythRadio things gets mucked down.
I am talking about thru the air radio like in your old Pontiac.

The PVR-350 has an actual radio input. I am sure that a bunch of other
cards do to.

I have read the old (last year) threads on this and it seems that this
module is not happening do to excessive feature creep. This guys thinks
it should be recordable, this guy thinks it should be streamable, this
guy thinks it should be Internet radio, this guy thinks it should be
purple with green trim, etc.

I just want to hear Howard Stern (while I still can) or the Sunday
afternoon reggae show on the local college radio station!

Sure, enabling some kind of Internet radio deal in MythMusic sounds
good. But that is not the radio I am talking about.

Just my two cents.

Since mplayer will play internet radio, it's easy to add xml menus
to select and play stations, with no coding.  I use this approach.
I can't see fit to post an example again since it's in the archives;
I can email if you contact me off-list.  The down side is lack of
integration with other modules.  I have a "Radio off" menu item that
must be selected to stop playing.  It's an unlcean exception to the
way in which other modules work.  Isaac has made it clear that 
radio belongs within MythMusic.  The xml menu method is a cheap
non-coder's alternative that I find workable for my family's use.
