Listen to internet radio in vim8/neovim
With this plugin you are able to listen to radio-streams inside your favorite text editor on Unix.
You need to have VLC and vim8/Neovim installed.
You may install via vim-plug, if you insert the following in your dotfile.
Plug 'TheSovietStorm/vim-radio'The manual way would be to copy vim-radio.py into ~/.config/nvim/autoload/vim-radio/vim-radio/
Add your desired Stream to streams.csv in ~/.config/nvim/autoload/vim-radio/vim-radio in the form of:
"http://www.blabla.m3u"
"http://somethingelse.m3u"
"http://iTriedOnlyM3U.m3u"
To be able to listen to the music in background we need the async jobs, and for convenience you can add the following to your dotfiles (Edit the path to your Plugins, if they are in other locations).
nmap <leader>r :let job1 = job_start(['bash','-c','python3 ~/.vim/plugged/vim-radio/vim-radio/vim-radio.py 0'])
nmap <leader>s :call job_stop(job1)<CR>nmap <leader>r :let job1 = jobstart(['bash','-c','python3 ~/.config/nvim/autoload/vim-radio/vim-radio/vim-radio.py 0'])
nmap <leader>s :call jobstop(job1)<CR>When you press r you can either listen to the first stream provided, by pressing or changing the '0' to any index of your stream. With s you can stop playing the radio.
Feel free to tell me how to make better code, i have literally no experience in writing vim Plugins
