gmpc-shoutcastbrowser version 0.0.2 released

Here’s the NEWS entry:

The plugin name has changed to shoutcastbrowserplugin.so.

Pressing Enter in the Search genre box will do the search.

Remember the search text for the Search genre between instances.

Fixed showing the stations when changing between sub/genres.

Cached files are now stored in ~/.cache/gmpc/shoutcastbrowser.

Added parsing of the Bitrate, Listeners and stream Type fields.

Remember the Genre column width between sessions. Other columns are not
remembered for the moment. But you can change which are shown and their sizes
by editing ~/.config/gmpc/gmpc.cfg. Look for shoutcastbrowser-colsize and
shoutcastbrowser-colshow.

Now chooses the stream from the retrieved playlist with the least amount of
listeners.

If you have a Debian based distribution installed, you can do ‘./configure && make deb’ to build a .deb package. You’ll need to have the dpkg-dev package installed to let this work.

gmpc-shoutcastbrowser plugin for Gmpc

For users of the Gnome Music Player Client, I’ve written a plugin to browse SHOUTcast.com genres and stations. Right-click on the SHOUTcast button in the left pane, then click “Refresh” to download the available genres. Then click on a genre to show sub-genres and stations. Double-clicking on a station will play it and right-clicking on one will show other options. See the gmpc-shoutcastbrowser homepage for a screenshot and download links.

I’m not sure how long this version will work since it parses the HTML of SHOUTcast.com with regular expressions and these change from time-to-time. I’ve wrritten a couple other frontends (ncast and EZXRadio) that do the same and have had this problem before. But it should be easy enough to update since usually its only the regex that needs to be fixed.
