it is a lazy radio station using github and some shell.

allows you publish your own radio playlist on github.

you can listen to the same songs with friends as long as you are tuned into the same channels.

faq section:

• is it secure? not really, because it just curls what ever you have posted on github and therefore could be used to spread malicious code.

• am i ruthless enough to publish it anyway? yes.

• will it ever get popular? no.

that said, use at your own risk!

• fork repo -- this creates your own place on the web where you can upload your web radio playlist.
• clone to local machine -- mainly for further editing.
• adopt url in install.sh to your fork's url, to match the raw files play.sh, txt/secondsEach.txt and txt/secondsTotal.txt -- when using github as your remote git server only username.txt has to be changed.
• adopt urls in songs.txt to your liking -- just add in your own urls, one per line, even non youtube urls should work, but I didn't test this.
• run bash setup.sh in terminal on local machine (from within your local git repo's root) -- this adopts the files in the tmp directory to your new playlist (this has to be done every time the playlist changes).
• add, commit and push changes -- this makes your changes publically accessible through the web.
• run bash install.sh in terminal on local machine (from within your local git repo's root) -- this should add an alias to your .bashrc (source ~/.bashrc to use the alias, or open another terminal).

• fork repo .
• clone to local machine.
• run bash install.sh in terminal on local machine (from within git repo's root).

• run lazyRadio alias in terminal on local machine to play radio -- this alias grabs your public script from the your public git repo and downloads and plays the urls in your playlist.

• youtube-dl.
• mpv.
• curl, git, github, etc.

• will play songs almost simultaneously on different machines, as long as those have their UTC system time configured similar.
• breaks for people that cannot access certain urls provided through songs.txt from their country.
• should work with not only youtube urls since youtube-dl and mpv can do more than only youtube.
• when playing long songs (as provided through urls) the different radios might differ because of different loading issues per machine (this offset should reset with every newly started song).
