Milestone 1: Liquidsoap broadcasting skeleton
Liquidsoap (v2.4.5) container that plays the /cache directory in random order and broadcasts it over HTTP at :8000/radio.mp3 (MP3 192 kbps). mksafe guarantees a continuous stream (silence when the cache is empty). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# radieo
|
||||
|
||||
A personal music radio: an always-on HTTP audio stream, automatically fed from
|
||||
several sources and broadcast with [Liquidsoap](https://www.liquidsoap.info/).
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is a hassle-free stream that always has something playing, where the
|
||||
next track is picked automatically. It is meant for personal use (a couple of
|
||||
simultaneous listeners), not for public broadcasting.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
radieo is built as two layers, each running in its own Docker container and
|
||||
sharing a cache volume:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`ingest`** (Python) — the brain. It decides what to play next, resolves and
|
||||
downloads tracks into a local cache, keeps a pre-filled queue, and exposes the
|
||||
next track over HTTP. *(planned — see roadmap below)*
|
||||
- **`stream`** (Liquidsoap) — deliberately dumb. It broadcasts the audio over
|
||||
HTTP and never goes silent thanks to a local fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
Playback sources (planned): a [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) library
|
||||
via the OpenSubsonic API, arbitrary tracks fetched with
|
||||
[yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) (Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube…), and
|
||||
listening suggestions from a ListenBrainz RSS feed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements: Docker with Compose v2.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Drop some .mp3 files into the cache directory
|
||||
cp /path/to/music/*.mp3 cache/
|
||||
|
||||
# Build and start the stream
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
|
||||
# Listen (VLC, a browser, any audio player)
|
||||
# http://localhost:8000/radio.mp3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Stop it with `docker compose down`.
|
||||
|
||||
The stream is MP3 at 192 kbps. Multiple clients can listen at the same time.
|
||||
New files dropped into `cache/` are picked up automatically (the playlist is
|
||||
reloaded when the directory changes).
|
||||
|
||||
## Current status
|
||||
|
||||
**Milestone 1 — broadcasting skeleton: done.**
|
||||
|
||||
- Liquidsoap (v2.4.5) container plays the `cache/` directory in random order.
|
||||
- HTTP stream served at `http://localhost:8000/radio.mp3` (MP3, 192 kbps).
|
||||
- Continuous output guaranteed: silence rather than a crash when the cache is
|
||||
empty (`mksafe`).
|
||||
- Multiple simultaneous listeners supported.
|
||||
|
||||
At this stage the playlist is filled manually; the automatic ingestion layer is
|
||||
not implemented yet.
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ **Broadcasting skeleton** — Liquidsoap serving the cache directory.
|
||||
2. **Ingestion daemon** — Python daemon exposing `GET /next`; Liquidsoap
|
||||
switches to a `request.dynamic` source with the cache as fallback.
|
||||
3. **Navidrome provider** — play from an OpenSubsonic playlist, with caching,
|
||||
LRU retention and play history.
|
||||
4. **yt-dlp provider** — fetch tracks from a maintained URL/artist list; weighted
|
||||
mixing between sources.
|
||||
5. **Canonicalizer** — ListenBrainz MBID lookup for source-agnostic
|
||||
de-duplication.
|
||||
6. **ListenBrainz provider** — parse the RSS suggestions feed and resolve each
|
||||
one to Navidrome or yt-dlp.
|
||||
7. **Polish** — crossfade, robustness, optional web player, config file.
