Proper Changelog: http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/NEWS

Still classified as beta release, because there wasn't any user feedback recently ;-!

There are a couple of new built-in channels in 2.1.8:

• Radionomy (at long last)
• Filtermusic
• Dirble (brought back)

And the new User Plugin Manager allows easier installation of additional channel modules. Of which the project repository now contains:

• di.fm / sky.fm / jazzradio (all hosted by Radiotunes)
• Delicast
• PublicRadioFan, Punkcast
• an import module for Great Little Radio Players CSV playlist (stream links partially outdated already)
• a basic Windows Media Guide parser (requires >= 2.1.9 due to ASX parsing)
• the file browser
• a channel mixer ("Compound"), still has some issues with not copying entries... read more

• There's now drag'n'drop for importing and exporting stations.

• A few more documentation page updates took place.
• Couple of bug fixes, and workarounds for Gtk3/Py3 were added.

• Playlist conversion, caching and temporary directory got reworked.
• Added "feed" list for Jamendo channel.... read more

There has been lots of refactoring and bugfixes in the latest releases - without changing much of the interface or behaviour. It's still considered beta quality release, because of some crucial internal changes.

• The plugin system has been remodelled to simplify extensions.
• New channels for SomaFM.com, Radio-Browser.info, UbuntuUsers were added.
• Playlist parsing and conversion has been completely redone. Which now permits more practical exporting of whole station lists. In particular the a new "Export all" plugin simplifies exchanging streams.
• An experimental RadioTray plugin allows direct bookmarking to another application.
• Some UI fixes help with the configuration, and keep the association of last active tabs and categories in order. Channel tabs are now on the left per default, and can be reordered directly in the GUI.
• There's an entirely new "PYZ"-Package, which is a self-contained Python ZIP. It can be run without further installation via python2 streamtuner2.pyz for testing or parallel use.
• Documentation and project infos have been updated.
• Version 2.1.6 also fixes a few bugs with the bookmarks and search feature.... read more

Streamtuner2 is an internet radio browser for various directory services.

• Release 2.1.3 brought a new plugin for Dirble.com.
• The Live365 plugin has been fixed, and the Xiph.org browsing cache service adapted to return plain JSON arrays.
• This release also added a new layout option for having channel tabs arranged left-hand of the category and stream lists.

Update 2.1.3-1 fixes the search dialog UI declaration for Gtk2 and Python2 (Gtk3 with Python3 was unaffected). Updates are further announced on http://freshcode.club/projects/streamtuner2

Streamtuner2 is an internet radio browser. It displays mp3 streaming stations by genre from SHOUTcast, live365, Xiph and Google directories.

Apart from the new logo, this release finally adds a nice search function. Context menus now make most station features available. Also there's now an editor for entries, and the bookmark handling was fixed, allows to delete radio stations.

Internel APIs have been simplified. And caching and settings data are now really stored in JSON format, even though that's slower. SHOUTcast category refreshing has been fixed. The redundant directory provider homepage button was removed.... read more

Streamtuner2 is an internet radio browser. It mimicks the older C-based StreamTuner, but is written in Python. It's a simplistic interface to browser directory services, music genres and MP3 streaming radio stations.

The beta release finally adds favicon support. Though it turned out not all radio stations have one.

Overall the application is more stable now, because it works around the Gtk+ threading problem. Shoutcast and Live365 browsing is fixed now, and even slightly faster than before.... read more
