I was able to obtain a list of the channels via ./somafm.py --list, but if I start it without arguments or with a specific channels selected I'm getting:

Loading stream...OK
-------------------------------
Playback stopped after 00:00:00

Some other SomaFM CLI clients have an option to hit a keyboard shortcut, which would then save the song name to a saved_songs.txt file, for example.

If I find some time I will try to dig in and learn some more Python to see if I could do this myself; but figured would add it in case you wanted any ideas.

Thanks a bunch for the library!

Hi,
thank you for somafm! I noticed it defaults to use http streams as opposed to https, I tested the same urls with https and they work fine for me. I believe it'd be fine to switch to https overall, what do you think ?

Hi,

I'm unsure how to get this to work once installed using pip in windows.
Is this supported?

(new to linux & new to python <-- just to set a context)

Considering a fresh install of Debian 11 on an amd64 box (non-gui), installing somafm via pip works - opening the app works and it makes music (mplayer and mpv are installed from previous endeavors). :)

I am having one issue and one possible feature request:

1. on a ctl-c, to quit the script, it errors as depicted here: https://i.imgur.com/kK40B2S.png
   BTW, SSH client (putty) requires a 'reset' as chars are making it to the server but not echoed in the terminal after the error.
   Also, the error orphans /tmp/soma.pid, requiring a manual rm of same before script runs again. https://i.imgur.com/XszcEGv.png

2. [FR?} Is it possible to have the script continue to run when it is forced to the background?
   If I ctl-z to do other things in the ssh session, the player ceases to make music until I foreground it again.
   If I try to force it background/subshell on launch with the & control operator, it keeps quiet, sadly.

If these are easily resolved, please advise salient details. Thanks, in advance.

We have changed the channels.json file to return http: links when called via http:// and https:// links when called via https://somafm.com./channels.json

Rather than re-writing URLs to http for players that don't support https, I would suggest just fetching the http channels.json and maybe offer a configuration flag to enable or disable https.
