node-radio-automation

This app is a multichannel playlist audio streaming automation.

At the moment you can use the api to control the app behavior.
The Stream controls are full working.
The Frontend App (Web Interface) is in progress.

Features

• manage Icecast2 as Streaming Server

• using MPC (Music Player Client)
• manage Channels with Shows and their Playlists
• generate Playlists with:
  • Intro
  • Spots
  • Postcast
  • Hot Rotation
• serving an API to control the app with a Web-Interface or API-Client
• no Database needed
• runs on a Raspberry Pi (but only with one Channel)

What is this NOT?

• a Music Player Remote Controller or a MPD Client.
• a System to manage your files and play them like Foobar2000, iTunes or others.
• a Spotify player or youtube or, or, or.
• a System to manage dozens of files
