Hi all,

I have developed an audio add-on for Intergalactic FM, based on an existing add-on for SomaFM. The original author allow me to fork it.The result can be found here:

https://github.com/PanderMusubi/kodi-intergalacticfm/

Could someone do a review of this, please?

As a side node: In the process of developing this, I also developed a format for the channes.xml and channels.json as was created by SomaFM. This was also done in collaboration with the author there. The result of that is https://github.com/PanderMusubi/online-radio-channels

Second question is how can I setup http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Intergalactic_FM in a similar way as http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:SomaFM so that this add-on can ship in de standard Kodi add-on repository?

once your addon gets added to the kodi repo, the wiki page will be created automatically.

but if you want to create it manually, just login to the wiki and edit the page.

Code:

xbmc.log(str(msg))

please use the LOGDEBUG level for logging.

Code:

tempdir = xbmc.translatePath("special://temp/intergalacticfm")

addons should store their data inside their own subfolder under ../userdata/addon_data/

[Pander]

Thanks for the review. I have fixed all. Also the SomaFM addon has been improved with these. Please review again if you want.

Additional questions:

1) How can I show the same fanart.jpg when I have opened this addon in kodi and I am flipping through the channels?

2) How can I show the fanart.jpg when a channel is playing? Could this form a conflict with audio visualisation of will it simply be used as background also there?

[ronie]

you can add a fanart image to the listitems by using setArt()
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs...tem-setArt

the same fanart image will also be used during playback.
it's up to the skin you're using whether it will display the fanart image or the visualization... or both.

Would it be practical for inclusion in Kodi wiki and standard repo and to rename the project in GitHub so that it has the name plugin.audio.intergalacticfm ?

[Pander]

Thanks. Fanart has been added to list items and works like a charm.

Let me know if I need to change more (such as project name) to be selected for Kodi addon repo.

yup, while it's not mandatory, it's certainly preferred.

[Pander]

Done!

Could you add https://github.com/PanderMusubi/plugin.a...galacticfm to http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Intergalactic_FM and include it in Kodi's default repo?

Thanks

Hello Pander,

I just discovered your add-on. I hadn't heard of Intergalactic FM before, but now I'm a fan! Thanks for your work on this (and the SomaFM add-on).

The only downside is that artist and song info aren't displayed for any of the four streams. I noticed that the AAC stream was playing, so I tried switching to "MP3 Only" in the settings, but then I got no playback at all. I also noticed that there are icons for Main, Dream Machine, and The Garden, but none for Classix.

Also, FWIW, your add-on might get a bit more attention if you created a release/support thread in the Music Add-ons section of this board.

Thanks!
