Import/Export Radio Stations and merge them - Gromit - 07-24-2020
Hi all,
first i want to emphasize that i really appreciate the new feature of exporting and importing stations, that really simplifies the process of a backup and when i upgrade the version to a higher major number when my personal stations are lost with installing a new fresh image.
I' now looking for a possibility how to merge new stations to my list without dropping my existing ones.
Ideally there would be a merge possibility, importing a new list without deleting the old ones => a new idea how to improve the import functionality in future.
As long as a "Merge" or "Import without deleting the database before" doesn't exist:
How would be the necessary manual steps to merge manually two stations.zip archieves?
Edit /var/local/www/db/cfg_radfio.csv and insert the new station(s) here at the end
Insert a new .pls file in
\var\lib\mpd\music\RADIO\
Insert a new logo in
\var\local\www\imagesw\radio-logos\
\var\local\www\imagesw\radio-logos\thumbs\
Which criteria must the image files met?
When a merge would be easy possible, it would simplyfy the way how users can share their favorite radio stations.
Best,
Christoph

If you look at my solution of a year ago (https://github.com/TheOldPresbyope/moode-radio-utils) you'll see it did just this merge. That code was written to help a single user with his problem. I haven't revisited it to see how it compares to Tim's solution, but based on my experience I'm sure Tim's could be adjusted to suit.
Regards,
Kent

I'll add "merge" to the TODO list for moOde 7 series.
