Change custom Radio Station name on Favorites list? - Whizzo - 11-26-2019

Hi there!
It's my first post here, so above all - Thank you for such a great RPi distro! It's working really good for me, listening everyday actually Smile

What is a bit irritating for me though, is that I have added some additional radio stations via "New station" + button, which I later added to my list of Favorites.
The issue is - that some of them has IP addresses as urls (or meaningless DNS names), so when having couple of such, it's becoming hard to navigate which one is which.

Is there any way to edit the Radio Station names on "Favorites" playlist? (it seems there's no such way via the UI, but maybe on the config files on server itself?)
I'm using the latest version, 6.3.0.

Thanks for the answer. I can edit the playlist .m3u file as you mentioned to change the order or URL of the station, but all the custom ones will still show up in the UI as 'Radio Station'.

Here's what I mean:

As you can see the 4 manually added stations are listed as URLs and "Radio station", which makes it hard to remember which one is which (especially for the last two).

Guys, it's not the .m3u playlist that's the problem. Whether a pre-defined station or a user-defined station, the entry in the playlist file is the same, just a URL. Nothing to edit.

It appears /var/www/js/playerlib.js is emitting the string "Radio Station" because it thinks the station name is undefined in the data array returned from the backend.

I haven't had time to trace backward into the backend code to see why this happens for user-defined stations (I have my suspicion, but ....). If you're eager you can trace it yourself.

Kent

@Whizzo

A quick workaround is to disable "extra metadata".

Click the m-icon and choose "Appearance" -> Other options -> "Show extra metadata" > Select NO.

The radio station name is preserved (at least for me)

Interesting. That's a great clue!

Dump the cfg_radio table and verify that rows exist for each of the stations you added via the UI and that the columns are correctly populated..

Code:
sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select * from cfg_radio where id>499"

pi@rp3:~ $ sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db ".schema" | grep cfg_radio

CREATE TABLE cfg_radio (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, station CHAR (128), name CHAR (128), type CHAR (8), logo CHAR (128));

The type column will have a "u" for user added stations and the id's will be > 499.

Sidebar comment: The M3U file format is correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U

What you seem to be finding is that if the favorites file is in Extended M3U format with station names carried in an appropriately named comment then moOde (MPD actually) can use them.

RE: Change custom Radio Station name on Favorites list? - Tim Curtis - 01-29-2020

The MPD "save" command is used to write an m3u playlist file from entries in MPD queue. Since the MPD queue only has URL's and file paths that's all that's written.

Hey Tim, thanks for looking it up.
The cfg_radio table seems to be correct actually:

Code:
# sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "select * from cfg_radio where id>499"
