Hi, Francesco.

Looking at my moOde 8.1.2 player just now, I see the script /var/www/util/station_manager.py

Code:

pi@moode64:~ $ /var/www/util/station_manager.py -h
usage: station_manager.py [-h] [--version] (--import | --export | --clear | --compare | --diff DIFF | --regeneratepls) [--scope {all,moode,other}]
                         [--type {favorite,regular,hidden,nothidden}] [--how {clear,merge}] [--db DB] [--logopath LOGOPATH]
                         [backupfile]

Manages import and export of moOde radiostations.

positional arguments:
 backupfile            Filename of the station backup. Required by the import, export and compare.

optional arguments:
 -h, --help            show this help message and exit
 --version             show program's version number and exit
 --import              Import radio stations from backup.
 --export              Export radio stations to backup.
 --clear               Clear radio stations. This will delete the contents of the SQL table, logo images and pls files of the selected stations within the specified
                       scope.
 --compare             Show difference between SQL table and station backup.
 --diff DIFF           Create a diff backup with the difference between the old (=backup) and new (=db) to this files.
 --regeneratepls       Regenerate the radio .pls files from db.
 --scope {all,moode,other}
                       Indicate to which stations the specified action applies. (default: other)
 --type {favorite,regular,hidden,nothidden}
                       Indicate the type of station to export.
 --how {clear,merge}   On import, clear stations before action or merge and add. (default: merge)
 --db DB               File name of the SQL database. (default: /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db
 --logopath LOGOPATH   Location of the radio logos. (default: /var/local/www/imagesw/radio-logo

Root privileges required for import or clear.

I haven't had time to review this script to see if what I wrote in this HowTo is still relevant.
