Radio Playlist on Rhythmbox

[colobix]

HI all.

When I have added radio streams to Rhythmbox, but where can I find the playlist file with the saved links in, and whats the filename?

Thanks

They are in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml

That file contains all of your music library though so it's pretty huge.

You want the entries that have:
<entry type="iradio">

Hmm, are you sure? I can't find the file rhythmdb.xml when I search for it. Not even a Gnome2 directory in root.

You can also get the details in rhythmbox by right clicking on the radio stream and viewing the properties if that's all you want.

Yeah it should be in /home/yourname/.gnome2/rhythmbox

The .gnome2 directory is hidden as it has a "." in front so you have to select view hidden files or press Ctl+H.

I found it now. Thank you.
But I hoped the radio stations was in an own playlist file.

If all of the streams are http ones then you can use this to output a file just containing them.

Open a terminal (applications - accessories - terminal) and enter:

cd .gnome2/rhythmbox
grep "http://" rhythmdb.xml > radio_stations.txt

That will put them all in their own text file called radio_stations.txt.
There might be some other entries that are mms:// or something so you could append the file with:

grep "mms://" rhythmdb.xml >> radio_stations.txt

Just change the mms to the different protocols used.

OK cool. But is it possible to add more protocols like mms:// and rtsp:// too. How will the command look like then?

Yeah you can use this:

egrep "(http://)|(mms://)|(rtsp://)" rhythmdb.xml > radio_stations.txt

Note the "egrep" instead of "grep".

Thank you so much.
It worksfine now

[swoosh]

Thank you so much.
It worksfine now

Hi, currently I'm not able to play rstp:// streams in my Rhythmbox.

Are you able to play it?

Can you repeat your solution here?

Thanks.
