Overview

Introduction

Radio Paradise is a unique blend of many styles and genres of music, carefully selected and mixed by two real human beings — enhanced by a dazzling photo slideshow, tied in thematically with the songs that are playing. There's nothing else that's quite like it.

The Application

This is an OS X client for Radio Paradise.

The app is currently published on the Mac App Store. If you only ned the executable, grab it from there.

The code

The code used to be almost the same of the iOS version and is based on AVPlayer, that manage all the audio play (both "standard" and PSD).

Program FLow

The main controller is RPWindowController. Code is hopefully easy to follow. There are 3 AVPlayer objects to manage the main stream and the PSD stream (PSD needs two object to manage the "PSD to PSD transition"), state transitions for the streams are managed via KVO.

Metadata about the played song are taken directly from radio paradise (not from the stream metadata, because AVPlayer do not supports that for network streams), a NSTimer handles the task (in -[metatadaHandler:timer]). Another NSTimer manages the load of the images for the HD stream (in -[loadNewImage:timer]). PSD play is triggered and managed here. The "return" from the PSD is also timer-triggered.

The management of UI state and stream start is via KVO.

The main controllers also tries to manage the fading between the main stream and the PSD streams. Unfortunately volume controls (and therefore the fading) don't work on main stream. This is a know limitation of AVPlayer (cfr. Apple's qa1716 ). The fading work on the PSD songs.

The application logs heavily when DLog() (defined in RadioParadise-Prefix.pch) is set to have output. Be aware to not distribute the application with logging on (it's really, really verbose).

The application requires OS X Yosemite (or later). It can be built for 10.7 (just remove the NSVisualEffectView from the overlay of the main windows and from the lyrics window in the main XIB file and filter the code for the animators and the notification).

Patches and improvements are always welcome.

  • Use native

    Use native "Next Song" keys on OSX Keyboard

    The native OSX Keyboard media keys could be used like so:

    • When I press the "Next", "Play something different" is activated.
    • The client can be paused
    • Pressing the back button could jump back to the currently playing song of RP

    media

    See this StackOverflow article:

    I accomplished this in my own application by subclassing NSApplication (and setting the app's principal class to this subclass). It catches seek and play/pause keys and translates them to specific actions in my app delegate.

    Relevant lines:

    #import <IOKit/hidsystem/ev_keymap.h>

- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)event
{
  // Catch media key events
  if ([event type] == NSSystemDefined && [event subtype] == 8)
  {
      int keyCode = (([event data1] & 0xFFFF0000) >> 16);
      int keyFlags = ([event data1] & 0x0000FFFF);
      int keyState = (((keyFlags & 0xFF00) >> 8)) == 0xA;

      // Process the media key event and return
      [self mediaKeyEvent:keyCode state:keyState];
      return;
  }

  // Continue on to super
  [super sendEvent:event];
}

- (void)mediaKeyEvent:(int)key state:(BOOL)state
{
  switch (key)
  {
      // Play pressed
      case NX_KEYTYPE_PLAY:
          if (state == NO)
              [(TSAppController *)[self delegate] togglePlayPause:self];
          break;

      // Rewind
      case NX_KEYTYPE_FAST:
          if (state == YES)
              [(TSAppController *)[self delegate] seekForward:self];
          break;

      // Previous
      case NX_KEYTYPE_REWIND:
          if (state == YES)
              [(TSAppController *)[self delegate] seekBack:self];
          break;
  }
}

    Clicking the song does not open Safari

    I've been using RP for quite a while and today when a song played that I liked I wanted to rate it, opening the song in Safari.app.

    But clicking a Song does no longer seem to open my browser.

  • Use

    Use "Template Images" for monochrome status bar icon

    I use the "Black & White System Menu Icon" option, which I like a lot. But I often use >1 monitor, and the inactive monitors grey out the icons. For this app, the icon becomes an opaque oval with a little tail for the bottom of the "P"

    rp-status-bar

    Instead, can you make the "RP" part of the logo completely transparent and set the image to be a "template image" so that it is still identifiable on the inactive monitors?

  • Bluetooth command start/stop is ignored

    Bluetooth command start/stop is ignored

    Howdee folks,

    Looks like pausing the stream is not working when a bluetooth device sends the command. I have a wireless headset connected to my computer (Mac OS Mojave) and when I press pause then the app keeps playing. Spotify and other audio apps work fine and indeed pause the playback.

    Cheers,

    Danny
