v0.50

Fixed

• Pause: pausing the radio from the Mac Control Center or media keys, or from the notification, lock screen or Bluetooth controls on Android, now stops the stream, so resuming puts you back on the live broadcast instead of the delayed buffered audio.
• Mac Control Center: while the radio is paused, the cover and track title no longer flicker to the app icon and name.

Linux (preview)

Download radioe45_<version>_amd64.deb (x64) or radioe45_<version>_arm64.deb (ARM64, e.g. Raspberry Pi), then:

sudo apt install ./radioe45_<version>_amd64.deb

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Requires a distribution with apt (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Linux Mint, …). This is a preview: please report issues on GitHub.

v0.49

New

• Android TV: the app now runs on Android TV and Google TV with a remote-friendly screen: now playing with the next track, previous/next station and favorite, song requests, podcasts, the schedule, and adding, editing and deleting stations with the on-screen keyboard.

Fixed

• Android: resuming the radio after a long pause (for example after the TV or a media key paused it) now reconnects to the live stream instead of playing the old buffered audio.
• Schedule: with a larger text size the schedule panel on iPhone and Android now uses the full screen width instead of a narrow window, and the "On Air" badge keeps its normal height.

Linux (preview)

v0.48

New

• Apple CarPlay: choose a station from the list on the car screen and see the track, artist and cover in Now Playing; the car's buttons pause, resume and change station.
• iPhone and iPad: the next and previous buttons on the lock screen, in Control Center, in CarPlay and on headphones switch to the next or previous station.

Fixed

• CarPlay: stations that stream in MP3 now start in about a second instead of after about 20 seconds, also after pause and when changing station.
• iPhone and iPad: when you unplug headphones or disconnect from CarPlay, the radio stays paused instead of starting again on the phone speaker a few seconds later.
• On Air: the HLS badge has the same height as the station name badge.

Fix known MAUI/Core issues found while porting to Uno

New

• Web app on GitHub Pages: Radio E45 now runs in the browser at https://delfuria.github.io/RadioE45/ and can be installed as an app from the browser menu.

Improved

• Requests: songs titled "jingle" are no longer listed among the songs you can request.
• Podcasts: the episode count now uses the right singular and plural ("1 episode", "2 episodes"), including the Polish forms.
• Add station: a station you already have is now recognised even if you type the server address with https:// or a trailing slash.
• Settings: the Theme setting now always shows the theme that is actually applied.
• Web: songs without artwork now show the Radio E45 generic cover instead of an empty placeholder.

Fixed

• Linux (arm64): the app failed to start on a clean system because of missing system libraries.
• Light theme: secondary text in the schedule and in the podcast pages was hard to read.
• Loading: "No schedule", "No songs", "No podcasts" and "No episodes" are no longer shown while the list is still loading.
• Requests: after a loading error the empty list now shows its message.

Radio E45 comes to Linux and your browser

New

• Linux desktop app, with .deb packages for x64 and arm64.
• Web app that runs in the browser and can be installed as a PWA, with an offline shell.
• Both new apps include On Air, Channels, Add/Edit station, Podcasts, Settings, Terms of use and the side menu.
• System media controls: MPRIS on Linux and Media Session in the browser.
• Clearer schedule: streamers always take precedence, and playlists are clipped or split around their time slots.
• A streamer shows LIVE only when connected, otherwise On schedule. Playlists show On Air only when no live is connected.
• Schedule popup: microphone icon for streamers, music note for playlists.
• Terms and Conditions page.
• Privacy info for macOS.

Improved

• Podcast episode filters are always visible, with the status filter first.
• Station search retries on local-network hosts while the Local Network alert is shown, and skips private hosts for public stations.
• Web: the radio restarts after a podcast, and starts at the first tap when autoplay is blocked.
• Web: streams the browser fetch refuses can still play.
• Web: content is centered on wide screens.

Fixed

• Podcast resume position.
• Podcast tab switching.
• Web: playback no longer fails because streams were intercepted by the service worker.
• Neutral-language strings.

New features and some fix

New

• Live broadcasts now show the DJ's display name instead of their username.
• The LIVE badge now sits on the top-right corner of the artwork.

Fixes

• Song Request tab now appears on stations whose AzuraCast server doesn't
  report requests_enabled.

• Minor fix in the now-playing metadata handling.

Station names on OnAir, keyboard and contrast fixes Latest

What's new

• OnAir: the previous/next station buttons are now smaller and show the
  name of the station they switch to (up to 2 lines). They are hidden
  when only one station is available.

Fixes

• Song request: the error message is now shown right below the search
  bar, so the on-screen keyboard no longer hides it on mobile.
• iOS: the search keyboard on the song request tab can now be dismissed
  (new "Done" button, dismissed on search and on list scroll).
• iOS: the clear button in the song request search is now readable in the
  dark theme.
• iOS: Fix iOS keyboard dismiss on song request search
• OnAir: removed an extra empty gap above the recently played list.
• Improved text contrast in the dark theme (muted text and search
  placeholder are lighter).
• Desktop: window height reduced by 10%.

A new, simpler and tidier interface

• Only the station tabs remain at the bottom: On Air, Request and Podcasts
(Request and Podcasts appear only if the station supports them).
• New side menu (☰ button) with Channels and Settings.
• The menu also holds the station links: website, up to 3 social profiles and
contacts (email and phone), all just a tap away.
• The schedule opens from the calendar icon next to the upcoming track, in a
panel that slides up from the bottom. The icon appears only if the station
has a schedule.
• When editing a station you can enter its website, social profiles, email
and phone.
• Small visual improvements to the light theme.
