@github-actions github-actions released this 04 Nov 19:53
  • In Browse, the context menu on a directory's folder, such as Celine Dion under By Genre in Online Radio Box, now adds the whole folder and its stations at once: Add to Favorites, Add to Collection (with New Collection), Add to Favorites Folder and Add to Collection Folder. It arrives as a folder with its subfolders kept, and you hear how many stations came. Adding the same folder again only brings what is new. One add stops at 5000 stations and says so, so a whole directory cannot run for hours.
  • Removing a station from Favorites or a collection now takes out every copy in its folders, not only the first one found.
  • Export on a directory's folder in Browse now says how many stations it wrote. The file was saved before too, but the message was lost to an internal error.

  • F5, F6 and F7 now measure from what you are hearing. Many stations, such as WNYC, send up to 15 seconds of audio the moment you connect, and BlindRadio counted that as time behind live, so F5 said 0:16 after two seconds of play. F5 now says how far back it really went, F6 always goes back, and F7 returns to live without a gap. Pausing at live also resumes where you stopped, not further ahead.
  • The FM sound between stations now plays at one fixed level, whatever the volume of the station you are tuning to. Mute still silences it.
  • In Edit Station, you now hear each Equalizer and Equalizer Preset choice as you move through them, if that station is playing. OK keeps it, Cancel puts back what was there.
  • Delete on a station in the main window's tree now asks before removing it, from the key and from the context menu.

  • Settings has a new Sources tab where you can turn each directory and network on or off. Press Space on a row, or use the buttons to change a whole list. One that is off leaves Browse and Search. Stations you saved from it keep playing.

  • New directory: Online Radio Box, in Browse and Search. It offers By Genre and each region of the world, with that region's countries inside.
  • Song History (Ctrl+Y) now reaches back up to a week for stations Online Radio Box follows. Older songs show how long ago they played, such as 2 d 3 h.
  • Song History now finds many more stations' own lists, from any directory: StreamTheWorld stations such as .977 and Radio 538, Live365, laut.fm, AzuraCast stations such as WHFF, BBC, KEXP and Radio Paradise. These lists come first, then Online Radio Box continues from where they end.

  • Station Info now looks up TuneIn stations, adding slogan, genre, location, language and homepage where TuneIn gives them. It works for stations TuneIn will not play where you are, such as MS NOW.
  • BlindRadio now tells Radio Browser when one of its stations has played for ten seconds, as Radio Browser asks every app to do. Its popular lists depend on these counts. Radio Browser sees your IP address and the station. Turn it off with Report Plays to Radio Browser in Settings, General.

BlindRadio 0.2.59

@github-actions github-actions released this 04 Nov 04:48
  • A station can now have its own equalizer. In Edit Station, Equalizer is Use Global, On or Off, and On offers Equalizer Preset with every preset, your saved ones included. It switches by itself as you move between stations, so a very quiet station can always play through Loudness while the others stay as they are.
  • With Loudness on, the hiss between stations no longer grows to nearly full volume. It now stays as soft as with the equalizer off.

  • TuneIn stations it marks Not Supported are back in Search and Browse, and BlindRadio now tries them. Many were only marked that way because BlindRadio did not tell TuneIn which formats it plays, so Z100 - MyRadioZ and others now list and play normally.

  • A TuneIn station that still will not play, such as MS NOW outside the United States, shows TuneIn's reason beside its name. Playing it says "Failed:", its name and that reason, not a generic failure.

  • Pressing Enter on a station, or moving back onto one whose connection was lost, now always builds a new time-shift buffer. Before, the station played with no working buffer until you switched to another and back. When a station reconnects by itself it still keeps its buffer.

  • Record in the Recording menu is now checked while a recording is in progress.
  • With JAWS running, messages are now spoken by JAWS itself, so "Recording saved to..." and the rest reach it directly, wherever you are working.
  • Ending a recording from the menu can hold the window for a moment. The saved message now waits until that is over and your screen reader has started reading the station tree, so the reading does not cut it off.

  • TuneIn in Browse now has Local Radio, Music, Talk and Sports as well as By Location. Long lists now end in Load More. They used to stop after about 26 stations. TuneIn repeats some stations between pages, and Browse lists each one once.

  • Search no longer lists stations that only sound like what you typed. Radio.net, iHeartRadio and TuneIn guess at near spellings, so CKNW also brought up CKNB, KFI and others, and Internet-Radio matched the song playing now. Every word you type must now be in the station's name, genre or call sign.
  • TuneIn no longer lists stations it marks Not Supported, in Search or in Browse. They only played a spoken refusal.
  • Station Info and Search now know the genre and call sign of iHeartRadio stations, so searching WHTZ finds Z100.
  • Messages after a menu command are no longer cut off. "Recording saved to..." and the like were said just as focus returned to the station tree, and your screen reader's reading of the tree stopped them. They now wait until that reading has started and follow it. The same goes for context menus, the tray menu, closing a dialog and coming back with Alt+Tab.
