To install automatically on Ubuntu / RaspberryPi OS, copy => paste => run the command below in a terminal program (using the 'Terminal' app in the system menu, or over remote SSH), while logged in AS THE USER THAT WILL RUN THE APP (user must have sudo privileges):

wget --no-cache -O bt-radio-setup.bash https://tinyurl.com/bt-radio-setup;chmod +x bt-radio-setup.bash;./bt-radio-setup.bash


AFTER installation, ~/radio is installed as a shortcut command pointing to this script, and paired bluetooth reconnects (if disconnected) when you start a new terminal session. 


A command line parameter can be passed to auto-select menu choices. Multi sub-option selecting is available too, by seperating each sub-option with a space, AND ecapsulating everything in quotes like "option1 sub-option2 sub-sub-option3".

Running normally (displays options to choose from):

~/radio
 
Auto-selecting single / multi option examples (MULTI OPTIONS #MUST# BE IN QUOTES!):
 
~/radio "1 y"
~/radio "upgrade y"
(checks for / confirms script upgrade)
 
~/radio "7 1 b3"
~/radio "play 1 b3"
(plays pyradio default playlist 3rd station in background)
 
~/radio 8
~/radio stop
(stops pyradio playback)
 
~/radio "10 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
~/radio "connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
(connect bluetooth device by mac address)
 
~/radio "11 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
~/radio "remove XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
(remove bluetooth device by mac address)
 
~/radio "12 3"
~/radio "devices paired"
(shows paired bluetooth devices)
