 |

Hi,
KRadio has been removed from portage.
It worked really well for me.
During the last system update, I ended up unmerging it because it was creating blockers.
So I've tried to use GQRadio instead, but it fails to initialize.
It writes Failed to start /dev/radio0 in its GUI.
On the console, it writes the message Error, radio support missing, or failed to init radio device!
Oddly, KRadio was also using /dev/radio0, with no problem
| Code: | ls -la /dev/radio0
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 2 Jun 4 19:40 /dev/radio0 |
The hopefully-relevant dmesgs:

I've tried running GQRadio as root, which doesn't work either, so it's probably not a rights-problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks |

| I've just added the last version of kradio to kde-sunset overlay, among several other packages. Beware of the wrath of ancient neglected packages in there though. |

Hi Asturm!
Using KRadio from an overlay is certainly an option, and I'll keep it in mind, but I'd like to get GQRadio to work also. It *should* work, since the radio device worked for KRadio.
I should have formulated my question better:
What are the alternatives to KRadio (other than GQRadio)?
Thanks for taking the time to reply. |

I used to have a USB AM/FM radio thing, and used GQRadio for years. However, I gave up trying to keep it working a few years back when it became obvious the project had died upstream and would require a significant rewrite to support modern GUI libraries. The whole world has moved on to streaming it seems, and developer attention for /dev/radio devices is now almost non-existent. Your best option IMO is to try to get support under one of the media players (vlc, mpv, et al). In theory the /dev/radio stuff is part of the whole V4L infrastructure which those projects support. I doubt any of the developers have access to the necessary devices for testing, though, so it may take some effort to get something working. |
