[mythtv-users] MythRadio module for DVB radio reception

[Jon Whitear]

I'd be very interested.

I think it'd be a lot trickier than it sounds at first - I guess you
would have the backend tune the 'channel', and stream the audio to the
front end, in exactly the same way as you do with TV. That raises
questions about how you deal with radio 'channels', which starts making
my head hurt.

Subject: [mythtv-users] MythRadio module for DVB radio reception

Having finally got my DVB card up and running I was trying to pickup
some of the DVB radio stations that are broadcast here in Australia.

I tried to setup ABC DigRadio, but was unable due to the video PID being
0.  I tried setting the video PID to the same one as the ABC TV PID, but
to no avail. (this is just a bit of background for the next bit by the
way)

Anyway this got me thinking.  Apparently Mplayer can receive DVb radio
so would it be hard to knock up a DVB radio module with a nice front end
that could call mplayer command line style - much as is currently being
done with MythDVD etc.

If there is enough interest I'll give it a go.
