Just connect to the URL\n\n    mono: \"http://IP:port/FrequencyInHerz\"\n    mono: \"http://IP:port/FrequencyInHerz/0\"\n    stereo: \"http://IP:port/FrequencyInHerz/1\"\n\nTo use this tool in KODI simply create a *.strm file e.g. \"FM\\_93_2.strm\"\n \n    http://localhost:2346/93200000\n\nJSON-RPC API\n--------------\nrtl_fm_streamer comes with a [JSON-RPC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-RPC) 1.0 API. It is listening at port 2345 but you can specify the port with the parameter \"-j\".\n\n    $ ./rtl_fm_streamer -j 1234\n    \n**Provided methods**\n\nMethod | Parameters | Return | Description\n------ | ---------- | ------ | -----------\nSetFrequency | Frequency in Hz | Frequency in Hz | Tunes to a given frequency\nGetPowerLevel | None  |  Power level in DBFS | Returns the current power level in DBFS\n\n**Example Set Frequency**\nclient  --\u003e rtl_fm_streamer\n\n    {\"method\": \"SetFrequency\", \"params\": [93200000]}\n    \nrtl_fm_streamer  --\u003e client\n     \n    {\"result\": [93200000]}\n\nPerformance\n--------------\nMono: Should run on many small devices. e.g. a Raspberry Pi 1.\nStereo: Needs a lot of more CPU power compared to mono (tested on a Raspberry Pi 2).\nOn modern PCs (x86, x64) mono and stereo decoding should be possible easily (tested with an Intel CORE i7 and an Intel CORE 2 Duo)\n\nLimitations\n--------------\n- Server accepts only one client\n\nKnown Problems\n--------------\n- Occasional segmentation faults after disconnect of a client\n\nBuilding\n-------\nTo compile rtl_fm_streamer just do the following steps (install git, cmake and libev first).\n\n    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev libev-dev\n    $ git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/rtl_fm_streamer.git\n    $ cd rtl_fm_streamer/\n    rtl_fm_streamer$ mkdir build\n    rtl_fm_streamer$ cd build\n    rtl_fm_streamer/build$ cmake ../\n    rtl_fm_streamer/build$ make\n\nSimilar Projects\n----------------\n- FM Radio receiver based upon RTL-SDR as pvr addon for KODI\n  - http://esmasol.de/open-source/kodi-add-on-s/fm-radio-receiver/\n  - https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6174\n  - https://github.com/AlwinEsch/pvr.rtl.radiofm\n- rtl_fm\n  - This tool is the base of rtl_fm_streamer\n  - http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr\n- sdr-j-fmreceiver\n  - http://www.sdr-j.tk/index.html\n- GPRX\n  - http://gqrx.dk\n\nSupport\n-------\nOpenELEC thread: http://openelec.tv/forum/126-3rd-party/75537-fm-radio-receiver-for-kodi-for-the-raspberry-pi-1\nraspberrypi.org thread: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38\u0026t=122372\n\nWrite me an e-mail: Albrecht \u003calbrechtloh@gmx.de\u003e\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtl_fm_streamer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtl_fm_streamer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtl_fm_streamer/lists"}
