The official website can be found at [https://anytimeplayer.app](https://anytimeplayer.app)

I would really appreciate all feedback - positive and negative - as it both helps improve Anytime
and prioritise new features. You can reach me
at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

#### Building from source

If you do not already have the Flutter SDK installed, follow the instructions from the
Flutter site [here](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install).

Fetch the latest from master:

```
git clone https://github.com/amugofjava/anytime_podcast_player.git
```

From the anytime_podcast_player directory fetch the dependencies:

```
flutter packages get
```

Then either run:

```
flutter run
```

Or build:

```
flutter build apk
```

#### Search Engines

Anytime can search for podcasts via iTunes and PodcastIndex. To use PodcastIndex, first create
an account at [https://podcastindex.org](https://podcastindex.org). This will generate the required
key
and secret. To enable searching with PodcastIndex in AnyTime, pass the key and secret as runtime
arguments:

```
flutter run --dart-define=PINDEX_KEY=mykey --dart-define=PINDEX_SECRET=mysecret
```

If running from Android Studio, add the following to the command line arguments section:

```
-t lib/main.dart --dart-define=PINDEX_KEY=mykey --dart-define=PINDEX_SECRET=mysecret
```

Ensure there are is only a single space between each argument. I have found that an additional space
between any
of the arguments will prevent them from being passed into Flutter correctly.

## Open with Anytime links

Anytime supports deep linking from websites, allowing you to open a podcast within Anytime from a
web url. To open a feed
within Anytime, you create a link to the Anytime website passing in the URL of the feed you
wish to open. For example: to load a feed in Anytime from www.example.com you would use the
following link:

https://anytimeplayer.app/subscribe?url=www.example.com/myfeed.xml

## Built With

Anytime makes use of several amazing packages available on [pub.dev](https://pub.dev). Below is a
list of the packages that
are heavily used within the application.

* [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/) - SDK.
* [Sembast](https://pub.dev/packages/sembast) - NoSQL persistent store.
* [RxDart](https://pub.dev/packages/rxdart) - adds additional capabilities to Dart Streams and
StreamControllers.
* [Audio Service](https://pub.dev/packages/audio_service) - Provides background support for audio
playback.
* [Podcast Search](https://pub.dev/packages/podcast_search) - Provides podcast search and parsing.

## Architecture

![architecture.png](docs/architecture_small.png)

Anytime takes a layered approach:

* UI - The UI presented to the users. Currently this is mobile, but could be extended to web and/or
desktop in the future.
* BLoC - Handles the state for the UI. Communication between the UI and BLoC is entirely via Sinks
and Streams.
* Services - Interacts with the API and Repository to provide data handling routines to the BLoCs
and other services.
* API - Interacts with the iTunes API (via a package) to fetch and parse podcast data.
* Repository - Provides persistent storage.
