# Phoenix10.1
[](https://coveralls.io/github/pncnmnp/phoenix10.1?branch=master)
Phoenix10.1 is a software to generate personalized pre-recorded internet radios that has a text-to-speech based radio jockey.
# Here's a demo to understand what it sounds like!
[](https://soundcloud.com/parthparikh1999p/demo-of-phoenix101)
# What can it do?
This radio jockey is capable of playing your favorite songs, including tracks from your preferred artist, genre, or Billboard chart. It can automatically discover and play fascinating clips from your preferred podcasts, provide weather updates, and deliver daily news.
For a more authentic radio experience, it brightens up your day with fictional company ads, conducts daily QnA with the audience, and shares
interesting "On this day..." facts.
# Installation
It is recommended to use Python 3.10 or newer to run the code.
## Quick Start
If you're using a Debian-based distribution, you can install all dependencies using `install.sh`:
```bash
sh install.sh
```
## Manual
This software requires `ffmpeg` and `espeak`. To install them on MacOS:
```bash
brew install ffmpeg espeak
```
To install them on Linux (Debain-based):
```bash
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg espeak
```
For Windows users, to setup and use `ffmpeg`, [follow this guide from Stack Exchange](https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/20495/how-do-i-set-up-and-use-ffmpeg-in-windows). Moreover, to setup `espeak`, [use this tutorial from Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17547531/how-to-use-espeak-with-python).
To install the Python dependencies, use:
```bash
pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt
```
The software also requires installing `punkt` from `nltk`.
In a Python shell, use the following code to install `punkt`:
```python
import nltk
nltk.download("punkt")
```
To generate TTS (text-to-speech), Coqui-ai's `vits` model is used.
We recommend running a generic `TTS` command on your shell as this will prompt `TTS` to automatically install the `vits` model.
```bash
tts --text "I am excited to demo Phoenix ten point one" --model_name tts_models/en/vctk/vits --speaker_idx p267 --out_path temp.wav
```
The `vits` model requires around `150 MB` of storage.
# Creating your radio broadcast
To create your own radio, start by updating the default schema in `./data/schema.json`.
Each action in `schema.json` is a list with two indices, one mentions the action and another mentions the characteristic of that action.
Actions available are:
- `up`
- routine to start the radio broadcast
- characteristic value is ignored
- `music`
- fetches and streams music
- characteristic should contain list of song names
- `local-music`
- streams music using locally stored songs
- characteristic should contain either:
- **list of paths to the audio files**
- **list of lists** of the format `[album_path, num_of_songs]`
- `music-artist`
- fetches and streams music (based on the artist names)
- characteristic should contain **list of lists** of the format `[artist_name, num_of_songs]`
- `music-genre`
- fetches and streams music (based on some specific genres)
- characteristic should contain **list of lists** of the format `[genre, num_of_songs]`
- [Here is a list of genres supported by Phoenix10.1](https://gist.github.com/pncnmnp/755341a694022c6b8679b1847922c62f).
- `music-billboard`
- fetches and streams music [from Billboard charts](https://www.billboard.com/charts/)
- characteristic should contain **list of lists** of the format `[chart_name, num_of_songs]`
- `podcast`
- fetches an interesting clip from a podcast
- characteristic should be a list of the format `[podcast_rss_link, max_clip_duration_in_mins]`
- `weather`
- broadcasts the weather
- characteristic should contain city name. Use `null` to fetch weather using your IP address.
- `news`
- broadcasts the news using rss feeds. The rss feeds can be updated in `./data/rss.json`.
- characteristic should be a list of the format `[category, num_of_news_items]`
- `fun`
- broadcasts a _On this day..._ fact
- characteristic is ignored
- `end`
- routine to end the broadcast
- characteristic is ignored
- `no-ads`
- removes fictional advertisements from the broadcast. This action should come before `up`
- characteristic value is ignored
- `no-qna`
- removes the daily QnA from the broadcast. This action should come before `up`
- characteristic value is ignored
# Run
Once `schema.json` is configured, run the software using:
```bash
python3 radio.py
```
Your entire broadcast would be stored in a `radio.mp3` file.
# TTS configuration
You can modify the voice of the radio jockey, the name of your radio station/host, and the volume of the background music by editing the `./config.json` file. To experiment with different voices, you can use Coqui-ai's `vits` model with the following command:
```bash
tts-server --model_name tts_models/en/vctk/vits
```
For advice on selecting the best voices, [check out this discussion](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/discussions/1891#discussioncomment-3457122).
The volume of the background music can be adjusted between `0.1` and `2`. A value of `0.1` will turn off the background music, while a value of `2` doubles its volume.
# Contributing
We always welcome and greatly appreciate contributions! You can contribute in various ways, like by reporting and fixing bugs or suggesting and implementing new features. To start contributing, you can either submit a pull request or open an issue.
If you're submitting a pull request, please make sure to run [`pylint`](https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint) before submitting. Although it's not mandatory, performing unit tests on your code is highly encouraged.
To run the unit tests, use this command (from the root directory):
```bash
python3 -m coverage run --omit */site-packages/* -m unittest
```
We also recommend using mutation testing with [`mutmut`](https://github.com/boxed/mutmut). To execute `mutmut`, run this command (once again from the root directory):
```bash
mutmut run --paths-to-mutate ./radio.py --tests-dir ./tests/ --runner 'python3 -m unittest'
```
Bear in mind that mutation testing is a costly means of evaluating your test suite and can take several hours. So, only use this while suggesting a major change.
