Enhanced pianobar for macOS
================
This is rolle's awesome fork of pianobar settings for macOS.
With pianobar-macos you can achieve a working Command Line Interface music player that plays radio from [Pandora](https://www.pandora.com), scrobbles songs to [Last.fm](http://www.last.fm) and more. All this with CLI!
## Features
- Always connects to Pandora regardless of country (SOCKS5 and Tor)
- Notifies songs played with pianobar
- Loved songs in Pandora are automatically Loved songs in Last.fm when marked loved `+` key
- Displays currently playing album art in notification
- Scrobbles playing songs to Last.fm in real time and permanently when played 50% of the song
- Displays info about changing stations, displays station name in notification
## Installation
1. [terminal-notifier](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier) - Send User Notifications on macOS 10.8 and later from the command-line:
```bash
brew install terminal-notifier
```
2. Python3
```bash
brew install python3
```
3. [pylast](https://github.com/pylast/pylast)
**important:** You will need the latest version, install with:
```bash
pip3 install pylast
```
4. pync
```bash
pip3 install pync
```
5. [pianobar](https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar) - pianobar is a free/open-source, console-based client for the personalized online radio Pandora.
```bash
brew install pianobar
```
6. Tor
```bash
brew install tor
```
7. [pianobarproxy](https://github.com/robertkrimen/pianobarproxy/pull/2#issuecomment-853703139)
```bash
go install github.com/brendanhoran/pianobarproxy@latest
```
8. Add tor config with `sudo nano /opt/homebrew/etc/tor/torrc`:
```ini
ExitNodes {us} StrictNodes 1
CircuitBuildTimeout 5
NumEntryGuards 6
KeepalivePeriod 60
NewCircuitPeriod 15
SOCKSPort 9050
RunAsDaemon 0
```
## Usage
1. Install requirements (steps above)
2. Clone this repo and move everything to `~/.config/pianobar`:
```bash
cd $HOME; git clone https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/pianobar-macos; cd pianobar-macos; mkdir -p $HOME/.config/pianobar; cp -Rv $HOME/pianobar-macos/* $HOME/.config/pianobar/; rm -rf $HOME/pianobar-macos
```
3. Edit:
```bash
nano $HOME/.config/pianobar/config
```
Add following:
```ini
user = yourusername@gmail.com
password = YourVeryHardPassWordForPandora
event_command = /Users/rolle/.config/pianobar/events.py
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:9090
```
4. Rename `events.py.sample` to `events.py`:
```bash
mv $HOME/.config/pianobar/events.py.sample $HOME/.config/pianobar/events.py
```
5. Edit `events.py` and fill in the Last.fm variables at the top of the script.
6. Make sure everything is executable:
```bash
cd $HOME/.config/pianobar && sudo chmod +x *.py && sudo chmod +x *.sh && sudo chmod +x *.rb
```
7. Create folder for covers:
```bash
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/pianobar/.covers
```
8. Open three terminal windows and run these, tor and pianobarproxy and pianobar in their separate windows:
```bash
unset PYTHONPATH
tor
export GOPATH=/Users/rolle/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
pianobarproxy -socks5 :9050
pianobar
```
## Troubleshooting
If Last.fm happens to be down, pianobar won't load any music. You should disable `event_command` line during the downtime or wait it out.
If you don't get any notifications or scrobbles, try `which python` and change the first line from your events.py to the path, for example:
``` python
#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
```
