### Key features

* Runs on a Linux system tray.

* Has minimum interface possible.

* Plays most media formats (it uses gstreamer).

* Supports PLS, M3U, ASX, RAM, XSPF playlists.

### Build

For a while this project is only tested on Ubuntu (14.04 and 16.04 versions). In order to build it you need to have

installed `-dev` versions of the following packages:

* `libgtkmm-3.0`

* `libgstreamermm-0.10-2` or `libgstreamermm-1.0`

* `libcurl3`

* `libnotify4`

* `libappindicator3`

* `libmagic`

To compile program run following (with obvious amendments) commands from build directory:

* `$ cmake /path/to/radiotray-lite/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/`

* `$ make`

* `$ cpack -G DEB` to create package in `.deb` format or `$ cpack -G RPM` to create package in `.rpm` format.

Package will be created in the `packages` folder of the build directory.

### Configuration

#### Bookmarks

Copy your existing `bookmarks.xml` from [Radio Tray](http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/) (which is usually located at

`$HOME/.local/share/radiotray/bookmarks.xml`) into `$HOME/.config/radiotray-lite/` directory.

#### Options

Configuration file is located in the same directory as bookmarks file. It has simple XML format and following options are supported:

* `last_station` -- name of the last played station. Automatically updated, you don't need to change it.

* `buffer_size` -- size of the internal gstreamer's buffer.

* `buffer_duration` -- number of seconds to buffer.

* `url_timeout` -- timeout in seconds for fetching playlist.

* `notifications` -- if set to `false` disables desktop notification messages. Default is `true`.
