  1. larigira
  2. =========
  3. A radio automation based on MPD. Larigira will sit right to your mpd player and
  4. will keep your playlist never empty. It will also manage a db of "events", so
  5. that you can schedule shows, play jingles every X minutes, etc.
  6. Software stack
  7. ---------------
  8. * MPD, of course
  9. * python2
  10. * gevent as an async framework
  11. * flask to provide web interface and rpc
  12. * celery for task dispatching
  13. * ejdb as an embedded database
  14. Why? (aka design features)
  15. -----
  16. Reinventing a player is a bad idea. MPD provides an eccellent base.
  17. Separating the player from "action loops" makes it easy to work on this. For
  18. example, you can stop larigira for some minutes, and the audio will keep
  19. playing. Also, you can replace it.
  20. The "continous playing" part needs to be separated from the "events" part.
  21. `larigira` can be run to perform one, the other, or both the duties.
  22. The "audio generation" part can be used separately by any script that you like.
  23. Installation
  24. -------------
  25. Just run `python setup.py install`. It will, of course, also work in a
  26. virtualenv.
  27. The name
