Usage

Authenticate

There are two authentication options

• Enter your username and password directly into di-tui with the --username and --password switches
• If you're justifiably uncomfortable with entering your username/password into this application, copy your "Listen Key" from (https://www.di.fm/settings) and create the following file:

~/.config/di-tui/config.yml

token: <YOUR LISTEN KEY>
album_art: <BOOLEAN>

key	description
token	string Your di.fm authentication "Listen Key" found at https://www.di.fm/settings
album_art	boolean Enable/disable album ASCII art

Choose a network

DI.fm is the default network, but other audio addict networks can be chosen with the --network switch.

switch value	network
classicalradio	Classical Radio https://classicalradio.com
di	DI.fm https://di.fm
radiotunes	Radio Tunes https://radiotunes.com
rockradio	Rock Radio https://rockradio.com
jazzradio	Jazz Radio https://jazzradio.com
zenradio	Zen Radio https://zenradio.com

Favorites

Favorites must be edited on the web player (e.g. at DI.fm) and cannot be edited via this app. It used to be possible to edit favorites from this app, but DI.fm introduced limitations on their API.

Dependencies

PulseAudio

Both linux and MacOS depend on pulseaudio to be running.

MacOS

By default, pulseaudio on MacOS runs as "root", which is not ideal. PulseAudio is best run by non-root users. By symbolically linking the pulseaudio plist file into your user's ~/Library/LaunchAgents/, it runs as your user.

brew install pulseaudio
ln -s $(brew info pulseaudio | grep "/usr/local/Cellar" | awk '{print $1}')//homebrew.mxcl.pulseaudio.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
brew services start pulseaudio

Debian / Ubuntu

apt install pulseaudio

MPRIS/D-bus support

MPRIS is a D-Bus specification allowing media players to be controlled in a standardized way, e.g. with playerctl.

di-tui supports a very limited set of MPRIS commands. The limited set is due to the fact that di-tui is a streaming audio player, and it doesn't make sense to support next, previous, seek, etc., because audio streams have no next or previous track; or the ability to seek forward.

Supported MPRIS commands

play-pause Toggles Play/Pause, e.g. playerctl --player=di-tui play-pause toggles play/pause on di-tui if it's the active player

Supported MPRIS metadata

track The currently playing track

artist The currently playing artist

status The status of the player, e.g. playing, paused, stopped

playerName The name of the player: di-tui

Configuration

Themes

By default, di-tui respects your terminal's color scheme. However, there are four color settings that one can change by adding a theme to config.yml.

Tomorrow-Night inspired theme

theme:
  primary_color: "#81a2be"
  background_color: "#2a1f1a"
  primary_text_color: "#969896"
  secondary_text_color: "#81a2be"
