Hi everyone,
When I was first planning my build(shopping) I ran across this usb dongle thing that said it could receive FM radio, I thought 20 bucks plug and play what could go wrong right? Later to find out there was no practical use for it. From my reading, I'm not the only one, huh.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to dig into it further. It's been a big learning curve for me What's this rtl-sdr stuff? I found some interesting stuff and got my dongle working, streaming to my desktop from my car . I've done a bit of Python programming(shade tree) but never much GUI stuff. But I was inspired.
With that said, I was able to put together a front end GUI player and I just released the code on Github> RTL SDR FM Player
I have not yet* been able to launch this from OAP that's still a work in progress.
I welcome anyone who would like to contribute to this project! It needs some polish.
Here's a crappy screenshot.
My model 3B+ shows ~30-40% CPU usage when playing stereo, not too bad IMO.
Thanks for any feedback.
