Volumio achieves what it set out to - I was up and running in 5 minutes, streaming albums from my Windows (eek!) server and adding all my favourite radio channels. I love the clean no fuss interface. However, what I can’t abide is a random list of radio channels. How do I sort the list of channels in Webradio?
I have:
BBC Radio 5
BBC Radio 1 Extra
BBC Radio 3
BBC Radio 4
BBC Radio 1
…
You get the picture.
Please help.
dont know exactly how volumio sorts the webradio.
try it first with renaming the files.
If this doesn´t work, try it with recreating the files in the order it should be displayed in volumio.
Hi Chaos
If you are comfortable editing the code, modify /var/lib/inc/player_lib.php
Line 617 becomes
#return array_merge($dirArray, $plistArray);
$tmp = array_merge($dirArray, $plistArray);
foreach ($tmp as $key => $row) {
$filename[$key] = $row[‘file’];
}
array_multisort($filename, SORT_ASC, $tmp);
return $tmp;
Then reboot.
Hi AussieRules
I applied succesfully your solution and is fantastic!!!
now the webradio item are sorted! WOW!!!
thanks a lot!!
Not sure if it was a typo but on my Volumio 1.55 box the file is
/var/www/inc/player_lib.phpI’m a linux-newbie, could someone explain a bit better how to do this modification?
The file to modify is /var/lib/inc/player_lib.php or /var/www/inc/player_lib.php?
Thanks.
I think AussieRules made a typo… in Volumio v1.55 its /var/www/inc/player_lib.php 
Here’s my pre-edited file, (its from Volumio v1.55). Save a copy of the original (eg rename it player_lib.php.original) then unzip and copy my file to /var/www/inc/ folder.
New edited file posted further down!
this is out of date:
player_lib.zip (12.1 KB)
Thank you Sog Sussex for the file: it works well with my B+ and Volumio 1.55 
Also many thanks! Works excellent!
Thanks from here, too! I hate unsorted lists 
Unfortunately this fix also messes up the playlist queue 
I will post back when I’ve sussed a fix 
…
UPDATE
ok, heres the new edits:
in /var/www/inc/player_lib.php on line 579
change
function _parseFileListResponse($resp) {to
function _parseFileListResponse($resp, $plylst) {then change line 339 from
return _parseFileListResponse($playqueue);to
return _parseFileListResponse($playqueue, 'true');if you’ve not added the earlier fix
change on line 617
return array_merge($dirArray, $plistArray);to
#return array_merge($dirArray, $plistArray);
$tmp = array_merge($dirArray, $plistArray);
if ($plylst != 'true'){
foreach ($tmp as $key => $row){
$filename[$key] = $row['file'];
}
array_multisort($filename, SORT_ASC, $tmp);
}
return $tmp;if you have applied the earlier fix edit the code to include the ‘if ($plylst != ‘true’){’ line. and then line the ‘}’ (on its own line just above ‘return $tmp;’) as shown above.
I’ll post the edited file soon…
Thanks
