Because I had trouble with SWYH (works only as a webradio, “push streaming” does not work) I wrote my own version, quite basic, but fast, no memory leak, standalone exe, simple UI, written entirely in Rust.
If you want to give it a go: https://github.com/dheijl/swyh-rs/releases. Feedback welcome.
Well done! Really eager to give it a go!
FWIW: works on Linux too (tested on Ubuntu).
On Ubuntu ??? with wine ?
You can build it from source on Ubuntu or you can install the native Ubuntu binary from the previous release. I did not upload the latest release binary for Ubuntu, as I did not realize there was any interest, but I will add a new Ubuntu binary with the latest release tomorrow.
No Wine needed.
The Ubuntu 20.04 / Mint 20.01 binary:
https://github.com/dheijl/swyh-rs/releases/download/1.3.14/swyh-rs-Ubuntu.zip
I’ve not heard of SWYH before as a general concept. Interesting idea.
Thank you very much,
but i am very new to Linux/Ubuntu , how do i install it ?
You unzip it anywhere you want, using a file manager (or shell). For instance you could create a subdirectory in your home directory and put the executable and icon there.
The icon file (n128.png) in the zip file can be used in a desktop shortcut in case you want to create a “starter/launcher” on the desktop.
had to reboot before it start to run
1- In the beginning I had started experimenting with “Pulseaudio” on Ubuntu, but I was unable to establish a connection. The “SWYH” would be perfect. Thanks to your effort I managed to finally install it, but now it keeps indicating its audio source as “Pulseaudio”, but I have already removed it. so I still get no sound. not even after a reboot.
2- At first I tried to install swyh via “wine” on ubuntu. But this didn’t work. Since I had installed your version in the meantime, I wanted to remove the windows version. it now appears that the 2 versions are gone.
3- should there be an extra plugin for Volumio?
Alvast bedankt.
I would advise you to use pulse, but you have to enable audio capture in pavucontrol (pulse audio volume control, if you don’t have it installed yet: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol):
Also don’t forget that you have to open some incoming firewall ports:
-5901 for HTTP streaming
-1900 for SSDP
This are my personal firewall rules (most of them not swyh-rs related):
~ sudo ufw status
