requirements

• Windows: No additional requirements (self-contained)
• macOS: No additional requirements (self-contained)
• Linux: Install libVLC: sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev vlc (Ubuntu/Debian) or equivalent
• Discord Desktop Application (for Rich Presence functionality)

Note: Self-contained builds include .NET 10 runtime, so no separate .NET installation needed.

why

just wanted an unobtrusive, low memory alternative to listen to these radio stations on my PC that would also update my discord status.

under the hood

• using LibVLCSharp to listen to the AAC+ streams available at here
• listening to the respective station api that ABC provides for free https://music.abcradio.net.au/api/v1/plays/triplej/now.json?tz=Australia%2FSydney
• parsing the json response with System.Net.Http.Json
• updating the discord status with DiscordRichPresence
• making the cli pretty with Spectre.Console

Manual Installation

check releases

cross-platform support

jaybird now supports Windows (x64/x86/ARM64), macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), and Linux (x64)!

Linux users: you need to install LibVLC first:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install -y libvlc-dev vlc

# Fedora/RHEL
sudo dnf install -y vlc vlc-devel

# Arch
sudo pacman -S vlc

MacOS users: the app is unsigned so you have to allow it in the security & privacy settings a few times. Should be fine for subsequent runs.

check releases for platform-specific builds.

wanna help?
