September 9, 2018 - LocalRadio Test Release v1.17-alpha
📻 LocalRadio 📻 is open-source software for listening to "Software-Defined Radio" on your Mac and mobile devices. With an inexpensive RTL-SDR device plugged into the Mac's USB port, LocalRadio provides a casual listening experience for your favorite local FM broadcasts, free music, news, sports, weather, public safety and aviation scanner monitoring, etc.
This release features improved performance for older, slower Macs, and various bug fixes.
An experimental new feature supports Custom Tasks, which can be configured and stored in the database, ready to be executed as NSTask objects for use as an audio source. The available Custom Tasks can be selected in the web user interface on the Devices page. The configuration window allows direct setting of the parameters for bundled SDR tools like rtl_fm_localradio. Or, a Custom Task using the netcat tool can acquire audio from Gqrx via UDP port 7355. Or, SoX can be used with a Core Audio input device as a Custom Task audio source. External SDR tools can be compiled and accessed if they are code-signed with the same credentials as the main LocalRadio app, with inherited entitlements, and produce 16-bit LPCM audio data with one or two channels at a known sample rate through stdout.
LocalRadio requires macOS 10.11 or later, and an inexpensive RTL-SDR USB device for radio reception. For more information, see https://github.com/dsward2/LocalRadio
This software not been independently tested, and should be treated as "pre-release software". You might want to wait until the initial bug reports are addressed and documentation is available.
