FM Radio
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Application that reproduces audio using FM Radio capabilities of the mobile device. Apart form listening to radio, the application may offer:

  • Switching beween headphones and speaker
  • Radio station searching/tuning
  • Add radio stations to favorites
  • Recording

Knowledge Requirements: Linux, Qt, QML, Plasma

System Requirements: This task will require access to actual device running Plasma Mobile.

We should consider using Radio QML Type since it seems that it fits our needs.

I started writing the application some month ago, but I'm not sure whether FM Radio even works with the currently supported devices.
Just in case anyone wants to test it, the source code is here: https://gitlab.com/JBBgameich/fm-radio

The existing radio functionality of Qt seems to be deprecated since https://github.com/qt/qtmultimedia/commit/f1648c837b606cbb62972aa98e373ac839883872

Maybe we should create an internet radio app instead

@cahfofpai We could probably flatpak https://open-store.io/app/flas.cibersheep, it doesn't seem to use compiled code or anything special.
