rdioslave

An interfaceless Rdio client for use with Remote Control Mode.

Installation:

$ git clone https://github.com/jboning/rdioslave
$ virtualenv env
$ env/bin/pip install ./rdioslave

Usage:

$ env/bin/rdioslave

You will be prompted for your username and password the first time you run rdioslave; it will write your session to rdio_session.json in your current directory, and subsequent runs will use the stored session.

When rdioslave starts, it will take control of your Rdio session and begin playback, and you can control it from Rdio's web interface, which should indicate that it is in Remote Control Mode. rdioslave will continue running until you override it by clicking "Play here instead" (or by launching another instance of rdioslave).

Compatibility

rdioslave has only been tested on Python 2.7, but it should be compatible with Python 3 (2to3 -x future reports no problems). Compatibility with lower versions is unknown; from __future__ import with_statement might do the job.

Dependencies

  • Python packages: tornado, requests, six
  • Programs in your PATH: rtmpdump, mplayer

Caveats

  • Remote volume control is not implemented.
  • Transitions between tracks are slightly more gapful than usual.
  • When resuming from pause, rdioslave will play from the beginning of the track.
