FM radio support
« on: May 03, 2005, 02:47:36 pm »
I would like support for listening to FM/AM Radio in MC. I've got a WinFast/Leadtek card that has a TV tuner and a FM tuner at the TV tuner works great with MC but I have to use a separate application for listening and recording FM radio.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it -- it is nice to get all those bugs fixed), they are concentrating on finalizing MC11 for release and aren't adding new features right now, so it'd be best to ask for this again when they start on v12.

That being said... I'd love to have this feature for use with my ATI AIW card too!

Jim gave my same request thumbs down some weeks ago. I found Axife FM since then but would prefer to have it all in MC.

Actually, he answered your question with a firm "No", but your question was not "Will MC ever support FM Radio?", it was "Does MC support FM Radio using my card?".

A slight difference perhaps, but enough to give me hope for v12 if enough other users would like to see it!  (Jim seems to be a pretty reasonable guy after all).

I remember it has been requested at least since the development cycle of version 10, and it hasn't happened yet, so don't hold your breath...  ;)

How well does Axife interface with something like NetRemote and/or Girder?  I'd like to be able to control the selection of station from something like an IR input (usbuirt) from a Russound CAV6.6-based UNO wall keypad.

Axife integrates very nicely with girder and nr because it can be completely command line controlled. That was the main reason why I bought it. The radio skin is ...somewhat Russian kitsch...but I never use it. If you want to, Axife stays completely in the background, just an icon shows that it is on. That's what I do. Radio stations are selected in nr with and interface in girder which brings up the right station logo. Very nice indeed!

A nice add-on feature of Axife is the permanent time shift using only main memory and not the hdd. So if you hear something which you want to record, you can go back in time two or more minutes... 8)
