Set Up Internet Radio on Mopidy

Browse and play your RadioPit library from a home server or Raspberry Pi.

Mopidy is an extensible music server commonly run on a Raspberry Pi or home server, controlled from clients like Iris, MPDroid or ncmpcpp. Mopidy-RadioPit is an extension that exposes your RadioPit playlists and stations as browsable folders inside any of those clients.

Steps

Get your RadioPit account key. Open the ⋮ menu in RadioPit's header and click "Copy Account Key" (or copy it from the box shown when you first created your account).
Install the extension on the machine running Mopidy:
```
pip install Mopidy-RadioPit
```
On newer Raspberry Pi OS / Debian systems where pip refuses to install system-wide, use:
```
sudo python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages mopidy-radiopit
```

Add a [radiopit] section to mopidy.conf, using the account key from step 1:

[radiopit]
enabled = true
api_key = YOUR_ACCOUNT_KEY_HERE
api_url = https://api.radiopit.fm

Restart Mopidy (sudo systemctl restart mopidy if it's running as a service).
Browse to RadioPit in any Mopidy client — Iris, MPDroid, ncmpcpp, etc. Your playlists appear as folders, and the stations inside each one are ready to play.

Requirements

Python 3.9 or newer
Mopidy 3.0 or newer
Pykka 2.0+ and requests 2.0+ (installed automatically as dependencies)

Mopidy 4 compatibility is unconfirmed as of this writing — the extension is actively maintained but the Mopidy 4 upgrade path hasn't been widely tested yet. If you're on Mopidy 3.x this doesn't affect you.

For troubleshooting or to report an issue, see the extension's repository or its listing on mopidy.com/ext/radiopit.
