TV Box Internet Radio Recorder (TVBIRR) is an ansible playbook to configure a X96 Air or X96 Max(+) TV box to function as an internet radio streaming and recording device that you can operate entirely with the infrared remote included with the TV box. It includes a playlist of over 21000 free-to-play internet radio stations.
TVBIRR uses music on console (moc) to stream channels and playlists, keybinder to convert the infrared remote keypresses into commands, JACK for audio playback and streams are recorded to MP3 files using jack_capture. You can see when jack_capture is recording the currently playing station because CARD is displayed on the TV box LED display. You can easily customise it to play playlists of locally stored music too. TVBIRR runs in the background leaving your TV box free to serve other tasks.
Compatible TV boxes are available online for as little as £30 and that includes the IR remote, PSU etc.

Re: TV Box Internet Radio Recorder
I added a cool new feature to TV Box Internet Radio Recorder tonight. Now it can speak the name of the currently playing track/show or tell you the name of the station you are currently listening to by using a text-to-speech program (espeak) when you push a button on the remote. Saves you having to use a screen to find out that info.
