Internet Radio plugin for XFCE

Is there any internet radio plugin compatible with XFCE's panels?

I'm looking for a replacement for the Radio++ plugin for the Cinnamon DE ( https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/297 ), it uses moc to play any Internet audio stream.

Thank you

Hi cookiemonster and welcome.

I recently installed Radio Tray to help a user with something they had an issue with. It ran from my Xfce panel with no issues whatsoever that I could see. Unfortunately I uninstalled it once the user's issue was fixed, so I have no idea what capabilities it has.

Here's a recent overview of radio apps for Linux, it mentions Radio Tray and other options.

Good luck, please tell us about your results!

Try radiotray-ng: https://github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng

Conceptually, based on radiotray, but I think it's GTK3.

Simple, and you can write scripts to control it via dbus. I love it.

yradio was written by one of our members. Has a notification area plugin that you can control the app with. It's all written in bash and is easy to install and run.

Also works great.
