Other Features
There’s a choice of light and dark themes, and an option to opt out of tracking. The tracking sends a click/vote count to radio-browser.info when you listen to a station or when you star a station. Nothing sinister in that, but we welcome the ability to turn off tracking.
One useful feature is the program’s ability to watch various TV stations. In the image below, we’re watching a Slovakian station.

Are any TV stations included or do you have to add IPTV m3u list .. love the blog on the G2 by the way ,bought one myself ( i5-6500T) and very pleased with its performance running Linux mint ?
Tuner taps into the wonderful radio-browser.info catalog. This catalog includes some TV streams, so I didn’t need to add the channels manually.
I’m enjoying writing the blog on the HP EliteDesk 800 G2. What are you using it for?
Tuner doesn’t show up in my Ubuntu Budgie launcher! (*SIGH!*)
You can change the station order and edit the favorites list by editing a json file. If you installed Tuner via Flatpak, it’s at ~/.var/app/com.github.louis77.tuner/data/com.github.louis77.tuner
Pretty lame you have to edit a json file to do something so obvious.
I never knew about Tuner. Thanks so much!
Tuner is actually very good. An undiscovered gem!
Tuner now shows codec and bitrate for each station.
I am glad I searched and discovered Tuner nice nice I prefer it over shortwave!
On Ubuntu 22.10, I had to install geocode-glib.git and do ‘sudo apt install gtk-doc-tools’ for that.
Wordeful tool. Just one question: Can you export your favorites and reimport them on an other device?
I have an error:
WARNING: CMake Toolchain: Failed to determine CMake compilers state
Run-time dependency geocode-glib-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
what i have to do???
Thank you
Run-time dependency geocode-glib-1.0 found: NO
