Development updates for RadioPit — web app, Android, and Mopidy integration

RadioPit Android app is live on Google Play! 🎉
Android

After submitting on March 25th and passing Google Play review, RadioPit for Android is officially live! You can download it for free right now.

The Android app gives you the full RadioPit experience on the go — log in with your account key and all your playlists and stations are right there, perfectly in sync with the web app.

Demo mode, browse directory, keyboard shortcuts & beta label removed
Web
  • Demo mode — try RadioPit without creating an account. Click Try Demo on the home page and start adding stations right away. Stations are stored in your browser session and cleared when you close the tab. When you create a real account, any stations you added in demo mode are automatically transferred — default starter stations are not duplicated.
  • Browse directory — the Add Station dialog now has a dedicated Browse tab alongside Search and Manual. Browse the full radio-browser.info catalog by Genre, Country, or Language. Each category shows station counts and drills down to a ranked list of stations. A Load more button at the bottom of any result list fetches the next 50 stations — no hard cap on results.
  • Pagination for search results — the Search tab now also uses Load more instead of a fixed 50-station limit.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — full shortcut set for power users:
    • Space — play / pause
    • S — stop
    • N / P — next / previous station
    • ↑ / ↓ — volume up / down 5%
    • M — mute / unmute
    • / — focus search
    • A — open add station dialog
    • ? — show keyboard shortcuts help
    • Esc — close modal
  • Beta label removed from the app header — RadioPit is stable and ready.

  • Proxy activity logging added to help diagnose stream issues.
About page & Privacy Policy
Web
  • Full About & FAQ page added with answers to common questions.

Radio Nemiers added as starter station

Visualizer, sleep timer, HLS, PWA
Web
  • Audio spectrum visualizer — three modes: bars, smooth line, or off. Click the visualizer to cycle through them.
  • Sleep timer — automatically stops playback after 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
  • Stream quality badge — the player bar shows codec and bitrate once the stream connects.
  • HLS stream support — .m3u8 streams are now handled client-side via hls.js, with no server proxy needed.
  • Audio proxy improvements — full ICY/SHOUTcast protocol support, M3U/PLS playlist resolution, stream fan-out so one upstream connection serves multiple listeners.
  • PWA support — RadioPit can now be installed as a standalone app on desktop and mobile.
Station directory search & now-playing titles
Web Backend
  • Station search — search 40 000+ stations from the radio-browser.info community directory. Filter by name, genre, country, and language, or browse Top 50 by listeners.
  • Now-playing song titles — live track names fetched from ICY/SHOUTcast stream metadata and shown in the player bar.
  • Account API: key generation and validation endpoints.
Initial launch — web app, playlist sharing, Mopidy
Web Android Mopidy Backend
  • Web app launched: add stream URLs, organise into playlists, drag-to-reorder, play in the browser.
  • Account system using UUID keys — no email or password required.
  • Playlist sharing — make any playlist public, share the link, and others can import it into their own account.
  • Streams delivered through RadioPit's own servers — works on networks that block radio streams directly.
  • Android app development started; syncs with the web app via the same account key.
🎶 Mopidy plugin available
