DMCRadio is a console program designed for radio tuner cards that are supported by the Video4Linux system. It is a ncurses-based software that can only be used with a radio-card or a tv-card with a radio-tuner. In order to run DMCRadio, you should have a kernel that has Video4Linux support along with the ncurses-package.
Installing DMCRadio is quite easy as it only involves 5 simple steps. First, you need to untar the source archive, then configure it by running the ./configure command. The next step is to make the software followed by making an installation with the make install command. Ensure that everyone can access your radiodevice, which is usually located at /dev/radio.
The latest version release of DMCRadio brings several enhancements that make it even more user-friendly. The software now exhibits different behaviours with different terminal sizes. When the size is smaller than 80x24, the program will refuse to start, whereas with an 80x24 size, it will not show the scroller and will not start a scrollthread. For an 80x25 size and greater than 80x25, the program will show a normal view and center, respectively.
The new release also evaluates the autoconf's PREFIX-variable, which expects the fonts in $PREFIX/share/DMCRadio/. Even though the default is still /usr/local/share/DMCRadio/, the fonts are now included. Furthermore, the "make install" feature now installs the fonts in $PREFIX/share/DMCRadio. The developers have also added a "debian"-directory that allows users to build Debian-packages with "dpkg-buildpackage" after applying the patch (diff). Finally, the headers have been updated with standard header define stuff.
Overall, DMCRadio is a reliable and easy-to-use software for anyone looking to use their radio card efficiently. Its simple installation steps and regular updates make it a top choice among radio tuner card users.
