V/a/lentine's Stream & New Site exci

V/a/lentine's Stream:

Valentine's Day is on the 14th of February, and our resident geese are doing a Valentine's stream like usual. Ojiisan is going to start off at 1PM EST (6PM GMT), handing over the stream to Claud at 5PM EST (10PM GMT) or so. Put that on your calendars so you know when to avoid listening in.


New Site:

Now that we got the stuff nobody cares about out of the way, there will be some site downtime this Thursday (6th of February, in 2 days). Hopefully this means something like 10 minutes at most, but we're very good at this so no guarantees.

We've (mostly Wessie, but you can also blame me for bad design and to a lesser extent Vin and kipu for some minor things) been working hard/hardly working on a new site for a while now. I say new site, but it's really our entire software stack redone from the ground up. The current (or possibly the previous, if you're reading this after the change) site is already 12 years old with no major changes in the last half a decade, so it's about time we did something about that.

So, what's the difference between the old and the new site for the listener anyway? Honestly, right now, not much. The design is intentionally similar to the old one because everyone hates change and we've mostly been focusing on implementing everything that's already on the old site (or everything we intend to keep, at least). That being the case, here's a few new things I can think of that are already there:

  • last played page shows the DJ in addition to the song that was played
  • the site should tell you if there's connection problems between you and the server
  • some search stuff is a bit different

The majority of the actual new features have been implemented on the dj/staff side of the site and should hopefully make running things a little less painful, such as:

  • those with the permission to do so can remove things from the queue (and should do so if it's obvious someone is abusing proxies, but not for any other reason)
  • editing the schedule is now much less painful and DJs should be able to edit their own schedule text
  • for those with guest DJing experience: Kethsar's script features have been integrated into Hanyuu and the site

There's other stuff aside from these, but most of it is in the backend side so not really worth listing here. The most significant thing here is that we will probably be somewhat actively developing new stuff for the site as ideas come up. If you're familiar with Go and want to help, want to make a theme for the new site or have a complaint/suggestion, you can head over to the repo and hit up Wessie and/or exci on the IRC and ask about helping out. It's pretty easy to set up a local development version of the entire stack if you're familiar with the concept of containers (or it would be if Wessie made the dev environment repository public at least).

the search stream interruption issue is now fixed, instead the "thank you for requesting" box is now broken

The plus thing is known, it's intended but a lot of people don't like it.

The other thing is new. I'd test it but a DJ is streaming right now so I can't.

Tested it and apparently if you wait a few more seconds after requesting then the stream doesn’t get cut. (At least for me)

I noticed that when I type in a song name or keyword, go to the search page, request the song AND THEN click anywhere (back to the homepage or queue or whatever), the stream stops playing. This isn't the case when I enter the song name and request the song from the search bar.
Besides that, the thing missing from the previous version is the tags showing up every time after clicking on them once. Now you'd have to click on the + every time a song that has tags plays

Searching has been improved a bit now. We still don't have more advanced search features yet like quotation marks or other stuff, but it should be better than before.

Anonymous (7db1) #4605

Perhaps a strange regression that's really tickling my 'tism is that playing from foobar2k (through https://relay0.r-a-d.io/main.mp3) names the stream as "main" when you stop playing instead of "r/a/dio" like it used to. Would be nice if you could fix this cause a lot of internet radios don't properly name their shit making it really hard to differentiate between them.

The site background is now a bright white on desktop no matter if you choose dark or light theme. Not a problem on mobile tho. When you switch between themes only the boxes of text change color...

Only 14", high DPI, ThinkPad X1 Tablet with 3000×2000 display.
The issue will probably be the same on other devices with high DPI (e.g. Apple, MS Surface laptops and tablets).
Maybe using @media (min/max-resolution:…) feature would be the solution?

I don't believe that was ever a feature, but it's certainly something that is possible to implement if someone wants to work on it.

Would only work for Hanyuu-sama songs though since we don't know what was a request or not when a dj is streaming

possible, and was planned in an extended search kinda deal but wasn't implemented before launch.

>>4587
this is now implemented, the literal '*' will give you all results in our special search priority order (which might not be the same as before)

The Android app problems seems resolved now. Thank you for ironing this out!

The new site looks great, not much change on the outside but it does feel somehow more modern.

You even added the http-to-https redirection that was missing during all these years. No more accidental HTTP connection to r/a/dio! Very nice.

Thanks all for your hard work!

Pretty nice stuff, and the intent to keep things looking like the old site is really appreciated. No sense fixing what isn't broke in that regard.
Something I thought I saw a couple years ago was songs in the "Last Played" on the site and in the android app were blue if they were requests, but I might be hallucinating that.
Is it possible to implement that idea(again if it actually happened)? It's just a fun little thing to see what songs were hanyuu and what were requested.

The site on mobile now looks like desktop. It’s usable, everything works fine so far, but even at 200% scaling some buttons are smaller than before, less comfortable. Also the last played and upcoming songs being side by side as opposed to above and below means that at 200% scale the words are squished to unreadability. No other issues :)

can we get a toggle for the tags? they were always there once you clicked on them but now they reset after each song

Anonymous (b7a1) #4587

Speaking of search is there no way to purposely just click through database pages til I see a song I want to hear? Like the old behavior when you just typed '*'

Anonymous (f2bd) #4584

Searching could go back to being a bit stricter, I think. Simpler searches like emon or Ado are pulling 13+ pages of results.

Yup, I have scaling set in windows settings for 125% since everything looks more readable that way, but when I checked 100% it looks normal. Alternatively, zooming out in browser is fine too.

stuff being a bit bigger is intentional, but the font might change since there have been complaints about that

the app developer is separate from the site developers so it may take a bit for him to update stuff

not sure what to say except that it's designed for 100% scaling, i'm guessing you have an xboxhuge screen or something

the 'new' player is very much based on the old one so it should behave similarly, but if it does end up being broken do report it so we can try and fix it.

You can also try it on the https://beta.r-a-d.io/ website if you want

What I love about the current site is that I can play music in the background on my iphone. Even if I switch tabs or even open a different app it just keeps playing. If that breaks I’ll probably reduce my usage by 95%. Here’s hoping everything works out.
