Poor Developer's BBC Radio Terminal Player

Here there is a list of radio names with web stream addresses and an autocomplete snippet for bash to play streams with your favourite player, mine is mplayer.

Here the snippet for your .bashrc file:

bbc_radio_player() {
    file="$HOME/.radios.md"
    RADIOS=""
    while IFS= read -r line
    do
        # display $line or do somthing with $line
        LINE=${line%%http*}
        if [[ ${LINE//[ ]/_} == $1 ]]
        then
            RADIO=(${line});
            RADIO=${RADIO[-1]};
        fi
    done <"$file"
    mplayer ${RADIO}
}

_list_radios(){
    file="$HOME/.radios.md"
    RADIOS=""
    while IFS= read -r line
    do
        # display $line or do somthing with $line
        LINE=${line%%http*}
        if [[ ! -z ${LINE} ]] && [[ ! ${LINE} == \#* ]]
        then
            RADIOS="$RADIOS ${LINE//[ ]/_}";
        fi
    done <"$file"
    local cur
    COMPREPLY=()
    cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}

    COMPREPLY=($( compgen -W "$RADIOS" -- $cur ) )
}

complete -F _list_radios bbc_radio_player

And this is the list of radios that I’ve found on a web site 1. Save this file as .radios.md in your home directory. If you prefer another path, do not forget modify relevant lines in snippet above.
