LocalRadio Test Release v1.20-alpha
Pre-release
October 13, 2019 - LocalRadio Test Release v1.20-alpha
📻 LocalRadio is "Radio for Cord-Cutters" – a Software-Defined Radio app for your Mac and mobile devices. With an inexpensive RTL-SDR device plugged into the Mac's USB port, LocalRadio provides a casual listening experience for your favorite local FM broadcasts, free music, news, sports, weather, public safety and aviation scanner monitoring, etc.
This release is compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina. It fixes a Catalina problem with the embedded "sox" tool by changing the build settings from 32-bit to 64-bit mode.
A "Share" button has been added to the user interface. This allows the Mac to quickly send the LocalRadio URL to iOS devices via AirDrop.
The encrypted HTTPS option is removed from the user interface for now. The encrypted audio stream is not working for clients using the latest releases of macOS and iOS.
This release requires macOS 10.14 Mojave or later, and an inexpensive RTL-SDR USB device for radio reception.
For versions of macOS earlier than 10.14 Mojave, please see release v1.18 for a legacy version of LocalRadio.
Many compatible RTL-SDR devices are available from online sellers. We recommend the RTL-SDR v3 device, available at Amazon.com.
This software not been independently tested, and should be treated as "pre-release software". You might want to wait until the initial bug reports are addressed and documentation is available.
