Stations sort/list

Open rocketinventor opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hi @numberoverzero, I remember seeing a discussion somewhere about how to sort through the stations' list — I have been working on this issue, myself.

Almost all of the "stations" that are returned by brain ls have id, parent_id, and display_order tags that make it possible to sort and organize the stations (the same as the website).

This can be done automatically, by starting at 0 and recursively finding the children.

However, this method will leave many orphaned stations. This issue can be solved if you know the ids for the Station Categories...

I found them hardcoded into the app.bundle.js code:

var QUICK_RELAX = exports.QUICK_RELAX = 253;
var MEDITATE = exports.MEDITATE = 99;
var FOCUS = exports.FOCUS = 35;
var SLEEP = exports.SLEEP = 192;
var RECHARGE = exports.RECHARGE = 147;

and

var EXPLORE_FOCUS_ID = exports.EXPLORE_FOCUS_ID = 48;
var EXPLORE_RELAX_ID = exports.EXPLORE_RELAX_ID = 47;
var EXPLORE_SLEEP_ID = exports.EXPLORE_SLEEP_ID = 49;

I made a program to sort through all of the channels and build a tree from them.

Here is the output:

It's worth noting that "stations" which are lacking a duration option will still allow you to make tokens, but the tokens will give a 404 when turned into a URL (using the make_stream_url function).

It should not be too difficult to add a categories and substations parameter to the CLI.

i.e.

$ brain browse lists
Home
Explore

$ brain browse Explore

Focus | 48
Relax | 47
Sleep | 49

$ brain substations 48

Classical Focus | 539
LoFi Focus | 541
Atmospheric Focus | 538
Beach Focus | 53
Chimes & Bowls Focus | 54
Cinematic Music Focus | 300
Drone Focus | 537
Electronic Music Focus | 55
Forest Focus | 56
Grooves Focus | 536
Nightsounds Focus | 57
Piano Focus | 302
Rain Focus | 58
Relaxed | 34
Study Focus | 540
Thunder Focus | 59
Underwater Focus | 61
Wind Focus | 60

First, nice work building the graph automatically! That's not something you want to do by hand.

I don't want to start parsing the app bundle much because -- aside from brittle code -- I don't know how account feature flags can modify those values. For example, omitting or re-parenting station ids would be a silent failure. Imagine a user is part of A/B testing a station being listed as "focus" vs "deep sleep" by changing ids.

I agree that it would be nice to have some ability to see structure instead of a flat list though. Is string parsing the station name going to be too terrible here?
