Radio Alarm

Postby Steve6 » 13 Dec 2023 16:08

OSX 10.10.5/VLC Media Player 3.0.18

Does this app have an alarm that will autoplay an online radio station at a preset time?
Or is there a free downloadable app that causes VLC to autoplay an online radio station at a preset time?

I formerly used iTunes Alarm w/iTunes.

Given the complexity of VLC, its strange that an alarm is not in it.

We don't run VLC as a background app that is aware of the date or time. However, you can probably script that or use Shortcuts.app to achieve this feature.

I used iTunes Alarm to play an iTunes radio stream when my computer awakened in the morning. No technical knowledge was needed. But Apple disabled most of iTunes so I use VLC to play online music stations. I dont know anything about scripts. Shortcuts.app does not exist. Is there an VLC alarm? Or another very simple method using VLC to awaken me with streaming music?
