# Shortwave
Shortwave is an internet radio player that provides access to a station database with over 50,000 stations.
## Getting in Touch
If you have any questions regarding the use or development of Shortwave,
want to discuss design or simply hang out, please join us on our [#shortwave:gnome.org](https://matrix.to/#/#shortwave:gnome.org) matrix room.
## Installation
The recommended way of installing Shortwave is using the Flatpak package. If you don't have Flatpak installed yet, you can get it from [here](https://flatpak.org/setup/). You can install stable builds of Shortwave from Flathub by using this command:
`flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave.flatpakref`
Or by clicking this button:

#### Nightly Builds
Development builds of Shortwave are available from the `gnome-nightly` Flatpak repository:
```
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo
flatpak install gnome-nightly de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave.Devel
```
## FAQ
- **Why is it called 'Shortwave'?**
Shortwave signals have a very long range because of their very good reflection properties.
Due to their long range, they can be received almost anywhere in the world.
The same applies to Internet radio stations, which can also be received almost anywhere in the world.
That's why we decided to call the project 'Shortwave', because internet radio stations and shortwave radio stations share many characteristics.
If you want to know more about the naming process, you should read this [blog post](https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2019/04/26/naming-your-app/)
- **Why I cannot edit stations anymore?**
The edit feature is disabled because of vandalism. I cannot change this. [More information here](http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#/) and [here](https://github.com/segler-alex/radiobrowser-api/issues/39).
- **Is Shortwave compatible with Linux phones?**
Yes! We use the awesome [libadwaita](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita) library to make the interface adaptive. The easiest way to get it on your phone is using the Flatpak package. [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave) provides aarch64 packages.
- **Which database does Shortwave use?**
[radio-browser.info](http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#/). It's a community database, everybody can contribute information.
- **How I can get debug information?**
Run Shortwave using `RUST_BACKTRACE=1 RUST_LOG=shortwave=debug flatpak run de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave` (`.Devel`).
