coderadio.nvim
A Neovim plugin for streaming freeCodeCamp Code Radio, with live track metadata, volume controls, and statusline integration.
On this page
coderadio.nvim brings freeCodeCamp Code Radio
into Neovim, so I can start a coding soundtrack without leaving the editor.
It provides commands for playback and volume, a floating window with the current
track, and optional statusline integration.
How it works
The plugin uses mpv for audio playback and follows Code Radio’s live track
updates through Server-Sent Events. When socat is available, it talks to
mpv over IPC so volume changes stay smooth and do not restart the stream.
Install it with your Neovim plugin manager, then run :CodeRadioPlay. The
plugin does not create key mappings unless you explicitly enable them.
