StreamHawk scans playlists for your favorite artists.
Works with:
• SiriusXM • Soma.fm
Installing on Mac
Download, unzip and drag to your Applications folder.
Note: If you get an alert when opening, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click Open Anyway. You only have to do this the first time.
Choosing Streams
Click Streams (or press ‘s’) to see the current list. Mark the checkbox to monitor a stream. Move streams up (⋀) or down (⋁) in the list. Check Play to auto-start favorites (VLC required, Soma.fm streams only). Check Talk and choose voices to announce favorites.
Managing Streams
Click Manage (or press ‘m’) to add or remove Soma.fm and SiriusXM streams. Add up to 24 streams. Streams cannot be added twice. To rename, right-click an added stream.
Updating Streams List
Click a streaming service to download and update its list of available streams.
Monitoring Streams
Hit SPACEBAR or the PAUSED / WATCHING button to start / stop updating the playlist, in 15/30/45-second intervals. Favorites are shown in bold, and optionally announced and streamed.
Stream Logos
Press ‘l’ (lowercase ‘L’) to see logos of current streams – shown in rows of five, mirroring the layout of the Soma.fm Roku player.
Adding Favorite Artists
Double-click the playlist (or press ‘d’ or ‘=’) to add new artists. Mark artist/s, and click Add. Click AllMusic info for track details.
Editing Favorite Artists
Click Artists (or press ‘a’) to see the full list. Add or delete, keeping one per line. Streams match by full or partial artist name.
Search Options
To match not only artists, but track names, use a starting asterisk. The following matches the artist ‘Cujo – Traffic’ as well as the track name ‘Curtis – Scram feat. Cujo’.
*Cujo
Require full name matches with a starting equal sign. The following stops a bad ‘Orbital’ match, but misses a good ‘The Orb’ match.
=Orb
Ignore case with a starting tilde. The following matches ‘Dj Food’ as it appears on some streams.
~DJ Food
That covers it! Let me know any bugs or suggestions.
