RTL-SDR WFM RDS Decoderv1.0.0

A user wants to scan the entire FM broadcast band to discover all available stations, then record a specific station's audio. The skill provides a staged workflow: first scan with --scan-fm, then optionally decode RDS for station names, and finally record the chosen frequency with metadata tagging.

A user needs to extract the RDS station name (PS text) from a specific FM frequency. The skill uses redsea to decode RDS data and caches the name for later use in file naming, even if the station name is only partially available.

A user wants to record a radio station for an extended period, e.g., 5 minutes, for later listening or analysis. The skill supports --duration parameter to override the default 10-second sample, producing an MP3 file with proper frequency and station naming.

Before starting any recording tasks, a user runs --check to verify that all required tools (rtl_sdr, redsea, ffmpeg, etc.) are available. The skill provides detailed JSON output including availability status, probe messages, and return codes to diagnose missing dependencies.

A user wants the recorded MP3 files delivered via Telegram. The skill ensures that when sending media, the reply contains only the MEDIA: token on its own line, avoiding mixed text and media messages for proper attachment handling.

Offer automated scanning and recording of FM radio stations for businesses that need to monitor competitor broadcasts, track advertising, or archive content. The staged workflow allows efficient band-wide scans and selective recording.

Extract and sell RDS station names and metadata for market research or audience measurement. The skill provides reliable RDS decoding with fallback to 'UnknownStation' when data is unavailable.

Provide a specialized tool for podcasters, journalists, or researchers to easily record and name broadcast FM content. The skill's automatic MP3 naming with station name, frequency, and timestamp simplifies organization.
