FM Radio receiver based upon RTL-SDR as PVR addon for Kodi. This add-on to receive FM-Radio with RDS on very cheap USB DVB-T stick relies on RTL SDR FM Streamer software which is a small tool to stream FM radio by using a DVB-T dongle to a client e.g Kodi, (or VLC, or MPlayer for that matter). Operation is complete performed inside CPU which allow a lot of features, but also requires a lot of CPU performance.

The DVB-T dongle has to be based on the Realtek RTL2832U hardware chip. See http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr for more RTL SDR details.
The add-on interfaces with RTL-SDR supported Realtek RTL2832U based USB receivers (see http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) to decode an FM radio signal and send to Kodi the audio stream in float format and the RDS signal translated to UECP.


This addon interfaces with RTL-SDR supported receivers with Realtek RTL2832U as source (see http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) to make FM radio signal receive and send the audio stream in float format to Kodi and send also RDS signal translated to UECP in it.
The add-on is usable since Kodi 15.0 and RDS support first came with Kodi 16.0.

Note! On Linux make sure the kernel module dvb_usb_rtl28xxu for DVB-T is not loaded, otherwise is it not usable for RTL-SDR!

FM Radio with RDS receiver based upon RTL-SDR as a PVR add-on for Kodi. With this you can turn your Realtek RTL2832 based DVB dongle into a FM radio receiver.


Overview

This add-on, which allows you to receive FM Radio with RDS on a very cheap USB DVB-T stick, relies on RTL-SDR that provides a software defined radio using the USB stick. Processing is performed on the CPU which can require a lot of CPU performance.

The add-on interfaces with RTL-SDR supported Realtek RTL2832U based USB receivers (see http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) to decode an FM radio signal and send to Kodi the audio stream in float format and the RDS signal translated to UECP.

The add-on is usable since Kodi 15.0 and RDS support first came with Kodi 16.0.

Note! On Linux make sure the kernel module dvb_usb_rtl28xxu for DVB-T is not loaded, otherwise is it not usable for RTL-SDR!
