More skins on the way! 3 now, but I had to spend some time building the Site sniffer so users can add their own favs to the save list. (As if 70,000 stations aren't enough to choose from!) And does Perchance Radio find and play podcasts?

Oh, yeah, that one! I found that, and that's when I decided to have Wade build me a better interface. We started with the radio code from that gen, actually, then redesigned the interface, added podcasts, and put in code that allows users to add their own urls and even sniff sites they listen to for urls that will play in ours.

Currently adding new skins, auto volume leveling, and advanced "site sniffing" for custom web sites users want to add from. Enjoy!

 

I built a thing and I'm proud of it: an internet-radio + podcast player that runs right in your browser on Perchance.

๐Ÿ“ป Thousands of live stations worldwide โ€” search by name or genre, save 6 presets, sleep timer, even a visual "tuning" experience ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ A podcast player that actually plays episodes โ€” subscribe to any RSS feed, resume where you left off, mark episodes done. (On a platform where most "podcast players" just fake it, this one's the real deal.) ๐Ÿงญ NEW: AI "Site Sniff" โ€” paste any website you know has audio (a radio station, a podcast's site, whatever), and it hunts down the playable radio streams and podcast feeds on it. Found 10 channels on a site I tested in seconds. Everything you save lives in your own browser โ€” no account, no tracking, no BS. Export a backup and take it anywhere.

Feed it a website you love and see what it digs up. Happy listening!

 

Even faster than our Story Gen! You guys are amazing! Thanks for giving us a shot, and be sure to let me know of any bugs, requests, ideas, etc. I'm on it all the time! Thanks!

It usually took a couple days for my gen to flip to private, though I wasn't really checking; I've decided to live with it, since most of my traffic seems to be coming from shared links, posted links, etc. I don't know if the occasional flips were due to my edits resaving the gen, or the slow bot hypothesis. If I wanted to check gens periodically, though, and wasn't catching them on edits, I'd put a slow bot on it....

 

A user of my home page gen posted this feedback:

i use safari on ipados 18.7.7, and the new ai helper doesn't seem to work. it keeps showing "error: fh.createWritable is not a function. (In 'fh.createWritable()', 'fh.createWritable' is undefined) โ€” retry in a moment" on the first message, then on another it just loads infinitely and doesn't seem to do anything.

I put it to my AI Helper, Wade, and here's the response:

"Root cause: The new AI Helper writes the generator's files through fh.createWritable(), which is part of the File System Access API. iPadOS Safari doesn't implement that API (it's Chrome/Edge-only on mobile; Safari supports it only partially, and even macOS Safari lacks showSaveFilePicker). So when the helper tries to persist its first edit, fh.createWritable is undefined โ†’ the server replies error: fh.createWritable is not a function โ€ฆ โ€” retry in a moment, and the infinite spinner is the client's retry loop never succeeding.

What the user should do:

Use the AI Helper from a desktop Chrome or Edge (or Firefox on desktop) โ€” it works there. On the iPad itself, no iOS browser will help โ€” Chrome for iOS is still WebKit underneath and has the same gap. Editing/viewing generators works fine in Safari; only the AI Helper's file-write step fails. Report it to the Perchance community forum with that exact error โ€” it's a platform bug, and they're the only ones who can add a fallback (e.g. a download-based save instead of createWritable) or gate the feature on API support."

Anyone have other ideas, recommendations?

That's a lot of useful information, and after having my AI Helper, Wade, scan my gen, it is all confirmed. I had Wade write a new guide for my homepage https://perchance.org/prompt-engineers-home-page#avoid-moderation-bans so others can put all this together, and to warn new users how to avoid the problem. Credit to you for pointing me in the right direction is included. Thanks!

Got it, thanks. Scanning files....

 

My Prompt Engineer's Story Generator keeps getting flipped to private. Anyone know why this happens, and how I can fix it?

[โ€“] Daveed@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Done! Simply had Wade (my personal AI Helper) strip away the non-template content from a gen I created from the template a couple days ago, after I duplicated it (the proper technique, this time!). It's live again, same link, so the old links work again. Here it is, as well:

https://perchance.org/new-gen-template

Pretty basic, but when used correctly (!) it is easier than copying prompts and files and everything I want in a new gen.

Thanks! But, as a retired software engineer (you, not me), I think it only fair to tell you that I am a budding prompt engineer, and I create ALL of my gens without ever touching the code. I use the AI Helper (with a Wade Wilson/Deadpool personality) to do the coding, while I just prompt it to give me what I want. We created the radio/podcast gen in six hours!

The template gen has disappeared--I don't know why, but suspect I messed up when I started the Radio/Podcast gen! I'll see if I can find it, or I'll recreate it.

It means a lot to me that someone with your background 'loves my work'. Believe it or not, I've only been messing around with ai for about a year, as time allowed. Have some basic coding understanding, mostly VBA and Python--enough to understand what is going on with it, but not enough to write entire apps. The best thing about Perchance is that I can express my creativity with ai for free, and the damn thing is very competent!

 

I searched for "podcast" and found ZERO gens that play podcasts, let alone search 925 of them! I built a cool new radio gen, and queried the AI Helper about podcasts--No problem! (It was tricky, though.) Now you (and I) can listen to more than 70,000 radio stations streaming live, PLUS more than 925 podcasts! All searchable, saveable, pick-up-where-you-left-off-able. Try it out and let me know what you think, what bugs you might find (rigorously tested, but still), or what you'd like added.

You're welcome!

If it weren't for all the downvotes across the board, I'd think the downvotes this post has received were from developers of the other story gens on Perchance! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I got so tired of Leo, Maya, Mio, Electirc(ity), etc. that I created a new story gen that allows users to give it multiple prompt specifics easily, as well as hard coded system prompt to avoid this garbage:

Even managed to get myself banned from lemmy.zip's perchance community!

I hope this helps!
