Wrapper on Xiaomi Mi WiFi Online radio to add functionality for adding own radio stations. Remember to read the instructions first.

It allows you to create a list of your own radio stations (no limits for Chinese stations only). You can add stations from your region and listen them on your favorite device.

It requires you to redirect subdomains on your router to work correctly and a separate (may be combined with router) web server for working with them.

1. Mi WiFi Online Radio

   

2. WiFi Router supporting DNSMasq (DD-WRT supports it)

3. Local/Remote Server with root access for installing programs

   • PHP 5.4+ (allowing you to use exec function) (PHP 7 with mysqli supported)
   • MySQL
   • Nginx (you can remake everything for Apache as well)
   • ffmpeg + fdk_acc

4. Unix knowledge

Things will only work when you use your phone in the same WiFi network with the radio or have added radio stations to your favorites.

This wrapper works as an interceptor for all your requests to *.ximalaya.com to emulate API. So some things may go broken.

This wrapper is only inteded for private use and is not allowed to use publicly.

All you are doing may or may not hurt your device and finally brick it

1. Config your linux/bsd server to be up and running. Use nginx + PHP 5.4+ + MySQL for that

2. Here is an example of my configuration for domain (using Vesta as my control panel). Pay attention to the lines rewriting m3u8 files and redirecting requests to nonexistant files to our main php-script. Don't forget to replace domainname.com with the one you like (and have access to). This config can be non-functional on your nginx installation, so just pay attention to what i mentioned above and modify it to fit your server.

   server {
    listen      192.168.0.100:80;
    server_name domainname.com ximalaya.com www.ximalaya.com api.ximalaya.com mobile.ximalaya.com open.ximalaya.com;
    root        /home/webuser/web/ximalaya.com/public_html;
    index       index.php index.html index.htm;
    location / {
        rewrite ^/(.*).m3u8 /play.php?xid=$1; 
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
   
        location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ {
            expires     max;
        }
   
        location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
                return  404;
            }
   
            fastcgi_pass    127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index   index.php;
                        include         /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                    }
                }
   
                location ~* "/\.(htaccess|htpasswd)$" {
                    deny    all;
                    return  404;
                }
            
            }
   

3. Copy the files from this repository to your site's root folder.

4. Configure database credentials inside config/config.php

5. Import initial database via phpmyadmin (file db.sql)

6. Configure directory uploads and file config/config.php to be writable

7. Access your wrapper admin panel adding /admin.php to your domainname.com from nginx config. Like domainname.com/admin.php. It will guide you through creating an admin account and login.

8. Try to understand the way of creating your own radios in admin panel.

9. Install ffmpeg with fdk-aac. I used the ppa from here: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media For freebsd you need recompile it from ports.

10. Check your ffmpeg starts and is functioning

11. Now configure DNSMasq on your router to redirect #.ximalaya.com to your server. In DD-WRT this is done in section Services -> Services. Find the textbox Additional DNSMasq Options and add the code below, then save configuration and reboot router. You may refer to the image below.

    address=/.ximalaya.com/192.168.0.100

12. Start using your app for the Radio device as usual. Try adding radio station in it and search for the stations you've added in admin panel before.

Sorry for the code quality in wrapper script. It's as old as Ice Age. Feel free to recommend your changes and new wrapper functions.
