[FEATURE] Radio module

[ortoklas]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is not exactly a problem but a feature we all can enjoy ,an interactive QuickShell radio module running in the background .
Simple - stop,play,next,previous radio station .
The icon is KDE based breeze-dark ,I want it to have accent color when playing but couldn't ,when mouse hover above ,it will change color to theme instead. This is just an idea .
Change stations with mouse wheel (hover above icon) or make keybindings (notification will show station )

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Prerequisites

Install:
mpv
curl (usually already installed)
Example:
sudo pacman -S mpv curl

2. Copy the Quickshell module
   Copy these files:
   ~/.config/quickshell/StatusbarApp/
   ├── RadioModule.qml
   ├── BarButton.qml (modified)
   └── StatusbarWindow.qml (modified)
   These provide:
   the radio button
   popup/menu
   integration into the status bar

3. Copy the scripts
   Copy:
   ~/.local/bin/
   ├── radio-toggle
   ├── radio-next
   └── radio-prev
   Make them executable:
   chmod +x ~/.local/bin/radio-*
   These scripts:
   start/stop playback
   switch stations
   keep playback running through mpv

4. Copy the station list
   Copy:
   ~/.config/radio/stations
   This is simply a playlist
   Adding new stations only requires editing this file.

5. Copy the icon
   Copy:
   ~/.config/quickshell/shared/icons/radio.svg

6. Preserve ML4W status information
   Copy:
   ~/.config/ml4w-statusbar/statusbar.json
   This stores:
   radio enabled/disabled
   current station index
   playback state

7. Verify the installation
   You should end up with something like:
   ~/.config/
   ├── quickshell/
   │ ├── StatusbarApp/
   │ │ ├── RadioModule.qml
   │ │ ├── BarButton.qml
   │ │ └── StatusbarWindow.qml
   │ └── shared/icons/
   │ └── radio.svg
   │
   ├── radio/
   │ └── stations
   │
   └── ml4w-statusbar/
   └── statusbar.json

~/.local/bin/
├── radio-toggle
├── radio-next
└── radio-prev

8. Restart Quickshell
   Either restart Quickshell or log out and back in.

9. Test
   Run:
   radio-toggle
   Verify:
   pgrep -a mpv
   You should see an mpv process playing the selected stream.

Additional context

Architecture
The implementation is cleanly separated:
Status Bar
│
▼
RadioModule.qml
│
├── reads statusbar.json
├── launches scripts
│
▼
radio-toggle / next / prev
│
▼
mpv
│
▼
Internet Radio Stream

Configuration is isolated:

UI → RadioModule.qml
Playback logic → ~/.local/bin/radio-*
Stations → ~/.config/radio/stations
Persistent state → statusbar.json

This separation means future ML4W updates are less likely to affect the radio functionality.
