Hi!
Until recently KCRW Eclectic24 had "built-in" track-info in their audiostream - At least when streamed via TuneIn Radio. However track-info disappeared a month or two ago.
The station is great for discovering new music, and is generally very much in my taste. And I greatly miss playing the station with "now playing" track-info on my squeezebox.
The audiostream is here:
http://media.kcrw.com/pls/kcrwmusic.pls
(https://help.kcrw.com/s/article/How-...y-music-device)
And I found json feed with track info here:
https://tracklist-api.kcrw.com/Music/all/1?page_size=5
(or jsonp, but probably not very relevant in this case: https://tracklist-api.kcrw.com/Music...ack=eclectic24)
And I thought it cannot be the first time there's an audiostream and a json feed with trackinfo. Someone must already have combined an audiostream and a json track-info feed into a LMS plugin playing the audio while showing track info? With a little luck you could create a new Eclectic24 plug-in by replacing stream and feed URLs and do a few adjustments to json parsing adating to the format from KCRW's json-feed?
Would be nice if scrobbling in "radio mode" (not permanently stored in my last.fm profile) was supported too. But could easily live without that :-)
Any such thing out there which somebody maybe could modify to work with KCRW Eclectic 24?
I have no knowledge about LMS plugins or Perl myself, but *maybe* I could even create one myself if there was a "skeleton plug-in" I was allowed and able to modify like described.
