Hi,

i am the maintainer of http://www.radio-browser.info
it would be cool if vlc would use this completely free and public domain directory as a source
for radio streams. it is a wiki like approach to collect online radio streams
documenation is at
http://www.radio-browser.info/webservice

is somebody interested in this?

greetings
alex

Yep, I am very much interested.. I like to be able to use VLC with radio-browser, this database is simply fantastic, I use it a lot, and I like to be able to browse the DB from VLC as well..

I made a very simple service discovery plugin:

Code: Select all

--[[ radio-info lua script --]] require "simplexml" function descriptor() return { title="Radio-info" } end -- -- Main Function -- function main() local url = "https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/xml/stations" local tree = simplexml.parse_url(url) for _, result in ipairs( tree.children ) do simplexml.add_name_maps( result ) vlc.sd.add_item({path = result.attributes["url"], title = result.attributes["name"], arturl = result.attributes["favicon"], description = result.attributes["country"], genre = result.attributes["tags"]}) end end
It is far from the ideal, it loads all stations (slow), but the radio streams work.

It would be fantastic if there were a radio-browser plugin with search and sorting by music type, country, format, bit rate etc. (and if the existing Icecast plugin added search and sorting by music type, country, format, bit rate).
