I can see how to get the data from the broadcaster's web site but can
someone give me some pointers for how to get the plugin called
periodically?

Look into Slim::Formats::RemoteMetadata. Register a data provider which will be called as soon as your station is being called. Then run some polling code (Slim::Utils::Timer) to update the data as long as you're streaming that station.

You might need to check yourself whether you're still streaming that station, and stop timers accordingly.
