I cannot play iHeart stream from web site or apps but I can play many
stations (but not all) using URL directly so the main purpose of the
plugin is providing simple access.

Shoutcast and possibly pls are usually there for legacy internet radio
devices who do not support HLS.

I'd expect HLS is the basis for the iHeart closed future.  The
additional metdata info on EXTINF lines are iHeart specific. I think the
gaps in m3u8 playback are there to discourage the use of non iHeart
players such as ffmpeg as I get the same gaps with VLC with the
"vanilla" m3u8 URL

If there was demand/need I might see oif the BBCiPlayer HLS can be
modified to play iHeart streams but at the moment with only 11 downloads
- I doubt it.
