Hi!

Until recently 'KCRW Eclectic24'
(https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/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-do-I-listen-to-KCRW-on-my-third-party-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/all/1?page_size=5&callback=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 permanent 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.
