This is a plugin for ABC Australia https://radio.abc.net.au/stations - covering stations such as ABC Jazz, Double J, triple j unearthed
Depending on the station, it presents track information (Artist, Title, Cover Art, Label, Year) or programme information (Title, Synopsis, Artwork) As an example - before you install the plugin play "ABC Jazz" or "ABC Country" or "triple j" on your Squeezebox and you will see some limited, if any, track info. Then install this plugin and try again ... and watch the ABC website at the same time - for example for "ABC Jazz" https://radio.abc.net.au/stations/jazz/live The best way to experiment with these stations in LMS is to go to the Radio section and then choose World > National Networks > ABC Australia They have over 50 (around 2/3 are speech only). Note: The broadcaster does not always provide track information in a timely manner - so if you find that sometimes no new details arrive then check on the ABC site to see if they have the same problem. They do generally provide the end time or duration for tracks so you will probably see a progress marker as they play (unless it is a very long track). If it is a song inside a show then ... hopefully ... you will see it switch to the programme info (with progress marker - again unless it is a very long show) when the DJ is speaking. Their timings are not always accurate though ... so don't complain if it seems a few seconds out. I'm trying to use the same data as their web site uses. This plugin relies on the time on your local LMS server to be roughly correct - timezone and time - because the local time is compared with the scheduled time for each track from the broadcaster. If things are not working then enable Debug logging for this plugin via LMS/Settings/Advanced/Logging interface, repeat the problem and then check the LMS logs. You might need a version of LMS more recent than 7.9.1 Feb 2018 because of improvements in LMS to handling HTTPS connections. During development I was seeing issues with LMS/Jivelite not being able to present some of the artwork. This did coincide with nationwide issues with my ISP so that might have been the cause. However, I suspect it was to do with the size of some of their image. They do make some alternative sizes available, so I have currently hard-coded it to try to use an image no greater than 340x340 (which is one of their common sizes). If I cannot find one then I use their default (I have seen as big as 1400 x 1400). There are still some issues that I am working on - but it seems to mostly work. This plugin relies on data from ABC Australia but is not endorsed by them and it could easily break if they change their formats. For now, during the first public testing phase, - add this repository to your local LMS. http://www.dabdig.co.uk/slimserver-rep/repo-abcaustralia.xml Michael H - please don't put it in the list of 3rd-party plugins yet because I will probably change the repo location once it has been verified as working for a few people.
