This plugin is for track (cover art, artist, title) and programme (picture, title, synopsis) for Bauer Media (UK) stations (for example: Planet Rock, Absolute, Kiss, Jazz FM, Scala, Kerrang!, Magic, Greatest Hits, Country Hits and some local radio stations (e.g. Clyde, Cool, Pirate). This includes the various related stations in brands such as Absolute 80s, KisStory, LMS (via TuneIn) already provides track title and artist for some of the stations - but without cover art and no programme details.
I have seen that the track information transitions are a bit out of sync with live playing - but to a varying degree across different stations and at different times. They do provide an offset to use but it does not seem to be correct. Overall, it is close enough to be useable. This is still work in progress. For example - I plan to: - add more matching by TuneIn id (lots of stations to find - I have not done all of the local stations yet) - add the list of stations to the menu to make it easier to play them - provide listen again links (not investigated deeply yet but I think it could be feasible) If you find that track information is not showing then first check their web site at https://www.planetradio.co.uk and see if it is there. (click on the top left to get a drop down list) If the track information is not there then it is probably why the plugin is not showing it. For example - they appear to have had a problem on Sunday night through to Monday morning with no updates for a lot of stations.
