beta 0.0.10 now available for those who still have the experimental beta repo configured. This adds 9 stations from St Louis Classic Rock - https://stlouisclassicrock.com/
This is another set that TuneIn hides from UK listeners. The stations could already by added to LMS by hand if you worked out the stream URLs - and you would have received artist & title. With this plugin update you will get cover art and year in addition to artist & title. I had a request to add this yesterday. It took some effort to work out how to get the data but I was able to get it working just by creating a configuration file. I had to write some extra code to handle the conversion of the cover art id to a usable URL but overall it turned out to be relatively easy. Doing this the old way would have meant a whole new plugin and the probability that most users would not find it. Now anyone who has this plugin installed will have easy access to the extra stations. Of course, this approach does not really scale since there are too many different ways for broadcasters to make their data available (especially as they do not really expect it to be consumed this way). But it has certainly made things easier for me.
