0.0.19e (via non-published beta repo) - Add OUIfm (France) and its 20 themed rock channels
OUIfm is a rock outlet and it has one broadcast station (FM and DAB+) - it is the first shown in the list in the plugin. It has quite a few adverts on the broadcast station but I have not heard any on the webradio streams. I listened to the oddly names "OUI FM ROCK' N FOOD" (yes - that is how they write it) ... and it is indeed rock songs that feature food or drink. Fun for a few minutes trying to catch the reference in some of the songs (most are simply in the title) ... but I tuned in a few times over the last couple of days and the same songs turn up a lot so I think they need a few more recommendations for their library. This is the broadcaster that lead me to adding a 2nd coversearch source. They provide a link to cover art but looks like they generate the link without verifying that it will work. A good workaround would be for LMS to have a different fallback process so that 2 image links could be provided ... then if the first one fails then LMS would fallback to the other (and tell the player) rather than showing the antenna image. One solution would be for the plugin to test to see if the image exists but that would be an extra http request for each track. However, my simple solution was to force the plugin to do a coversearch lookup for each track (still an extra http request but the code was already there for it) and then have my back-end coversearch function test to see if the image is available before returning the link (yet another http request but done on my website - and it caches the result).
