I've just pushed beta 0.0.5c that tries to handle the upcoming requirements from Bauer for playing their on-premium streams.
You can see their FAQ for this on any of their stations by going to /stream https://jazzfm.com/stream which redirects to https://planetradio.co.uk/jazz-fm/station/on-air/changes-to-streaming-listening/ and they say: Code: -------------------- FAQ's Q: Why can I no longer find your station on TuneIn / other radio aggregator app? A: At Jazz FM we want to create the very best content for our listeners, as well as the best user experience. When listeners access our streams via a third-party platform such as TuneIn/Radio app, it creates a barrier that limits our ability to understand how you like to use our service. As a result, we are encouraging all listeners to now access us directly, be that via our own app or website. You can also download the RadioPlayer app where you can listen to us plus many other stations. We really value you as a listener, and hope that this change doesnt cause too much inconvenience. You can find a list of all ways to listen, here. Q: Why can I no longer play Jazz FM on my Sonos / other connected speaker? A: It is likely that you have previously been using a third-party app to stream our station. We have now changed the way that we distribute our online streaming, and encourage you to now listen to us directly, via our own Planet Radio Music service on Sonos or via our own app or website. You can also download the RadioPlayer app where you can listen to us plus many other stations. We really value you as a listener, and hope that this change doesnt cause too much inconvenience. Q. I own an Internet Radio. Will I still be able to access Jazz FM? A: If your radio has DAB digital radio capability, you will still be able to access Jazz FM. Enter your post code in the Get Digital Radio post code checker to see if we are available in your region. Unfortunately at this time, our online-only services will not be available on some selected internet and wi-fi radios. However, there may be lots of ways you can connect your device to a phone or laptop, such as via Bluetooth, Chromecast, aux lead or USB. Simply download the Jazz FM app, or find us on our website. -------------------- In this case ... a Squeezebox Player without this plugin is like "an Internet Radio" ... in which case they suggest you tune in via DAB or play it on your phone and use Bluetooth/Chromecast/AUX cable etc. However, with this plugin it becomes more like their description for Sonos ... where this plugin is like an App the helps to keep it working. Note though - I cannot guarantee that this update will work with whatever they do in the next few days, weeks and months. They do say that people can still use the UK RadioPlayer app ... so it is possible that things will still work via the UK RadioPlayer plugin however, RadioPlayer do not have all of the streams available and do not provide song info for Bauer stations because Bauer do not provide it to them (and I suspect that the two LMS plugins fight over matching the stream URL so odd things happen when trying to show what is playing). The beta repo link is not published - so drop me a PM if you want to try it.
