Also - TuneIn sometimes has programme information (
https://help.tunein.com/how-do-i-update-my-station-schedule--SkIFQfiuG )
.. which LMS has access to.
I do not know how many broadcasters provide that programme data to
TuneIn and keep it up to date.
This has a duration and seconds_remaining field - so a progress bar
could be shown.
Currently LMS is able to show programme names from TuneIn because it
takes the first two name fields and drops them into artist and title.
But TuneIn actually indicates what the item is with the "key" field.
So LMS could store them separately from the real artist/title
Code:
--------------------
{
guide_id => "s112653",
image => "http://cdn-radiotime-logos.tunein.com/s112653q.png";,
items => [],
key => "station",
name => "Radio Melody 105.7",
preset_id => "s112653",
type => "text",
url => undef,
value => "Radio Melody 105.7",
},
{
duration => 7200,
guide_id => "p1000896",
items => [],
key => "show",
name => "Radio Melody am Vormittag",
seconds_remaining => 2815,
type => "text",
url => undef,
value => "Radio Melody am Vormittag",
},
--------------------
Some supplementary reasons - none of which are big issues.
Having real programme fields would also prevent wasted lookups of artist
info in MAI (although it is not likely that an end-user would click on
artist info when the radio station is not showing song info ... but the
display might be left open).
For those users who have scrobbling of internet radio listening enabled
... it would help to stop (unless a new option was added to allow it)
station/programme details being scrobbled. (e.g. like this ...
