The latest versions of SlimServer offer the following feature under
Player Settings/Plugins:
Code:
--------------------
Display playlist name for radio stations
Online streams often don't differentiate song-, album- or artistname.
This can result in an empty string. Should empty strings be
replaced by the playlist name (if available)?
Display playlist name for radio stations? [yes|no]
--------------------
It would be nice if a similar option could be provided to display the
playlist name for the radio station regardless of whether the title
provided by the station is an empty string or not. I mostly listen to
talk radio stations, and some of these stations broadcast irritating or
otherwise useless titles (e.g. the URL itself, advertising for their
website, and sometimes even profanity) that make it difficult or
impossible to tell what station is playing by looking at the display.
If I assign a playlist name like "BBC World Service" or "KFI 640 AM Los
Angeles", that's what I'd like to see displayed on the SqueezeBox while
playing these stations. Since the code already exists to do this in the
case of empty strings, it seems like this could be implemented quite
easily.
