This plugin enables listening to many iHeart live US stations. This is a LMS plugin which means a local LMS is required - it does not work with mysqueezebox.com connected devices. To install - add the respositry URL below to the LMS WebUI/Settings/Plugins "Additional Respositories" at the bottom of the page.
The plugin provides two menus * a keyword search - seems to match a word in station name, callsign or description. * browse by genre Each iHeart station may have a number of "playable" URLs but not all LMS version and players can play all types of URL. A station on a menu is a playlist of the station's URLs ordered by probably most playable first. Once playing a user can save as a Favorite. The URLs are ordered as follows: Shoutcast, Secure Shoutcast, HLS, secure HLS, PLS, STW and secure STW Shoutcast URls are "normal" http streams with audio in MP3 or AAC. Secure Shoutcast URls are https streams with audio MP3 or AAC - these require a version of LMS that supports "https" to proxy the streram. HLS and Secure HLS streams are Apple HLS (i.e.m3u8) they will require PlayHLS plugin (and ffmpge/avconv) to be installed to be playable. PLS stream are streams which are pls playlist format - the actual stream may be in the format of any of the above 4 streams. STW and secure STW - these are streamtheworld URLs which may or may not work as they are old. iHeart API may also provides rtmp and flv Flast stream but these are not playable on LMS. A user can drill down the Station instead of playing and copy an URL into a Favorite. Only Shoutcast URLs found by this plugin will be playable on a device connected to mysqueezebox.com assuming the shoutcast URL has been copied as a mysqeueezebox favorite.
