This announcement is for two distinct plugins for the CBC Radio services of Canada. The English service (CBC Radio One and CBC Music) is at https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio The French service (ICI Musique and ICI Première) is at https://www.ici.radiocanada.ca/ (completely different programmes / music to the English service)
Depending on the station / programme, it presents track information (Artist, Title, Cover Art, Label, Year) or programme information (Title, Synopsis, Artwork). If you do not see what you are hearing then first check with the "CBC Listen" or Radio-Canada "RC OHdio" app or their web sites to see if they have the same problem. There are two plugins because, for now at least, the plugin code has some parts that assume that only a single broadcaster being supported - and because CBC/Radio-Canada have chosen to implement their URLs and data feeds completely differently - almost like they have two completely different and isolated development teams. There are still a few things I need to resolve, particularly for the French stations. Mainly because RadioTime has different names for the stations to the ones that Radio-Canada uses so matching some of them has been tricky plus some appear to be missing. Also - the French services do not provide cover art for tracks and often have no label information. Again for the French service, I have added an option (disabled by default) to try to get track info from an additional location because their primary one often has nothing. However, it has side-effects because their alternate source (the same as the use for their web site ticker at the top of the page) does not have the end time / duration for tracks so in a programme with spoken links you will see the track name still displayed while people are talking. They should appear in the list of 3rd-party plugins over the next day or so.
