I've just made a new beta 0.0.17a that adds Offshore Music Radio
I had it working by simply making a new config file to parse in stream data from their Shoutcast server and using the new CoverSearch stuff to fetch cover art from elsewhere. It worked - although the cover art was, naturally enough, not the same as on their site at http://www.offshoremusicradio.com/lastplayed.php However, they then started a Beach Boys hour with a DJ chatting and my display was stuck on the track preceding their show. So I had to do some more digging around and I found that they also have an Icecast server and it had the name of the show as the last played item ... so that was good news. Also good news was that this Icecast server hosts the higher quality stream - 160k OGG Vorbis. They do not update track titles during the DJ led shows (you can see the same on their web site). I might have a go at parsing their HTML to get the track details including their (iTunes) cover art ... but it is always much more fragile to parse someone's web page for data ... however, I suspect that their web page layout does not change much.
